Call me old fashioned but for some things I still do like the hands on approach

How much do you want for that dog? I always wear a dive knife on my leg. I put a loop on it for my wrist just in case. They will sink if you drop them and I experimented with closed cell foam but I could not get it boyant enough to not sink. I am going to try the camera floats next. That is a great looking vest though. You look like a navy seal

Wouldn't sell her. Funny how she always seems to make an appearance in any video I make. I just wish she did not get seasick so I could still take her offshore.

Big but just a sweet as can be. Scares the hell out of the neighbors but loves cats and toys. She collects the latter and keeps them in her dog bowl.

I really love that dog, best Dog I've ever owned.

Good stuff man. Its interesting to hear that many long term kayakers dont see a need for the knife. Im just wondering how many remember the incident in Malibu where Tommy got the Rappala stuck in his chin by having some other guy drag his trolled lure over the kayak. If something like that happens, or god forbid, a T gets you wrapped in your own 65lb spectra its nice to have. I've had one in my vest since the beggining, the only thing I would say is a small lanyard would be a good idea so it does not get fumbled in a panic. I picked some up at West Marine years ago really light coiled things that stretch out about 4 feet and would be easy enough to break in a panic and yet strong enough to keep the knife within reach if your dragged off the kayak.
