The scabbard has a couple of places for some snaps. These snaps have a rather wide base that can be put behind some fabric, with the shaft going through a hole in fabric. The snaps can then be inserted into the scabbard.

I know I'm not being too clear. That being said, one of the snaps failed on me and I replaced it with a zip type cable tie. This works pretty good.

The vest I have has an general purpose attachment point which can be seen in this photo.

I used it and a trademark label that is below the attachment on mine to attach the scabbard to.

It also has a clip, but I don't trust it. Especially the way I have it oriented (upside down)

The wife had to use her's last year on the Middle Fork (for something other than making a sandwich). Had to cut loose a oar that had broke as we were going through Powerhouse.

Check this out. Guy kayaks over 186' waterfall for a world record. Nuts.

Sick video on that link. 186 feet is ridiculous.

Went ocean kayaking last summer in Maine for the first time--it was awesome. So, at the Outerbanks in NC a few weeks ago my family rented a kayak (one of the sit on top variety). I figured it was no big deal, I've kayaked on lakes plenty of times... well going out was uneventful, but coming back in was roughhh. My girlfriend was up front (it was a double) and we mistimed one of the waves... broke right on top of us and sent the kayak into a pretty outstanding flip. It stood on its nose (with me still hanging on) while I got gently lifted up and then driven into the sand. My girlfriend cleared the boat before it got too crazy. It was a lot of fun thought, I'd do it again, but not in 4-5 foot swells on my first attempt...

Great pics and stories, keep it up!

I'm back from my trip. We had a phenomenal trip. Didn't get to paddle all the coastline that we had intended because of high winds and big seas, but we still got to see some amazing sites.

I'll post pictures later. I haven't downloaded them yet.

A few more that my buddy Andrew took while on the Rogue a couple of weeks ago.

Hmmm... trying to add some photos here but my images are too big and I can't add links from Facebook. I'll have to resize what I'm going to put up and try again later.
