: In my el-cheapo PFD knife was just dangling from the belt (there was some
: flimsy belt). Now that I got fancy Kokatat Outfit Tour (but no belt), I'm
: puzzled. The knife is Gerber River Shorty. Below *left* shoulder strap, in
: diagonal over the pocket (handle would be protruding a bit)? Vertically at
: the front lash tab? Or above this tab (this looks like the best spot). And
: what is the best way to use slots on the sheath of that Shorty? (the lower
: slot has opening near the tip, I don't trust it). I've searched topics on
: "knife" here, but couldn't find anything - sorry if this is so
: simple that not worth talking about :-)Where it can be reached/released with either hand and doesn't get in the way of paddling.
Where the upper part/point is covered/taped or ??? so it can't hook on a perimeter line/bungee or ??? on any reentry techinque.
Tighly/closely fixed to the PFD so it doesn't get caught/tangled on anything during paddling, exits, etc.
I put a little closed cell foam onthe handle so it doesn't plummet to the bottom if I drop it. There is a nice Gerber Rivermaster on the bottom of Lake Powell from a kayak wiggle during lunch break. : (
