I always carry a tether, and even use it once in awhile. Sometimes it gets in the way so I don't use it. Sometimes I'll want to take pictures, paddle in high wind or whatever and it really comes in handy. It is such a cheap and small piece of equipment I don't see why someone wouldn't get one. I usually just leave it sitting in my PFD pocket although I've seen a lot of people wrap them around their paddle shafts when not using them. If you're worried about entanglement, well hey, now you have another reason to carry a PFD mounted knife! -Patrick > >From: <skylakeboatworks_at_yahoo.com> > >> I have no idea what kind of can of worms I am opening with this one....
