We use an item called a "paddle park." It consists of about 3 feet of deckline attached to a carabiner on either end. These are just long enough to carry on the deck, doubled over with both carabiners clipped to the deckline on the same side. They are useful for many things - in addition to to clipping your kayak to a log for a quick lunch stop, you can use them for a contact tow - or even for a very short I tow, to hold onto your paddle when doing a rescuer when stopped to take a picture or grab something out of your day hatch, or to pull the boat along in shallow water - or lots of other things.
