First an aside, some idiot left a campfire unattended, while we have the driest conditions ever and now we have a wildfire that has consumed over 8500 acres and has an active fire crew of 561 firefighters, See Pack Creek fire, Utah if interested

Back to the main program, my friend has a raft, so we went out on Monday to do a short section of the Colorado river. It has been very hot here so it was a nice way to spend part of the day. We were lucky to see many birds, including ducks, geese and blue herons. But the best was seeing the desert bighorn sheep ram right before takeout.
No Randall knife as you don't take pointy knives on inflatable crafts

Here are some photos and one of the smoke in the mountains from the fire

Looks like a sharp pointy on your vest.
What knife is that?
I am setting up a auto inflate vest for when I am out solo and am looking at alternatives to mount on mine.

Don't know if this will help,but,I carry a model 10-3 drop point attached to my vest, and a spyderco serrated salt wharncliff in a kydex sheath around my neck. The water I kayak in,is a river going thru a swamp,nothing as energetic as what Peter posted.

Thank you Peter for sharing more great photos. I always enjoy seeing you outdoor adventures, except those where you are dangling from ropes, etc. I hate heights!
