The last thing

you want in white water is to be tethered to your boat. I go to great lengths to eliminate any possibility that I might find myself entangled in a rope or strap in the event of a capsize. If you lose your boat you still have a fighting chance of survival. Of course the risks increase exponentially when you are alone.
