The original design of the Hippo backpack included external paddle attachment points. However, during testing, we found that external paddles and fishing rods could easily get caught on branches, causing accidental falls, injuries to others, or damage to the paddles. The large size of the backpack makes it easy to be overlooked its external attachments, causing accident. Therefore, we strongly advise against externally attaching paddles or fishing rods. It is safer to carry longer paddles by hand or in a paddle bag.

Carrying the Backpack on Water:

1The most secure method is to always carry items in a dry bag.

This is highly recommended. The folded backpack can be secured with buckles at the bottom and Velcro at the shoulders. (Dry bag not included in the product packing list.)

2Attaching it directly to the boat is only recommended for occasional use on calm water.
