This looks amazingly similar to Example 3 in my response to the original post. :lol:

Re: Don't laugh - Water carry

Fangs wrote:I've found myself either in a river, creek, or pool almost every day over the last two weeks and have started wondering if there's a way to carry while wearing swim trunks. Sounds silly, but the best I've been able to find by searching is someone called Walter Birdsong who coats the gun with Black-T. Personally I was thinking a shrink wrapped type covering that you would obviously have to break to use the pistol, but should keep it completely dry otherwise. Am I just asking for too much?

On a side note, I found a thread on XD talk where pretty much everyone jumped the guy about going to pool parties where there might be alcohol and college students. I mostly frequent Blue Hole out in Wimberley (where I have yet to see alcohol), and the San Marcos / Comal rivers. Of course I won't be carrying while drinking, so please don't feel a need to dwell on that. I also think that if someone's worried about a drunk person getting my gun from me, then I'd say that's exactly the situation in which I'd need said gun.

Mostly, I just feel naked spending so much time unarmed. Often I ride with friends and can't easily store a gun in their vehicles.

Any suggestions?
I use a waterproof fanny pack designed to keep wallet, ID, cell phones, etc. dry when going canoeing, tubing, etc.

I did a quick search and found a couple you might consider:

Example 1

Example 2

Example 3

Mine most closely resembles Example 2 and works fine.

Needless to say, this is not a quick draw arrangement, but it allows you to keep your gun with you and solves the problem of keeping it secure when you have to park in remote, unsupervised waterfront access parking lots.
