Yeah, I was thinking if it was wrong to do a full thread on it.
I look at this thread as a safety reminder. Obviously, you and many on here know the importance of proper safety measures, especially wearing a life vest.
Hopefully, anyone reading this who might neglect things like wearing a vest, will decide to put on one.
Spending time on and around the water can turn deadly in an instant, as many of us know.
For example, I was just explaining to my kids the other day how to handle the situation if they slipped and fell in a river we were hiking near. Better to be prepared, than panic.
If one person decides to put on a vest because of this thread, I think it's worth it.
Hopefully there won't be many additions, if at all, to this thread this year.

As many of you know I am on the water more than most on this site. When I fish alone I wear my inflatable PFD and usually attach my kill switch.
If you have an inflatable PFD the cylinder should be replaced every 3 years. I last went to replace all mine and found one had leaked making it only a manual inflation device. I strongly suggest checking or replacing yours each season or every 2 years. The time and money spent could be your life.
Fishing is not a matter of life or death. It's more important than that.
