Glad to hear you survived, stuff can be replaced, unless your a cat you only have one life. I think a lot of people don't realize how fast hypothermia can immobilize you. I've only had one brush with it, was fishing a bass tourney on the Merrimack River, typical sunny day forecast that turned into a windy cold rainy raw day and I didn't pack for it. Being a Federation Tourney, I was trying to tuff it out, but miles upriver, I suddenly began shaking uncontrollably. I had to lay down on the floor and laid out all the soft tackle worm totes I had on top of me until my partner could get me back to the ramp.

I'm SURE that sucked.... but that's a pretty damn funny mental picture.

Yeah, but ever since I've always got a waterproof bag with spare clothing, lessons learned are usually either embarrassing or expensive. In my case it's usually both, but I like to make sure I learn throughout life.
