  • And this friend of your's wasn't carrying a river knife?

  • as a rule:

    you NEVER have a chest mounted tow-line any where near any water that is moving at more than a walking pace regardless of whether or not the strap is integrated into a jacket!

    i personally know a guy who drowned in a hole because he was towing a boat and it got snagged and he couldnt get the the release because the buckle had slipped up into his jacket. seriously!

    a sling is far more appropriate for this though and is also a fair bit cheaper!
