Thursday, May. 16th 2013 1:52 PM
Learn from the mistakes of others and be safe when on the water this winter season. Wear a life jacket as insurance against the elements the whole time if you’re out fishing, hunting or recreationally on a boat, canoe or kayak. When you’re shopping for a life jacket, ask about brands or models that are designed for use in cold water. There are life jackets available that are meant to help with cold-water survival, offering extra insulation to guard against hypothermia.
