I appreciate it too.
Personal not so cool story;
I almost became a search target for HRD once when we tipped in the Au Sable river on a day it unexpectedly got below 32F (before 24/7 phone weather data) ..
I had ice forming on my clothes before I was all the way out the water.
We had no PFD, but in a 3' deep river it isn't much of a concern (even though it moves pretty quick in places), however getting *out of the water was when things got bad quickly. We were shivering pretty bad within minutes and everything we had was wet.

Thank goodness we had a bottle of something over 100 proof and got a little blue flame going for a fire (everything was wet/frozen, so getting tinder was a fail) .. otherwise they wouldn't have looked for us for a few days, and it would have been with dogs.


I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
