I joked about this yesterday, but I took a dunk in the river yesterday. Fortunately, I WAS wearing a wading belt.
I was fishing along the base of some cliffs, standing on a rock shelf in the river. I stepped off the edge of shelf and was up to my chin with no terra firma under my feet.
The belt kept my waders from filling with water while I was able to swim with the current back to solid footing. Not sure what the outcome would have been without a belt with rapidly filling waders, and I’m glad I didn’t have to find out.
All told, I dumped about a gallon or two out of them when I got back to the pickup.
