re: Can you actually drown in waders?

Let’s say you fell out of a boat with them on. Take them off.

That's good in theory but the split second you hit that cold arse water the brain does some very weird shite. I think the biggest factor will be if you are wearing a life jacket or not. I will never, let me make it clear, NEVER get in a boat now without one. Plus, and I promise you this might have cost me my life as well in my situation if I didn't have a flipped boat to pull myself out of the water on is all the camo clothing you have on becomes totally water-logged and it is like swimming with dead weight. And you absolutely aren't treading water with waders on unless you are Michael Phelps.
