Wear an inflatable PDF if one is available to you if you don't have a survivor floater.
Good luck and please play it safe. I would get a nice 4 inch spike or more on a broom pole. Pick and walk, repeat.
Of you have some ski poles hanging around one is ideal. A spike in each hand at the end of good cordage strung through the sleeves are a poor mans 1970's survivor suit.
Great decision to leave the quad at home. A few sleds or quads went down here yesterday I'm told. Only 5 feet of water, still not good. Gets very expensive when a cylinder gets some water in it and results in hydraulic lock sometimes. That's bad. I saw a pic of a push rod on a quad bent like a pretzel when the owner tried to start it.
Please don't go it alone. We need all the members we can get. Good fishin'
