Kevin, well done. Safety out there is critical. I know from my years at sea, including the Bering Sea in winter, Gulf of Alaska in a gale, and our Gulf Coast marsh fishing. Keep up the message, including life vests and now, hypothermia. Rain gear at all times, full rain gear for wind and rain, food.water/space blanket for an unexpected overnight in the marsh... Ray
We were maybe 200 yards from some land and we wade this area multiple times a year. We don't use a wading staff when we wade fish. Some day as I get older, I may need to use one, but for now, the balance is pretty good.
Great foresight/preparation!

Great tip
Let me get this straight: You are wading in the middle of nowhere far away from shore in total darkness and without a wading staff?
I'm sure you don't ever make mistakes; but for us mortals, it's a great tip, and with lifesaving potential
