OK.....the life jacket. Hog swam across a lake to an island. dogs followed. The individual with the lifejacket, being a dedicated houndsman stripped down..a bit.. and followed the dogs out to the island. he get's there, hog breaks and heads back to mainland with dogs in tow. swimming back to mainland...wearing clothes and boots, he poops out. long story short, he makes it back safely and swears that where the dogs go, he goes. the lifejacket is his insurance that if he needs to swim to the dogs, he will do it....alive!!!!

I understand about the Houndsman. But seems to me if he was going to wear clothes they would have to be light weight, and have canvas tennis shoes ( like Jim Taylor Converses ). I carry quite a scar from trekking off with Low Cut sneakers and NO Socks, and a sharp rock cut a gash in my left ankle. You all were hunting some rougher country to boot. We got a lot of modern material out there now, that he could wear under His clothes. Stuff that dries quickly of stuff he could pull off fairly easy. But each to his own. I got to admit I still like older things like canvas Carharts, Wool shirts, as opposed to more modern materials. Thanks for the pics and write up. That was one hell of a ride.

I think it's a very rare occasion that he has to go in the water like that, but on the off chance he does, he's got the life jacket!
