Whenever you use throwlines, make sure to carry paramedic's shears or a
sharp knife as well!

Ok but where to buy such a thing?


Go to the website that sells police and emergency responders'
equipment: www.galls.com. They are called "bandage shears" and will be
in the section with equipment for EMTs (Emergency Medical Technicians).

Get several pairs; they're only about $5.00 each. In addition to the
advantages Wilko cited, is this: when you are bouncing around in
turbulent water, having just saved yer buddy's life by cutting him free
of an entanglement, you don't have to give a lot of thought (or take
any chances working further with a sharp tool) to how you are going to
stow this thing away. Just drop the &%$%^$ in the river. You've got a
$5.00 replacement in yer boat and another one in yer car.
