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.

No... bad idea for the next adult or child who steps on the open, sharp
pair of sheers that you just dropped in the river... If you can't store
it properly than you have no business bringing it. Don't plan on leaving
anything behind... if you lose it you lose it, but never anticipate
something as disposable...

If the trip is too much for you, don't make the trip...

LOL!!!

There are a lot of things you can say about Richard, but not that he's
not very pragmatic!
