You make a good point about waders, and this is good reminder for all or at least the newbies. Never wear the shoulders straps of the waders while in a boat or have them over your coat. I only wear the belt with a quick release and life jacket while motoring to the blind. Then put shoulder straps on. And of course if it raining you want to put coat over the straps so rain doesn't go down your waders. I was mentoring few years back and it was raining. I made sure all straps were over the coats. When we got there I took my coat off and put straps under. Told the rest should do the same, they didn't. It started to rain pretty good, they all got wet from waist down.
