NZ Sailing ⛵️rock. Great video David, keeping warm is the secret and dry warm feet 🦶 and hands 🙌 also very nice on a cold winter morning. Well done another informative video.
Great video Dave. I’m sizing a life jacket at the moment. Would you have two life jackets one for winter and one for summer? I’m thinking the jacket would be loose in summer when you don’t have all that warm stuff on. Cheers
Have you tested swimming and boarding the ski with all that gear in the event you fell off? I fell off a couple weekends ago (not fishing) and really had to swim fast as the wind was taking the ski away from me.
Would those clothes be water proof if you fell in? I doubt it? The high socks will keep your lower legs dry, then water will ingress down , same for the jacket and everything, there is many paths for the water to flow up and make you wet if you fell in, what you need is a wet suit, something continuous full body?
@@JK-ru3kt You're 100% correct it won't keep me dry if i fell in, and its bound to happen eventually even though the chance is low. If I was planning on falling in a lot I would wear a wetsuit, the main goal of this setup is to stay dry on the basis of not falling in.
Thank you Dave for the research and knowledge you have done and shared cheers from Oregon USA
You're welcome, thanks for watching!
Awesome mate!
Thanks!
Epic mate! Can tell you've spent some good money and time into making the most of those winter months 👏👏
Definately, have fished through every winter for the last 4-5 years in this same set of gear
Looks like awesome gear. Like socks and boots especially. I hate getting my feet wet when launching my boat in winter. Will look into those.
Thanks, I wear these during boat launch too, waders is another option you can use, just take them off once you have launched
Awesome video!
the timing catch with your intro dialogue is legend status
Cheers bro! I didn't think I was that clever but worked out alright 😁

Thanks for watching, I seem to get by with the same lifejacket, but yeah it's very tight in winter with the extra layers
Great video. Most of it applies to kayak fishing as well. Now I want all that gear 😂
Yeah I think it would be an ideal setup for Kayak fishing too

No I haven't, but you are so right it's something I need to practice

@@FishoDavo thanks that's fair enough.
Is that a GoPro camera mount on your life jacket?
This lifejacket does have a gopro camera mount. It's the Jetpilot Venture lifejacket
Can the thigh high socks come with suspenders?
You can get the Snowbee PVC Thigh Waders if you need the suspenders
All those layers?😂 better buy a 5mm wetsuit
That's a good idea too, my friend has that
