[pct-l] Hiking with a life jacket



NOW YOU ARE TALKING TORTOISE!!!
Full body armor and hard hat will not only protect you from hunters but also from bears.
You will be bear proof.....the bears can chew on you all day long and not get through the
body armor.

JMT Reinhold, my o-l-d friend.

I may be old but both my rotator cuffs are still in good working order.

I supplement my balance with my trekking poles, but still my foot 
slipped. Creek wasn't deep enough for a life jacket to be effective. 
Besides my pack is already too, too heavy!

More likely what I need is an ultra light-weight very strong combination 
bright orange hunter safety vest and body armor.
