[QUOTE="LaqueRatt, post: 505212, member: 32586"] Guess I should fess up. My ski vest came from a discount store. It's no more than an inch thick. It is CG approved though according to the tag. It's more for peace of mind than anything else. As a kid I lived on a bayou off the gulf and would swim it daily. Pretty sure can make it to shore on a 3/4 mile wide lake. One more mouse comment? I used to never catch mice with traps. So I get the frustration. For years I used peanut butter and would be amazed when the next day the PB was all gone and the trap was still set. Then I read about the peanut/glue trick online. Decided to use hot glue because it peels right off. That helped but I would still get some misses. Then I started examining the traps. Some you almost had to drop a bowling ball on to trigger. Others just plain wouldn't stay set at all. Soon figured out if you bent the tab where the rod goes you could make them ultra sensitive. The trap I get the best results with is so sensitive I almost can't set it down without it going off. Trust me, if you go about it right you'll soon have no mice! I buy my traps 4/$1 at Dollar General. [/QUOTE]
