I took the word "cougar" in the headline the wrong way, too.

I'd always heard that you should get rid of your boots, pants, shirt, etc. if you end up in the water. That they would "pull you down" as the article said.

But I've since read that the extra layers will help with hypothermia; less moving water close to your skin. Hope I never have to find out which is correct!
