It's always good to review what to do if you get knocked off your feet and get swept downstream, especially as we are near runoff time. Midcurrent links to an article from Alaska that gives some tips. Note that the guy Brian saw wading with a float tube couldn't do this.

Thank you Jon! Great article and information we should all review and think about every time we get in the water so we're prepared, just in case.
