Dress properly, stay dry to prevent hypothermia
Lt. Jimmy Wagers, state coordinator of the hunter and boater education program for the S.C. Department of Natural Resources (DNR), said that once a person gets wet, he or she risks hypothermia, whether from a fall into the river while fishing, from splash and spray while rafting, from excessive perspiration on a cold day, from leaky waders while duck hunting or from hiking in rain or snow.
