Karen countered, "... self rescues should be practiced, and practiced in the worst conditions you can safely practice in, but may be best reserved for times dedicated to practice rather than a paddling trip." Don't dispute that, and wasn't really thinking of doing a lot of longer trips during the winter months, anyway, I guess. And I see her point, but I was really addressing cooling down and not self rescues; roto-cooling works for me. Hand-radiating also works. I guess I'd have to wonder if people who don't have a reasonably effective roll should be doing long transits in the winter, anyway --- a roll not being the energy waster that a paddlefloat re-entry obviously can become.
