That whole "what if I got stuck in the water for a long time" has always been at the back of my mind. It is certainly doable in bp/w, but I think it would be a problem if I was in the water so long I had to sleep. In a jacket, sleeping would be totally doable I think. I'm hoping that good skills, my large SMB, whistle, mirror, and nautilus lifeline radio will prevent that from being something I ever get to answer.
It's always interesting to me to watch folks try to "make their point" by comparing apples to oranges in these threads. Without fail you will see someone compare a "puff of air" in a bp/w to a fully inflated jacket bc squeezing the breath out of a person. But you will never see someone compare a fully inflated jacket bc to a fully inflated bp/w at the surface as if somehow it takes a fully inflated jacket bc to float you at the surface but it only takes a puff of air in a bp/w to do the same thing.
