Minnesota Firearms Safety Hunter Education Practice Exam

If you fall into cold water while hunting from a boat, it is crucial to remember that keeping your clothing on to trap heat is the best course of action. This helps retain body heat and can increase your chances of surviving in cold water. Removing your clothing would lead to a rapid loss of body heat and potentially exacerbate the situation. Swimming to warm up might cause excessive exertion, leading to faster heat loss. Swimming fast to the shore might also result in more heat loss due to increased exertion. Therefore, the most effective strategy in this situation is to keep your clothing on to preserve body heat.
