I believed that for years, and based everything on that premise, but sadly Covid messed up the blood flow to my right leg especially, so I now get cold feet. My legs might be warm, I'm not cold, but my feet...

 

The overtrousers come off as I get into the sleeping bag.

 

I struggle getting waders on full stop!

I'll worry about that when it happens lol

Can get into my waders with the sallopettes on but not done it during battle, my waders have quite a high boots so not ideal.

Its the night time bites that are the worst for me, during the day I keep the waders next to the rods so I just slip my trainers off and step into them, but at night I keep them in front of my bedchair so I can slip them on as I get out of bed. Usually if it's a slow take I can get them on without issue but when it's a one toner, getting them on totally leave my mind and I'm running down over stones in my socks, then find myself walking back up the bank with rod in hand trying to get them from the bivvy and put them on. Can be a right nightmare 🤣🤣

I seen you can buy the Nash wader hold open thing now, separate without the waders - gonna buy a pair of those - should help.  Hate putting waders on, lost fish and fallen over plenty of times 🤣
