The comment about disconnecting the gas can in an interesting one. How much gas would you have in your can while out in the middle of Strawberry? Enough for a whole day I would hope. How long had they been fishing before they went down? Was the can pretty full? I think I might try the "set the gas can in water trick" to see how well it floats with gas in it and then see if it will hold up a two hundered pound man fully clothed and wet for two hours. I questioned the walk to road from the ladders with my wife and some of the guys I fish with on regular basis at Strawberry and also the swimming against the wind after he helped the guy take off his boots. I am glad there are other people with the same questions as myself.
