do this with breathable waders! I doubt the results would be the same as neoprene is naturally buoyant....would be great to see the difference!
I agree. We are going to do it but we’ll prob wait till summer lol
Some people have NO experience with waders. Shouldn't have to wait and hope that someone points this out in the comments section. Some also don't read the comments :-0
All waders leak after a time and there was no current in the pool. Definitely not cool to post this..
Awesome video man! I'm getting into kayak duck hunting and this has been on my mind. People tell me to leave my neoprene waders unstrapped to easily remove them in the water, but I'm going to leave them strapped up now! And I'm getting a wading belt. Thanks man, you might literally save a life with this video!
You’re welcome man. Glad it could help
Yes I want a MVM hat! GREAT video

I've had the experience of swimming in waders. Same thing you demonstrated happens
Good to know. Nice slow mo back flip by the way👍🏻
So I found you guys from a duck taxidermy video. I’ve been nervous about trying to put up a Teal. Very informative video explaining the process, I’m much less scared. Well about this video. Two days ago I just recounted a story to my friend about when I was young I asked my grandpa if I could use his waders to go duck hunting and he said ABSOLUTELY Not I’d drown if I went into deep water. I’ve always been overly cautious about hunting in waders ever since. I feel like a “jack wagon” for not trying this myself. Thanks for the videos. Keep it up! Also that’s a “DANDY” of a logo on your new hats.
Wow glad to hear that this channel is helping you! That’s what we want this channel to be about. That and entertainment. Thank you so much for the kind words! Thanks for watching!
Just subbed the other day. Found the patterning vids and they’re great. Always have worried about the what if. But like others have mentioned Im sure its the material. Looking forward to see the results of the others. Keep the videos coming in brother. 🤙🏼
Awesome! Thanks for the sub! We’re curious to find out ourselves too.
They have another brand of shotshells i have seen that wasnt tested in the patterning. I seen them today at academy monarch is the brand. If youll be doing more of those. They are a cheaper brand. 8.99 a box
I’ve heard of them but haven’t seen any of them in our area
My dad is always been paranoid about that and so I’m showing him this video
Good video!! I always thought you would drown in waders. That's crazy!
Yes. Same here!
I'm so glad for this video. My daughter is 21 and she asked for waders for Christmas. All I can do is think about her drowning if she loses her footing.
That was really surprising. You should do more videos like these! By the way, digging the new hats!
I will. If you have any ideas let us know! Thanks brotha!
Great video! I’ve always been told if ur fall down and ur waders fill up will drown because they would be to heavy.. could be possible I guess with the old canvas style waders.. but nice to know today’s neoprene wader are safe
Thanks man. Ya there is definitely variables but like you said at least it puts my mind at ease with the newer neoprene waders
Decent back flip in that getup, huh.
One can drown, regardless of how they are dressed. Think how many drown in the bathtub, many boating drownings happen at the boat dock/launch. I once worked a drowning in a roadside ditch. Neoprene waders provide some flotation, but are not a substitute for a PFD. If you travel in waters over 1 inch deep, you can drown. The thing to do if you step in a hole, back up, you know the depth of the water behind you. When wading unknown water, slow is safest, no long strides.
It takes very little extra weight to make you sink, any SCUBA diver can tell you that. Water inside one's boots adds no weight "in" the water, but the weight of clothing and gear(🎵pocket full of shells🎵) subtracts from your buoyancy once it is wet and no longer buoyant itself.
Have fun and live to tell about it.😉
Awesome video! That's good to know. Also I'm gonna need one of them hats.
Thanks man! Shoot me an email at midvalleymercenaries@gmail.com for the hats
You’ve got to remember though when it’s 20 degrees outside with 10 degree wind chill if you are alone and stay in the water too long you will get hypothermia
Absolutely
But those waders would definitely help
I have always wanted to know this. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
This made me feel more comfortable about going out by myself
Good to hear!
You still shouldn’t go by yourself lol
Nice vid
I always wondered!
Same here
Great video!! I was always wondering if you would sink with waders. Those hats are sick
Thanks! I’ve wondered it for a long time
My dad said he was with a person when he was very young and the guy he was with did drown in a muddy swamp. Not sure if he just could not swim at all or what happened but he swears by it.??
I would assume wearing all the extra hunting gear has a lot to do with it
Hit a stump in our boat leaving from a hunt my waders did the same,good vid.
Thanks
I really want a MVM hat. Thanks for the video
Check out the link in the description under mvm gear!
It's hip waders that are really dangerous. I know someone who drowned in a beaver pond with hip waders on. They instantly filled up with water and sank him straight to the bottom.
Great job. Just don't panic and get dried off before hypothermia sets in. Awesome hat!
L Franco haha! Truth
Hats look sick!
Thanks brotha
I lost my footing while steelhead fishing wearing breathable chest waders. They filled up so quick because I was facing up current (springtime when the runoff current is strong) on my belly in the river. Somehow I managed to cling on to a rock and a branch even though my body felt like it was 400 lbs. If I would have lost my grip then I would have been sent into a log jam. I feel blessed to have gotten out of there and I am for sure going to get some better fitting waders, and a strap for my mid section like someone mentioned in one of your other videos. Stay safe!
Glad to hear you’re ok! Ya I figured breathables wouldn’t be good for falling over in the river.
I should practice this technique lol I fall all the time in the water , great video
Lol! Thanks!
Great myth bust I thought your waders would definitely fill up with water! Sweet hats definitely wanting one!
I did too man! Crazy. If you want one shoot me an email at
Midvalleymercenaries@gmail.com
Great video.
What kind of frogg toggs are those???
Thanks. I don’t know, but I’ll get back to you when I find out. Very comfortable though
Good video all ways wondered if that was the case use waders on my boat
Thanks. If they’re not snug they will take on water
Just came across this video and wanted to put out a word of warning that this is NOT always the case with neoprene waders, as some have pointed out in other comments. Because you entered the water so quickly, the pressure of the water suctioned the wader material to your legs before water got down to your feet. This can happen but will not always happen, depending on a large variety of factors: falling upstream in a river, loosely fit waders creating a fold in the material for air to escape and water to enter, etc. I'd love to see a test where you fill the waders with water and then get in the deep end, maybe next summer along with the breathable wader test? Also, did you clarify if they were 3mm or 5mm waders in the video? The thicker the wader, the more buoyancy they will provide, which is another critical factor. Thanks for the video!
Agree with everything you said. We’re def gonna do another one this summer and more detail info for neo and breathables. It was 3.5 mm. I flipped in my kayak on the river in looser neoprene waders and it saved my bacon. Kept me afloat. How long would it keep me afloat I don’t know but didn’t wanna find out
That is awesome. Totally makes sense, but it would be different in breathable waders
It’s not. Watch my video on breathable waders
Now we can call you " Bob"! I would have started in the shallow end.lol
😂 chicken
Does it matter if you have a belt or not? Mine didn't come with a belt
No it doesn’t. I’ve tried it with and without. A lot of people say it does but I’ve actually tested it
Out of curiosity, have you search the web to find any horror stories of people drowning because of waders. I really enjoy your enthusiasm. Great video
A little bit haven’t really found info either here nor there.
Congrats! That back flip won gold in duck hunting olympics! Lol great vid, I had wondered if the waders would save me from drowning or kill me haha
Haha. Full send! Ya same here now we know
Hmmm. Duck hunting Olympics, now there's a video idea. 🤔🤔
High Prairie Sportsmen Where shall we hold them? Lol
Fowl Assassins good question haha.
Handsome myth buster😉
😬
Neoprene waders are definitely better for life saving. But canvas or those fishing waders that are thin will sink you instantly
Agree with that
Id be curious to see how goretex waders do! Great video, I give 6/10 on the backflip haha
Ya were gonna test out the goretex/breathables here soon! Still practicing the backflip 😂
Mid Valley Mercenaries awesome! I'll be looking for the video. Just found your channel a few weeks ago. You have great content! Keep up the good work!
Thanks bro!
What are Thomas exact waders by frogg togg because his have shell holes
They’re called Bull Toggs. He doesn’t recommend them. Only had 1 year and they’re falling apart
@@MidValleyMercenaries wow dude thanks for the honesty and fast response keep up the good work.
I know late comment, But this helped me. I hunt S. Florida. I though for sure I would sink like a rock. This helped. I may go to a pool and try this out in mine.
Glad to hear that. We always thought that too. But I think it’s a good idea that you will test it in yours. Some people say they are sinking but I’m thinking it may be breathable waders
I might just do that. I have 800g waders (a bit too think for s. florida) but they are neoprene and non-breathable. I may have to go a test it too. Thanks for the reply and keep it up.
No prob. Thanks!
i want a hat!!!! good to know. never knew that.
Email midvalleymercenaries@gmail.com if you’re interested in a hat.
Selling them for $20
but what happens if theres a big hole in the waders. say you puncture them falling out of the boat.. I wonder
Sam Pierson it doesn’t matter. It equalizes. I tested it with waders full of water no sinking. Only thing in my opinion would be facing undercurrent or rapids or getting hypothermia but the waders themselves are not gonna drown you they are buoyant
@@MidValleyMercenaries I will have to be super careful about that. I live near the nc coast and our tidal changes can drag some pretty intense currents through the flats.good info and thanks dude!
I wonder if it would float the same with breathable waders?
I didn’t even think of that...🤦🏻♂️ here’s to another backflip
I believe breatheables will be a different outcome
Totally agree
wouldn't mind getting one of the there new hats please!!!
Send me an email at midvalleymercenaries@gmail.com
This is is a pool representing duck hunting. Have you tried it I a river with current , a wade fishing environment?
We hunt in ponds with no current, but that is a great idea as far as environment for the next vid we are going to make. We trying to bring out every situation
I did that 10 years ago in my pool so I'd know what would happen if I did go under and you look like you have a life jacket on the only hard part is trying to swim because it float your feet to the surface
Yes very true
That hat though look tough l, how can I cop one?
Email midvalleymercenaries@gmail.com
I want one those bad ass hats
Check out www.duxwaterfowl.com
You missed the fact that every year people die in waders because you might float when theres no water in the bottom half but the second it starts to fill you will not float. Ive seen people fishing in rivers having to unbuckle and swim out of there waders because there being dragged under. My buddys old roommate was wearing a lifejacket in a river that requires pfds at all times and slipped in some current and into deep water the life jacket was being pulled under with him. He only lived because a strap released due to the counteracting forces and he was able to come to the surface with the lifejacket. Even in water thats not moving it is not by any means safe to tell people they will float because if there waders dont squeeze them tight or are not a size too small they will fill with water and they will pull you under 9/10 times.
Can you repeat this test with breathable waiters
Yes we plan on doing it next summer when it’s a little warmer
This isn’t always the result. I fell under once and couldn’t get my head above water and someone had to pull me up
Crazy man. Glad you’re okay
What kind of wader? What material?
I have neo wader and they will keep you afloat.Thanks for taking one for the team. Lol I want one of those hats send me one you have my info
Lol. Anything for you guys. I’ll email you Michael
Thanks bud
Hey Michael send me an email. Lost your address.
Midvalleymercenaries@gmail.com
Just sent it
👍🏼
Try rogers 3 in waders they will fill up
Titus, I need that hat! I’ll give you an 8 for the flip.
Actually it probably should be a 10 since I don’t think I can pull off a flip without waders.
😂 I honestly was scared to commit with those heavy boots lol. Thinks I do for RUclips🤦🏻♂️
If you want a hat email
Midvalleymercenaries@gmail.com
Thanks brother, really do enjoy this channel.
I really do appreciate that
“You not gonna drown” is bad statement out there ,the density in pool water and flowing water is very different .wading actually in river means flowing water you tripped once means it’s hard to stand in toe again . Wade is you can get in water body without getting wet and save you from freezing,hypothermia etc .Tips: never wade a water if you don’t feel safe,wading water at least two people or more than two will save and help each other.wade is not life saver but just keep you dry if you use properly( not like you won’t drown) it’s miss leading. I usually use wade stick to wade a new water or with friends near by,I am 165 pounds man and I always has my floating carbon quick pull life jacket that can handle 300 lb =my weight+ water inside wade if I get drown.use the product what it made for don’t assume what it not supposed to be.you will live only once . there are very small mistakes which you can’t realize but your loved ones 😭can .be safe wade out there.
Video starts at 1:45 (and ends at 2:20)
I want a hat !!!
I do surf fishing in California coast. I am pretty sure you will drown in the surf once you are dragged out from the surf.
Yep. With or without waders
Even if they were full of water you wouldn't sink. Water weighs the same as water, so no risk of sinking besides the weight of the waders.
What I’ve always been told is beach fishing with waders is dangerous. If you fall from an undertow the outgoing current will treat your waders like a parachute and drag you out on the beach floor, possibly drowning you.
I def could be believe that about the ocean
I'd love a hat!
Great vid btw
Thanks!
Email midvalleymercenaries@gmail.com if you want one it’s $20
yeah should've let the water completely fill the waders to your feet just to make it certain good vid though
The funeral I went to contradicts this video...
The problem clearly isnt when you are in the water. once you are in the water, you are as buoyant as you normally would be in the water. i mean you are n water, you are not going to be in 'more' water just because you have waders on. the issue is as you showed when you try to get out/when you try to jump up back on top of your kayak/etc. at that point you are then carrying the extra weight of the water that went into your waders with you at 8.3 lbs/gallon, and it impedes you being able to lift yourself back onto the kayak or pull yourself up. 5 gallons would be a extra 40+ lbs of weight.
Nice video.
But you need to make it Clear to your subscribers that the most important part to wearing waders is a tight fit. Without a proper fit they will leak and lead to a person drawing.
Pleased add this to the video!
Thank you
This video has been done 100 times and still I’ve never seen it done with breathable waders
I never watched one but even if I did I wanted to try it for myself. We’re gonna do one with breathables but I’ll be honest I’m not doing it till summer
I would love one of those hats. Great back flip I will be the Russian judge and give u a 7 on it lol.
Haha. Dude I only give myself a 6. Way too sideways lol. Email me at
Midvalleymercenaries@gmail.com and I’ll hook you up with one at cost
I feel this is a dangerous video that could create a false sense of security, it is unsafe to say all results will be the same as a controlled pool environment. I rolled my kayak and almost drowned in my neoprene waders, it took all I had to surface and get back to my kayak.
Cheap rubber waders are heavy and will weight you down.
Now try with breathables
Someone else said that. Why couldn’t have I thought of that beforehand? 🙄 here’s to another backflip
Yeah, I live in SoCal so I'll be getting breathable uninsulated waders. I know in the ocean I feel the buoyancy of the neoprene for sure!
I want a hat
Check the link in the description for the hats 👍🏼👍🏼
Do it with plastic waders. Neoprene floats. Also try getting back on a kayak.🤦♂️. You are going to kill so many people with this video.
I wonder how breathable waders would do
Were gonna test that too but we might wait till summer 😂
Mid Valley Mercenaries Yee might be Lil cold rn😂
You can swim, the "myth" comes from fishermen who can't.
This is not true my cousin actually drowned and died because of his waters while fishing
This is false do not go try this at home or listen to this. My cousin actually passed away because his waders filled up RIP cousin
