Yep....I've been doing that for a few years now and it works great (doesn't melt any equipment, either) Another thing I do with it is I keep half a sheet in the bottom of waders at all times...it prevents what I call "The stinky wader syndrome", which of course Betty wouldn't know about....women's waders don't get stinky like ours do...right By the way, i prefer Makers Mark or Knob Creek for my bourbon, but grandpa or his pet turkey are welcome any time
