Bubba,

Here in Upstate South Carolina we get our share of hot weather too. The vest question, for me, depends on how far from the car I plan to fish. If it's only going to be a half mile or so, I stuff most of my fishing gear in my pockets and leave the rain gear and vest, etc. in the car. If I'm going to be a mile or more away, I bite the bullet and wear my vest with all my gear. It would take too long to walk back to the car and get whatever I might need, particularly the flask . 8T

You had better learn to be a happy camper. You only get one try at this campground and it's a real short camping season.
