I live in Florida and any ditching around the state brings up the good chance of running into alligators, sharks, bears, and yes panthers.<br> <br>Any suggestions on how to survive a ditching at sea or in swampy area with those nasty critters?(not to worried about bears and panthers)<br> <br>I have wondered about carrying a small firearm that could be fired underwater ( navy seal style). Maybe this is a little crazy but what might work? Any suggestions?<br> <br>Thanks, <br><br>
