What type of personal flotation device (PFD) is most recommended when hunting on rough or remote waters?

  1. Type I

  2. Type II

  3. Type III

  4. Type IV

The correct answer is: Type I

A Type I personal flotation device (PFD) is most recommended when hunting on rough or remote waters because it is designed for "open, rough or remote water, where quick rescue is unlikely" (Source USCG Boating Safety Division). Type I PFDs provide the most buoyancy and are often more durable compared to other types of PFDs. This makes them ideal for use in rough or remote waters where a hunter may be exposed to strong currents, rough waves, or other challenging conditions. Type II, III, and IV PFDs are better suited for calmer waters and may not provide enough buoyancy in rough or remote waters.
