For about eight dollars Wal-Mart sells a pair of these bright orange 'ice pick grips' for pulling oneself up and onto the good ice after breaking through. They come with an idiot cord thats get strung up ones' sleeves for easy & quick access. Overton's sells one buckle and larger two buckle flotation belts that are similar to the old waterski belts. They are excellent for increasing one's floation whether used alone as designed or in addition to a pfd if your body type is a natural sinker. Plus, they are not as bulky and hot like a pfd when worn in the winter. The wider two-buckle belts do a real good job and come in white or safety yellow.
