A gator camo foam swimmer's noodle with swirly drab green-black-gray camouflage colors disguised so's the fish don't see you wearing it, makes an excellent el cheapo pfd worn as a waist belt and doubles as a quick access storage spot for storing fishing lures by sticking the hooks into the foam noodle.
Have you seen one of these camouflage swim noodles that cost $4.49? Probably not because it is camouflaged!
Worn somewhat tightly around the waist it could keep you vertically afloat in a position similar to treading water all the long night long until the sun finally rises, and the first light of morning arrives, when some early morning boater/fisherman notices you and pulls you aboard. It will move up to a position under your arm pits and arms and stay there permanently if threaded and knotted with a good quality 5/6 or 3/8" line, and tied with a bowline knot.
Another good feature is that a noodle swim belt makes it EASY to swim along, moving forward through the water, something a pfd does NOT do too good.
