An option I recently discovered is a small PFD backpack made by Lotus. I use it with my Rio Grande, but it would probably fit most PFD's with comparable clip points. I think it was designed to carry a hydration system, but I use it for my survival kit, radio and if it's winter, a thermos. It is pretty compact. I keep stuff in a small bag attached to a cord which I can use to pull the whole mess out. I also keep a couple flares and other stuff in a naglene bottle wrapped in closed-cell foam in the knee tube in my boat. -Patrick *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Mon Dec 13 1999 - 10:57:18 PST
