Funny idea: > The problem > is that storage in the pfd pockets is somewhat limited. Radio, > flares, compass, mirror, flashlight..... Anybody found a smart > solution? Use a rucksack. Gregory got some really good ones ... No, without smiling. I was thinking of an small rucksack-option. Once I attached a little bag on the backside of my rescuing west (no pfd, but hand-activated inflating). There is enough place, I carry a throw line and afterwrds a waterbag. I´m thinking on a option for VHF (roped so you can get it fast), or a praddle (ian proctor single hand paddle), or some other equipment. It have to be fixed high, nearby the shoulders, you must be able to get it fast but it also have to fixed strong. Not easy, but I´m thinking about and someday ... I will tell you that day I got the solution. But what I´ve realised is a sprayskirt with a integrated bag in the front area. I sew a 2nd peace of stuff and close it with velcro, there I place some knife or cell phone. Zoelzer make some sprayskirts with a waterproof zipper, quite expensive but you could store there almost everything. Yes, the sprayskirt is a place with no other use than to provide you from getting a sunburn or windy/wet legs. just some thoughts bye Jochen *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
