Since I've been working in the field sort of speak as a BCU coach I get the chance to see what people carry in there kit. I find that many of the things people carry they do so every time they go out. In many cases it's a prepacked dry bag with little thought other then it's what someone like the BCU says they need. Much of this stuff never leaves the bag and the condition of things like flares are more then likely very poor. I also think that what you bring on a short trip and a longer trip can vary. So rather then just grabbing a bag in hopes that you've got everything I always try to stop and think do I need all of this and will I need something different for these condition I'll be in. JFF My list is a bit extensive and one thing I've found is this fiberglass patching stuff you soften and mold with your fingers that I got from West Marine or Boater's World, I don't recall which one. Has anyone had any experience with it?
