The census of inhabitants: compass, whistle, .....- My thoughts have always been that anything carried should help me survive in the worst-case scenario of being in the sea, sans kayak. To that end, does anyone know the equipment that USAF Pararescue Jumpers carry? They are a group who deliberately go into wild seas, carrying minimal gear. As a kayaker, I could learn from their choice.
