G'Day, The following goes in my lifejacket:- epirb whistle compass strobe knife nose clips Only been in real trouble on one occasion and then it was the whistle that got three of us out of strife, we were lucky because the sound doesn't travel that far. I would like to carry flares, food and water but generally they seem too bulky. It might be useful to carry money and a dustbin bag but somehow I never seem to do this. Like you I'm curious to know what others carry on their jackets.
