What I carry in my PFD pockets or a fanny pack ON me are things that I CAN'T live without and they include sun screen, bug spray, a small waterproof flashlight, a mirror, knife, a fruit bar, and a 6' nylon hank of string. In cold weather I have my hood inside my pfd. Having anything critical in my boat is not helpful if I'm not in my boat, too. I don't carry my VHF because if I come out of my boat I may well not be able to get back in with that much stuff hanging off of me. I have to trade one safety for another.
