Hi, everybody --

I am putting together a survival kit to stow aboard my kayak -- I figure
thinking about and preparing for emergencies is a good way to keep them
from happening in the first place.  

What are your recommendations for the contents a survival kit used in
daytrip/overnight camp context?  

Also, I've been looking for a small survival handbook to tuck into the
kit, but it seems to me most of the ones I find on Amazon deal with
woodland or desert survival.  Is there a good reference out there on sea
survival for people in very small boats?

Lisa W. 

PS.  After three years of renting/borrowing, I bought a P&H Quest.  I've
taken it out five times, and I'm thrilled with it.  It handles slopola
(confused waves, channel currents) better than any boat I've paddled.
