Lisa, I'm confused... can you clear up a question for me? If the book is
going to be tucked away in your survival kit, than my assumption is that
you will refer to it in a survival scenario where you need a refresher
on making shelters, first aid, signaling, etc.  To get to the book and
be able to read it, you'll already be on land.  So, the woodland book
might be appropriate.  If your intention is to have it available while
actually on the water either still in or hanging on to your kayak, then
how will you get to and read it, and what type of content are you
looking for?  If you were in a yacht or a sailboat, then I'd understand
a bit better, but from a kayak..... I'm confused.
