Its meant for yachties who have to resort to life rafts but some of it could be useful to kayakers. Another book by the same company, I've seen but haven't read is "First Aid at Sea" by Douglas Justins & Colin Berry, 0-7136-4922-4. Theres a lot taught in various books - but a lot is missing too. Although the above are useful thought starters an additional approach is risk analysis / scenario planning in discussions with knowledgeable friends.
