Survival Kit

I always carry flares, mirror, army ration biscuits, matches, space blanket
and personal radio in or on my PFD.  I paddle in very cold water in mostly
isolated locations.  On long trips I carry spares of everything but always
have a small kit in my PFD in case i tip out and lose the lot.

hope that helps
