 Where to keep an Emergency bag?

I sewed an emergency survival kit to the lower back of my PFD. It contains:
space blanket
matches
garbage bags
aluminim foil - for gathering rain water
signal mirrow
parachute chord
small first aid kit

I realize that sewing something on a PFD is a violation of CG rules but I
showed this to a Coast Guard helicopter search pilot and he handed it back
to me saying "as long as  it keeps you alive till I can find you"
