This seems to be the only workin solution - pouch attached to either back or front of PFD (should work in front as well if it's a side-zippered PFD and bag isn't too fat to prevent paddle float re-entry). First Aid kit in such a bag should be a smaller version of normal FirstAid kit (of course, bigger kit is to be carried too, in cargo area). Aluminum foil for water - good suggestion, I like it.
