Actually, Eric was posting it for me. I had posed the question on our
local kayak club list, and hadn't thought about posting it here. Eric
was helping me out.

When I was doing longer open water crossings I liked to carry the
parachute flare. Based on the theory that if it's not on you, you
don't have it, I carried one in the back pocket of my Serratus, so
that I had it if seperated from the boat.

Oooh, look. Eric's trolling for the impossible again. Let's not

Thanks for pointing that out; I should have figured it from the nature
of the question. I'm curious why he thinks it's illegal to carry a
parachute flare and why he would want to carry one on his back. That
sure would make layback rolls painful! Maybe he needs it for emergency
illumination when using his non-existent camera? ;-)
