No time to read the cluttered mess. But, if condoms, nylons & chocolate
aren't on the list, it's almost worthless.

Ditch bag, not bitch bag. Sheesh.

I made sure my oldest carried a "go bag" when traveling, especially in
Asia and Indonesia, Bali and a few other places where things can
change quickly. In both cars we carry extra clothes and gear, enough
for more than one person. My personal bag is a guitar case which lives
around my neck whenever I leave the house (mini travel guitar). In
there is all my prescriptions, some crackers and stuff, a Dean Markely
acoustic pickup, and a mini Marshall amp;)

You never know when you could end up behind enemy lines after you ditch. New
Jersey, for example.

Harry,
I have flares and a distress flag on board, enough life jackets to cover
anyone I might have onboard, including 5 children vests. I keep my vhs
in good working conditon, and that is all I need. Since I only boat on
an old dried up lake, I really don't need a ditch bag. I am curious was
to why you would need one, or even be thinking about a ditch bag. Since
you boat 15 minutes from your boat ramp, I would think a ditch bag would
just take up way to much space on your small CC.

The lesson I learned from "Castaway" is you should alway keep a
lighter in your pocket.


And don't forget "Wilson."

No, first wife made that comment appropriate. How'd you know what she
still is?

That's where my #1 belonged, or maybe still is.

What happens if it gets wet? salt water can rust and ruin the
mechanism.

Compass, spare GPS/VHF handheld, spare batteries, SOLAS flares/smoke,
basic first aid kit, water purifying tablets, water proof matches,
candle, firestarter, two flashlights, survival blankets and a mirror.

That's a good start for back country survival but it's important to
note that you cannot desalinate water with purification tablets, and
solar stills have a bad reputation. Therefore I would add bottled
water to the kit and some sort of high energy food like granola bars.
For use on a liferaft you can delete the matches, candle and
firestarter unless you have a reasonable chance of reaching land.

Water is in the First Aid kit - enough for two people, two days along
with protien bars - enough for a couple of days.

You would probably laugh at the First Aid kit, but when I explain the
presence of some of the items, it all seems to make sense and people
say - I never thought of that. :)

That's how I have room for all the other stuff.
