Super tough sun screen

A spare cap with string to tie it on and a beak to protect your eyes

A bottle (stick) to apply disinfectant over cuts

A bottle of stuff to put on burns

Water bottles

A lanyard to keep the ditch bag close

A few cylume sticks

Six flares that floeat and smoke

One of those floating red/orange ribbons that are 25 ft long and you deploy

Hand held VHF radio

Personal EPIRB

A spare inflatable vest in case you did not have yours on

Remember . . . it has to fit into the bag

I would add extra rope too tie people together and or tie us to the boat if it will not sink, if it sinks the rope can be used to tie the coolers together.

Notice how I keep saying TOGETHER ................Stay TOGETHER .

There is a radio raffle going on ,on AAB [ ICOM 72 , new in the box] would work good in a ditch bag .

Al, dang GOOD call on the Picture ID.

How about a good flash light to signal with at night ? so we don't shoot the chopper with a flare.

I keep a laminated picture of my ex wife and copies of the last hundred alimony checks, if I feel like I won't make it I can chuckle to myself toward the end.

Les, you just HAVE to keep bringing that up, dontcha??? I told you before - no one died, so no harm done.

I was thinking maybe a knife would be good to have.

We also carry a satellite phone and a portable GPS in water-proof pouches in our ditchbag, not to mention a very well-equipped first aid kit.....the last item reflects my employer's preoccupation with what he learned while in pre-med, prior to his changing professions.
