All About Survival Kit & First Aid

Along with your life jacket, there are other items that should always be taken out on the water as you never know when an emergency may arise. You need a first aid kit to deal with medical mishaps, as well as a repair kit, which should include items such as scissors, needle and thread, knife, pliers, patches and duct tape. You should also take along matches, a lighter, flares, a watch, a compass, a flashlight, a whistle, a signal mirror, a small pump or something to bail water out of the canoe or kayak and a cord or rope to use as a tow line.Make sure you know where everything is, so you don't have to fumble for items in the dark. And don't forget one of the most important survival items, food and water.
