Except for rolling sessions on the lake, I always have a roll of Gorilla tape in a zip-lock bag mainly for emergency repairs to my kayak's skin. Trust Antisocial Torrent Mp3 List. It leaks and gets wet, but that's not a problem with that tape. I also have a tow rope and a whistle in my pfd. In the cooler months, I add a space blanket and take a dry bag or dry box with a wool hat, waterproof matches, lighter, and waxed fire starter balls. If I'm headed out on big water, I also add a pump and floatation bags in my skin-on-frame. A spare paddle is always under the deck lines. For a water tight container I use an emptied plastic peanut butter (16oz size) jar.
I have one set up for fire. The jar is durable, can be used as a cup, will keep contents dry and protected. Its small enough to not be a hindrance but can hold a lot stuff. PJCB, matches, a couple fatwood sticks cut to fit, dryer lint, reg. Bic lighter, and a mag/fero bar) No pictures of the one I made, it's in another vehicle at the moment.
I think the jar will be tall enough to place one of them space blankets in it also. I didn't get to go kayaking last year because my wife hurt both shoulders pretty bad. So what's in my walmart orange water resistant box right now is a cold rim cup made of stainless.
A walmart match box (orange with a whistle and compass plus it cord. Oh I just now noticed it has a fire steel embed on one side. (never used one yet) A coil of 1/8 inch bungee cord, and a twist tie to hold it. Antacid peppermint flavor in a small baggie. Green garden wire on it's own cardboard cardboard. SOL brand folding knife with a whistle and a led light.
2 cigarettes for the damn blood sucking insects. A cord made to hold eye glasses, An elastic hair tie. 1 folded paper towel (for cleaning glasses.) 2 AA Batteries for my GPS. (1) 6 ft tape measure (for science ) One water thermometer that records temps at depths. 1 clip of some sort for fishing, but it's like a blanket pin.
( I found it on a beach ). A few sticks and shaving loose as a small kindling. The last thing has no place but here it is, 1 Old man In the Mountains Highway token, no longer of any use as a toll token anymore. Other items would be added if I was headed out on the water, like a BIC and that GPS, and a little more. There is a coiled plastic lanyard I added to clip it to the boat. I like the idea of an old Nalgene wide mouth bottle, and may add something like that to each yak between the hull and the outside of the seats. There is dead space there.
When I am out either guiding or just for myself on day trips I also have a dry bag strapped to the canoe with some essentials to change clothes, get a basic shelter and boil some water and have some food. On multi-day trips I have that kind of stuff anyways, since it is part of my camping gear. I find the kit that is on the person (in the pdf!) the most important.
People have lost their canoes and kayaks and no way to retrieve their gear. So what you have on you may be all you have to make due. I always carry some means to make fire (bic & ferro rod), a space blanket for shelter and signaling, a knife, some fishing gear and snare wire, some cordage, and a whistle. I also have my bear spray on my belt. I also used to carry my SPOT on my pfd, but now I switched to InReach and that unit is a little too big for my pfd pocket.:-(. I just ordered a Fishing PFD so i would have plenty of space for a 'I got dumped and my boat floated away' kit. Tarp, first aid,flare and smoke, whistle,space blanket, fire starting kit, light, map and compass, life straw ( may have to find a dedicated attachment for it).
Some kind of energy bars. That covers food,water, shelter, warmth and signaling.
Map and compass in case it looks like I can walk out. If I am really in the boonies I may make a small bag I can attach to the vest across my shoulders.
Not big just to get a few more items ashore with me. Something like this 6x9x2.5'. I have yet to see a properly closed dry bag leak in a non-whitewater situation. Also can't imagine said dry bag allowing a canoe to sink (non-whitewater) when attached to a thwart - unless you're also shipping really heavy items like a large Dutch oven or a car battery. Nearly all my gear is in dry bags and/or hard waterproof containers, and all is attached to the boat, but can be quickly removed. That which is not in containers will fall out easily and sink on its own.
When doing serous whitewater, I almost always have extra flotation added to the canoe. But I have never seen a decent canoe with even the slightest amount of flotation just sink to the bottom when swamped in flat water.
Seems like they always want to roll upside down and float just at the surface. That would be different, of course, if heavy items such as batteries, motors, or kitchen sinks are attached. Truly - if your dry storage is attached to the canoe or kayak and you are not hauling a ship's anchor, it is not likely to sink out of sight.unless it's getting trashed in big whitewater.and in that case, extra flotation should be there anyway. Now, whether you can re-acquire your boat and gear in reasonable time after getting dumped.that's another thing altogether. That depends on your terrain and the character of your river. Or in the case of dumping on a large lake or the ocean, that depends on the wind and what you have done to avoid being separated from your boat. A kit attached to your body has to be small enough to not interfere with paddling or swimming, but should have essentials to get you by until you can be reunited with the seat of your boat.
Those items are going to be different, depending on your location and activity. What is important to a sea kayaker isn't going to be the same for a river cruiser. When I'm canoe tripping, especially solo, I generally keep a knife, a bandanna, multiple fire starting items, mini waterproof FAK, and an energy snack on my person.
My PFD has a drinking water bladder pouch attached, and the PFD is always attached to me. On day trips, I will have spare warm clothing in a dry bag - attached to the canoe. Longer trips will have other camp gear and food in dry bags and a small waterproof barrel.

Unable To Find The Wizard101 Patch Client there. I primarily want something that is small and that is always in the boat regardless. Most of my paddles are out and back to the cottage on a small/medium sized inland lake.
On longer trips and on bigger water (Great Lakes) my gear is more comprehensive anyway. All of this discussion is excellent as I really want a multi layered approach where I can adapt my gear to the situation. Most of my trips do not involve needing a stove for example as in an emergency I can paddle to someone's dock and call someone on my phone. I won't need to make a meal in that situation. But when I head out to the ADK and paddle in the wilderness I want to have the safety of being able to stay safe, warm, and fed in case something goes wrong. Thanks for your post. Thanks for the post and the discussion and for linking to my related post on a bail out kit.
I like your idea of outfitting your watercraft with some standard safety gear. It reminds me of the ammo box my granddad kept in the fishing boat at the lake. Filled with repair stuff and what not saved the day when we sheared a pin or had other problems. A tough and totally waterproof container is a must I think if it is to stay on the boat. Nalgene could work, but I find them a little small and hard to get into without dumping out the whole thing. Maybe one of those hard cases like pelican or a knockoff would be worth considering. I picture like a 6x3x10 inch box.
I don't know what you are preparing for in these. Sounds like maybe a day trip goes bad scenario. So think about what might go wrong. Capsize, cold wet people, lost or damaged gear, getting lost, separated party, coming back late after dark.
I would have some simple first aid stuff, repair items, wire, zip ties, cordage, duct tape. Any replacement parts for ones that could get lost like a clevis pin or a drain plug or the like.
Maybe some 5 min epoxy. Then some stuff to help injured or stressed people, like a space blanket (I would go for the heavy duty reusable one which has many uses) energy bar, flash light or light sticks, maybe chemical hand warmers, fire making stuff. Some signal stuff like whistle and mirror. Also some cash and a list of emergency phone numbers is good. We all keep numbers on our phones, but what if that phone is gone?
I also add a content list with a pencil to my kits and make a note if I use something so it can be restocked. Add an extra page for misc notes. I like the idea of testing them out. Maybe ask the users to try out some items to get familiar, like use the blanket at a lunch stop, or 'test' the energy bar or make a fire with the kit. Anything to get hands on familiarity helps. Just some thoughts on the subject. I always carry my canoe PSK around my waist.
I want something on me in case I loose my canoe. My Canoe PSK comes in at just over 2 lbs. Click to expand. I have an ABC Knife attached to my PFD. I have multiple cotton balls sealed in wax with a ferro rod to make a fire. I will add an energy bar this year as well, thanks to another poster. I have a dry bag behind the seat with base layer wool clothes, and rain jacket and pants.
I also have a manual and electric bilge pump behind the seat. In the front bulkhead I have a complete set of lightweight clothes, microfiber towel, leather gloves, food and cookset. Under the front bulkhead I have two 500ml water bottles (Collapsable) snacks, camera, and paddling gloves.
Attached to the bow is a painter line coiled along the deck and placed in the same position for easy grabbing in event of wet exit, to retain the boat. I have also trained to remember to hang on to the boat as a priority item over all else.
In the rear bulkhead, I have a hammock, tarp, water filtration, 50 feet of rope, first aid, machete, and small chair. In seven years of paddling this has failed to go with me twice, and both times I regretted the choice needing the gear, but never took it, cause it was just a short outing. Needless to say, I believe in being prepared, and all this gear weighs less than 30 pounds.
Click to expand. I use a roll top SealLine waterproof fanny pack that isn't even made any more. The old ones had a big mesh front pocket that could swallow daily gear (snacks) w/out having to open up the waterproof compartment each time. The new ones do not have the mesh pockets. I wear either around my waist, bandolier style (when on land), or buckled around a thwart/deck beam - depending on conditions and risk. It pretty much just replaces my chest rig when dealing with water.
Worn around like a bandolier with my PSK in it. It holds my snacks for the day, comms, maps, orientation stuff, PSK, etc. It is the black thing at the bottom of this pic. I can swim with it easily.
