Safety first! When you plan to go out Kayaking, Touring or Fishing, plan ahead for potential problems. Possible Safety List Includes: - LifeVest (Wear it!) - Trip plan. Let people know where you are going and when you should be back. - Know how to right a capsized kayak. Practice near a beach and with help near by and practice getting back into the boat. - Footwear. Think Warm, Wet, Slippery and Rocky... - Visability. Wear bright colors and or carry a flag on a tall pole. - Lites, flashlite? - 1st Aid Kit - Cell Phone - GPS - Space blanket (emergency warmth) - Flares, Smoke, Die pack - Repair Kit, Spare Parts - Bailer or bilge pump - Internal flotation bags in case the hull floods due to a removed hatch. - Spare paddle (Extendable paddle / Orange for safety uses) - Fanny Pack (Can keep cell phone, blanket, flares and GPS with you) |
