So what do you have in your vest?
I was taking a few shots of my radio for the other thread and popped off these pics with the vest and the standard stuff I carry.
Here's the vest... Here it is with the stuff out of the pockets.... So what I had on and in my vest was: Small leatherman well oiled. Icom M88 radio with extension speaker mic. Combination whistle, waterproof lightstick, flashing emergency beacon, flashlight. Ultralight aluminum lobster guage (homemade, always on there). Carabiner compass. Spyderco lockblade knife. Skyblazer flare. Mini Mag LED flashlight. Most of the stuff there adds no real weight to speak of, some of it is just convenient, some of it would come in handy if I ever ended up out in the water alone for an extended period. I've always had this what happens if I get separated from my yak thing. Which probably comes from all my hours fishing small boats offshore. I don't see myself as a safety nut, just safe.At any rate most of the stuff is relatively cheap. for instance the whistle is a modded home depot product that I just shortened it to fit in the pocket. It has several functions blinking red, solid red, flashlight etc... Since it meets the whistle requirement as well it's worth carrying around. So that's my vest gear. What do you guys carry?
