Do you belong to any organisation that needs speakers for their monthly meetings? Or are there any aviation related events (e.g. fly-in breakfasts) at which you could arrange a guest speaker? Maybe some of the SAR Techs from Comox, or members of the local SAR or CASARA chapter would be willing to put up a display or give a talk on the importance of being prepared?

My experience was that most pilots will balk at carrying a lot of extra "stuff" that they hope they never have to use, but a small survival kit that will fit in their flight bag (or even better, in their shirt pocket) is something that won't add to their W&B calculations. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
