Thanks again. I just added a large signal mirror, 55gal polypropylene, & a 35gal plastic garbage bags to my life jacket.

I am thinking in terms of getting a rifle ammo pouch similar to one that I already own and a much smaller version of what you've gotten, and place some additional items in it. This is something that can be worn on my belt full time, just like my mag pouch and flashlight scabbard. On a boat, you want equipment to hug you close so that it doesn't "catch" on doorways (watertight doors), etc.

Thanks for refocusing my attention where it is needed.
