coordinates and—if paired with a smartphone—viewing downloaded maps, the inReach SE is a feature- packed satellite communicator. Unlike satellite messengers, this water- proof little unit offers two-way text conversation and delivery confirma- tion, so you can ask for exactly the help you need—and know it’s on the way—rather than crossing your fingers and hoping for the best.
Snow Peak
Trek 700 Titanium [9]
www.snowpeak.com • $44.95
Nothing warms the body and cheers the spirit like a piping hot cuppa. The Trek 700’s ultralight titanium construction means you’ll hardly notice it in your kit, and the fold- ing handles and removable lid make it equally suited to sipping tea or heating in a smoky fire.
Watershed Ocoee [10]
www.drybags.com • $93
Just like the rest of your kit, the size and style of your bailout bag depends on personal preference as well as practicality. The Ocoee duffle eas- ily stows all of the items on these pages with room to spare, and its ZipDry closure is bombproof. The downside: the Ocoee’s larger size means you’ll have to store it between your legs rather than on your per- son. Clip a short tether to the duffle so you’ll still have it after a capsize.
SealLine Seal Pak [11]
www.cascadedesigns.com • $47.95
The Seal Pak’s compact size and waist-worn design make it an ideal choice for an unobtrusive ditch kit with space for all the essentials. The roll-top closure works just like a standard dry bag. As with any system, if it’s critical an item stays dry, use redundant waterproof protection.
Kokatat Tributary
Hydration System [12]
www.kokatat.com • $87
Featuring a removable water bladder, the Tributary is designed for on-wa- ter hydration, but this PFD-mounted pocket also works great as a mini- malist bug-out bag. The slim design isn’t waterproof and only leaves room for basic survival essentials, but its fit-it-and-forget-it convenience means the Tributary is always with you—even when your boat isn’t. VM
