I have been in the process of getting all my gear for the boat. While not all of these things are "ditch bag items" they are part of my safety gear. I do plan to make a post with some links to some of the places where I have purchased some of my gear, due to the fact that most of it is commercial stuff.
a type II epirb 406mhz with buit in gps and strobe - costly but sends help directly to your position unlike most plb or certain other types of epirb, so you have to read closely what you are buying.
type I life vests with Acr strobes, mirrors, and whistles attached to each
waterproof handheld radio
50 mile signal kit - includes - 3 pains wessex smokes,3 parachute flares, 6 flares
6 regular 12 ga. flares.
2 dye packs
48 hr. first aid kit - based on no help within 48hrs.
drift sock
emergency flashlights
emergency food and water for 3 days for 4 people.
sunscreen
extra lengths of high quality rope
handheld compass
2 wool blankets sealed in dry pouch
This is just some of the stuff, but I will make a full post later and have some links to places where I purchased some of the products I am using.
