Stuff your PFD

I am often asked what I have in the pockets and on my PFD.

• Kokata PFD
• Princeton Tec – Aqua Strobe
• Princeton Tec – Impact II hand held flashlight
• Princeton Tec – EOS headlamp
• An extra pair of prescription glasses with a Chums float and strap
• whistle
• mirror
• dye marker
• Kestrel 1000 wind meeter, I plan on upgrading to the 3500 model
• watch
• Lendel Key
• Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen – Sport
• chap stick with an SPF
• Cliff bar – Shot Blocks
• GU Energy Gels
• Power Bar Gels
• Lance Nekot Cookies

That is alot of stuff and it all fits!  My PFD kit covers my needs for safety, sun protection, and hunger pains as I paddle in my local Florida waters.  If I was back home in Pittsburgh I would have a Primanti’s sandwich stuffed in a pocket. LOL. And it is no coincidence that my PFD is Black and Gold. Go Steelers!
