Standard Equipment
Posted by: mrmannerz on Dec-05-12 5:02 PM (EST)

I paddle mostly flat water but I always have a throw bag in the canoe and it is clipped to a thwart for easy access. Yes, I can throw it. As the other guy said earlier, it is more useful than a big knife. If there is anyone else around when I am out, I am likely the most experienced, probably the only one with any rescue training (and probably the only one wearing a PFD). When I'm done for the day, I just clip it to my pfd...it never gets forgotten.
