Basic Self-Rescue Package

By Gromulus Ranked #52 - Life Jackets and Safety Gear April 18, 2010

This is a very good assembly of the basic self-rescue equipment you will need for kayaking. I purchased the Deluxe kit and while the deck bag and paddle leash are not absolutely necessary, they both make life easier when attempting self rescues as I learned in kayaking classes. The bag is a low profile design and keeps everything together on the bow deck and does not impede compass viewing or catch excess wind. The included signal mirror is an ACR model which is argueably the best of it's class. The bilge pump is a very good value and the NRS paddle float is also regarded as the best inflatable float on the market. It works well for this 215# paddler.
