I have sowed a pocket to the back of my PFD to have items I will only need if I find myself on shore without my canoe. I have used this with the same contents for about 6 years. There is one book of matches, some fire helper (waxNcotten) and a space blanket.  I just checked them and the matches work and the space blanket is good.  I have been swimming with the jacket on several times.  Everything is in its own plastic bag wrapped with a rubber band wrapped around it and then everything in another bag.  I ware my PFD!
