A ditch bag is one of the best complements to your abandon ship / life raft equipment—it’s where you keep the extra gear you’ll want immediately if you ever have to leave the boat. In this video we walk through a practical ditch bag checklist, including common essentials like flares, signaling devices, emergency blankets, EPIRB, VHF radio, and a medical kit—plus the “forgotten” items most people miss (medications, eyeglasses, passports/copies of licenses, seasick bags, batteries, food rations, and water).
We also cover the difference between a coastal vs offshore ditch bag, why organization matters (ziplocks / compartments), and a big one: don’t exceed your ditch bag’s flotation capacity—packing too much can keep it from floating when you need it most.
