In this video, I walk you through all the safety gear and equipment I rely on after years of experience boating in all kinds of conditions. Whether you’re new to small boats or a seasoned boater looking to update your kit, this guide will help you stay prepared and safe on the water.

🔧 What I Cover:
• My go-to life jackets (PFDs)
• Emergency signaling devices
• First aid kits
• Anchors, tools, pre-departure checks
• Communication equipment (VHF radios, PLBs.)
• Weather considerations (apps I use)

✅ These are real-world tools I’ve tested over time—what works, what doesn’t, and what I never leave the dock without.
