Emergency grab bag you hope you never have to use

The Rapidditch Express Bag is a buoyant survival gear bag designed to hold all essential equipment necessary if you have to abandon ship.

Unlike other ditch bags, says distributor Ocean Safety, the Rapidditch Express can be mounted on a bulkhead for instant access using a soft cloth bracket and Velcro/snap fasteners. It also has a tether strap to allow hands-free use in the water.

The main pocket can hold everything from first aid kits to distress flares, strobe lights, VHF radios and space blankets, all obtainable from Ocean Safety, and easily organised using the internal straps and pouches.

An external side pocket is designed for an EPIRB. The bag's closed cell construction gives both buoyancy and protection. The RRP is £59.95 inc VAT.
