[quote Troll]You left out wear a PFD and drag your own rope around trailing behind you.
Wearing a PFD will maybe keep your head from going under and help you float to be rescued. Or at least find you.
Dragging your own 50' rope already tied around your waist lets anyone nearby just run up and grab it to start helping. No need for them to have a rope and rely on them being able to toss it to you on the first try. Nope, they just stand 40' away from you back the way you came and pull you to safety.[/quote]
Good tips. I have a rope attached to my pfd, and a plastic whistle.
Don't forget ice-picks, and wear them around your neck, not sitting at the bottom of your bucket!
Spare clothes in case you need to change. Just be careful you don't lock yourself out of your vehicle when your mid-change! (old story)
