Back-ups to back-ups
My wife never bargained for this. Kayaking only came later, after we'd wed. Because of that I've always felt a special need to play it safe. With a wife and kids, I'm not allowed to die. So I put a lot of stock in redundancy--I want at least three reliable rescues--in case something goes wrong. First is a drysuit, second is a roll. Because that isn't 100%, my go-to back-up rescue is a paddle float roll, virtually impossible to miss. If all else fails, there's VHF and flares, my last line of defense, to help ensure that Daddy walks back through that door.
