We asked our Twitter followers what items they keep in their ditch kit. Here are some of their responses - what about you? What's in your ditch kit?

As a Civil Air Search & Rescue member in Canada, I say a signal mirror, a reflective orange blanket, & a water container.

Matches, food, and anything bright to get rescuers attention is also helpful.

sabre beacon [PLB], life raft, first aid kit, life jacket, flare gun and a smart straw

EPIRB, dried rations, fire starter kit, small shelter, duct tape, rope, first aid kit with antibiotics.
