It is a bag built out of buoyant material that is filled with flares, GPS, personal locator beacon (a sponsored item from Microwave Monolithics) this is similar to the EPIRB on the boat but made to carry personally. Other things in the ditch bag are water, powerbars, fishing gear, small medical kit (sponsored by Adventure Medical Kits), a can opener, knife, mirror, whistle, strobe light etc. The ditch bag is the first thing you grab if you have to jump into your life raft.
