If you are flying over inhospitable terrain where you could be in danger if you landed unexpectedly, there are a few other safety items you should have with you. These include: water, energy bars, flashlight, a compass that doesn’t require batteries, first aid kit, laser flare, warm clothes, a tree kit or pruning shears depending on the terrain, dental floss to lower to a rescue team and retrieve rope with, a leather-man, hook knife, spare batteries for radio and GPS unit, and a camera both for documenting the event and for signaling rescuers with the flashbulb.
