What do you carry in your emergency kit? Whether you are hiking or boating, being prepared is the key to a fun and safe adventure. Petty Officer 2nd Class Jonathan Kreske and Petty Officer 3rd Class Ed Bizorik, aviation survival technicians at Air Station Kodiak, Alaska, work in the AST shop to prepare emergency medical gear and supplies they will use to respond during search and rescue missions. Basic emergency medical supplies, ways to communicate and signal for help, and options to stay warm and dry are just a few elements that are important to include in your own gear.
