Flare Canister or Grab Bag/pack

The Canister

Description:  Bag or Flare canister, is generally kept close to the cockpit of a sailing yacht so that it can be grabbed in emergency, It might be close to the life-raft, It is generally water tight so that the flares are protected from the elements and any water or food stuffs are preserved.

 
This type of canister is used to hold items like flares or survival gear that is grabbed at the last moment before abandoning ship – It could contain anything that the serious mariner would like to have, some food supplies, batteries for a torch, signaling devices, high energy chocolate. Depending where a sailor sails his “Grab bag contents may change”
