Know how to self rescue turn over your yak if you get flipped. Carry signal device and do get a handheld radio. Some people may say it's overkill and you probably won't need them 99 percent of the time but when you need it that 1 percent it needs to be 100 percent ready.

VHF for sure. I have never even used mine to transmit, but it's great to have the comms and I got one with Bluetooth so I can chat with my wife. The first time I was out with it my son's school called to tell me he wasn't feeling well, so it's already been useful. Leash it to yourself though, because it won't be any good to you if you get seperated from it.
