Remember, when it comes to aircrew survival items, the rule of thumb is that "if its not on you or attached to you, you likely will not exit the airplane with it."


I have seen that advice time and time again in articles about pilot survival gear.  Flight suit pockets and/or a vest is the best way to go for the emergency / survival essentials.  The extra nice to have stuff can go in a separate pack if you want it.
