    Got some real clever engineers that design these things, few things I never would have thought of, like the seasickness pills and the radar reflector.

    keep that bubble wrap it could be insulation and keep someone warm especially in cold waters. just a thought for it's uses. keeping everything and considering what you can use it for could be the difference in a life and death situation. Great Video Excellent Survival to apply land or sea.

    The thermal alu blancet on the bottom/floor is mainly for radar detection as it will reflect radarsignlas to be detected on radar!

    I liked it, I was in the Navy in the first gulf war era, and I always wondered what these rafts looked like, what was in them, etc.. i had heard there was a handgun, but seeing this, I doubt it now, but still cool to see.. wondered why there was never really any life raft training for us squids, but still cool, thnx for vid..

    Although most people get picked up qiuck that doesn't obviate the need for worst case scenario preparedness. The water rations are meager. Rain water should be used first as much as possible

    Guys. excellent video...Hope you do not mind viewers input and responses/comments to the video you so graciously shared with us...One) The sound of the rattling was very distracting and nerve provoking/wracking..Okay, not important...we are talking about Survival..I guess that is nitpicking. TWO) I am VERY surprised that with all those survival items and precautionary items... AND grateful for them indeed..THEY SKIMPED on water and Food! Surely there is enough area therea and can take the weight,..THAT I find quite unwise and am alarmed to say the least that survival nourishment was/is depleted right from the start! Enlighten me if I have made a wrongful observation. Whomever devised all this is a wise and precautionary genius. So, please don't get me wrong. TYSM for the video!
    I am trying to picture this LIFERAFT in a raging sea storm...enormous waves and treacherous currents/turbulence.THE PERFECT STORM...And somehow I believe it would make it ...saving everyone on board! Regards to the channel and providers.

      From what I have seen in other videos, this is the minimum requirements as determined by SOLAS. I have seen in other videos a ditch bag or abandoned ship bag that contains additional supplies including food and water. Those food rations look rather small, but they are calorie dense and are used to sustain life until rescue occurs. Obviously no one could survive forever on those ration bars but they are very compact but surprisingly heavy. I'm not sure if you caught it, but there were two bags full of water pouches. Even though we would expect to drink more water in our daily lives, this is a survivable amount, and at sea any water is better than none. :)

    Why can't the tubes be covered in a material that solidifies when it comes into contact with water? To prevent it from punctures.

      @inkbold8511 2 роки тому +1

      Solid material will get break up more easily in the storms when waves come crashing on the raft. Hence they use these airtube as it's more flexible and allows it to withstand crushing forces of sea waves.

      all life rafts have food on board, basically energy cookies, which have everything that is necessary for survival, without causing thirst and without taking up much space, most of the space of the rations is occupied by packs of water, without fresh water a persondies quickly. military type mre are too heavy and bulky.

      Food isn't an issue, water is. You can easily go without food for months. They do put some food bars in though, I've heard they are designed to give you nutrients without making you thirsty.
