As a beekeeper I am happy to know that the honey bee has a “part’ in your fishing world.😊 another behind the scenes look that most of us don’t even know about.
Thanks for showing us that and I Hope you never have to use that suit for you know what. Do you have a suit each in each boat or swap over before you go Out? Thanks again really enjoy 'hanging' out with you guys. An idea for a video : each crew member Mom, Dad, Mat and T are timed getting into their suits and the slowest has to cook the fastest persons favourite food for a week ❤
Its really great to see you guys taking survival so seriously. Most people can't understand what it's like to end up in the water wether it's Alaska or even off the oregon coast. The shock alone sucks the air out of your lungs and most guys die when they first enter the water and thier head is submerged and the shock causes them to inhale and they end up with a air way full of salt water. Without the survival suit that's something most people can't recover from. Sinking or a rollover is a couple of the worse case scenarios, but my biggest fear was a engine compartment fire . I'm sure as careful as you guys always are youve got smoke alarms in the engine room that hopefully are loud enough to hear anywhere on the boat. Do you have carbon monoxide alarms below deck and in the fish holds. The reason I ask I lost two very good friends that died in thier sleep from carbon monoxide from a faulty exhaust leak they didn't know about.
Great information. Check out the video at 21.05 and see if there’s a hole in the suit or if it’s reflective tape.😮 It looks like it could be under a flap.
Awesome episode you guys! Good thing to know how quick you can execute getting this on! This is interesting, thanks for sharing… but most of all stay safe out there!
Way to go guys, great demo and times getting into the suits. Let's be hopeful you never need to break them out.😊 Doesn't the Coast Guard still offer training for survival suits and life rafts? I like the way you started with the maintenance of your suit, it is very important. Next you should talk about life rafts and EPERBS.😊
This is the standard issue suit boats must provide for all souls onboard. I had a buddy (scuba guy) make me a custom suit out of a standard suit. Propper 5 finger gloves, critical! Just better fit than the one size fits all approach. Hands are critical departing a sinking boat and after.
Great to see the safety procedures. Could you show us a ‘man over board drill’ ? I’m a recreational sailor on a yacht and we do a man over drill each year. Even the least experienced of us know how to get the yacht back to where we believe the person went over. Gives us all confidence that in a worst case scenario and you’re the only one not swept over board, you can get back to where you’re crew mates are. The North Sea off the UK is fun, but you have to have the ducks in order, just in case.
I really respect you and love you at lest and this is alot of good and bad memories it still hurts especially the other people that I saved this subject hurts I hope you can understand we had to kick of our boots and walked miles is socks the suits we would not have had time to put on
We had gumby suits on our boat mom n me couldntswim dad could swim he bought all3 of us thesuits never had to use them but it was comfoting to know they were there and kept in good condition we did drills a few times a year to makeshure we wouldgit it right
Hi guys happy new year to everyone. After putting on the suit , do you put a face mask on? Or how do you stop water getting in where the face is open. Thanks guys Jason from Australia
Even with the suit and it's safety features, we still hear of multiple losses of life on fishing vessels. Does the Capitans of these vessels believe they can save their ship and delay the donning of these suits?
Im sorry but I have to say most of the time yull have rain gear and boots on so always practice with full fishing gear on you won't have time to undress you failed lol don't get mad just do it that way love Scott
Hoping of course that you never have to wear these wetsuits, congratulations on the times. A curiosity: why is it really necessary to take off your shoes if you wear them? The feet of the wetsuit seem very large. Taking off your shoes does not take much time, but you waste a few seconds having to pick them up and put them inside before closing the zip. Maybe you take off your shoes assuming you are wearing boots that probably won't fit?
Im not sure that I told you but two friends and I survived a boat sinking of the Washington coast we we outside nea bay 5 miles out took us 4 hours to swim in against a 6 miles a hour tide the coast gard didn't believe we survived but they found boat stuff 20 miles out we should have died but it was a elninoe year it went down in less than 5 minutes watter was flat till we got into the rocky shore we think it the haul split oh it's a much longer story than this short way I told you so I've been there i had suits in Alaska oh we were cold to say the lest thanks for letting me tell this to be we survived with out love ❤️ your family and videos Scott
One more thing the caption or the head of the coastguard had just did his yearly test in just 1 hour had to be gotten up Like I said we were called lyers but we were proven that boat went down where we said it sunk 5 miles from its called green bank and they told us radios would not come in where we sunk if you ever want to hear the story all of it let me know thanks guys
If i can say is if you even think you're going down put them on OK 99.9 percent of boats go down to fast ....to get it on its 13:19 s better to be prepared for it
Use wader patch or good ol shoe goo. $5 at most stores.Fred Meyer. It works very well and will dry in water. I fish river and carry it . Have had punctures while fishing even had the crotch rip out. Patched it. But let it dry like 2/2 hour. Holds well.
Sade fishing and God bless y'all
safety always,its important to have these drills,makes a good muscle memory and also make them fun.
good work guys,stay safe out there.
A+ on this one, you both was in the ballpark. The fact that you care will keep you alive.
As a beekeeper I am happy to know that the honey bee has a “part’ in your fishing world.😊 another behind the scenes look that most of us don’t even know about.
This was so interesting! Living on the Gitchigumi this should be standard on boats here as well.
I pray you never need to dawn them suits. Love you guys don't want to losse you. 😊
Bom dia muito obrigado pelo maravilhoso vídeo ficam todos bem e boas pescarias
Vancouver,WA. Informative video. Could you do a dockside video of the vessels safety equipment? Thanks.

Yep, just the refective tape. Double checked tho! Thanks!
Great subject for a video guys!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for your at lest showing this to everyone
great job guys everything saves your life
Awesome episode you guys! Good thing to know how quick you can execute getting this on! This is interesting, thanks for sharing… but most of all stay safe out there!
Safe fishing guys!
Excellent video! Thank God those exist, and Please God may they never have a need to use them!!🙏
Another part of this is where are they located in the boat! And how ez is the access from different areas of the boat

Great video guys ! How much does this suits cost? I am from Japan ! Thanks !
We had gumby suits on our boat mom n me couldntswim dad could swim he bought all3 of us thesuits never had to use them but it was comfoting to know they were there and kept in good condition we did drills a few times a year to makeshure we wouldgit it right
Good stuff guys. Gotta ask, what about T? lol. Safety first, safety last with a bunch of safe fishing in the middle!
T and Mom were out of town when we went through the suits. They will also have a refresher session before they come fishing!
Great Vid!
👏👏👏
Hi guys happy new year to everyone. After putting on the suit , do you put a face mask on? Or how do you stop water getting in where the face is open.
Thanks guys Jason from Australia
Thanks for the question Jason. The hood seals well around the face, tight enough it doesn't let much water in.
The hoodie was the main slow down from what I saw
How thick is the neoprene? I can attest to staying warm and dry as a long time scuba instructor in the Puget Sound waters who spent hours under water.
😊😊😊😊😊
I’m sure your required to have an EPIRB and life raft, is the bottom of the life raft insulated and do you have a go bag with flares and VHF?
Make sure mine is good to go I can’t swim that good and my ducky floaties popped❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
My best time was 35 seconds
Words of the Day : "Gumby Mittens" He was once a little green slab of clay! Today he's orange. 😎
It was good but practice with boots and full rain gear
Yes, you must practice exactly the same as your fishing! Good point ☝️
Even with the suit and it's safety features, we still hear of multiple losses of life on fishing vessels. Does the Capitans of these vessels believe they can save their ship and delay the donning of these suits?
Im sorry but I have to say most of the time yull have rain gear and boots on so always practice with full fishing gear on you won't have time to undress you failed lol don't get mad just do it that way love Scott
Bugout dry bag with shoes and toothpaste etc.
you wash up on a desert island
that toothpaste will be worth having
😋

And im a supporter of you or a helicopter
"just in case"....hoping you never ever need 'em.
Ok a a for effort oh and by the way I've saved people twice now all back when I was a boat fisherman caption but its good to do wance a month
Android device cameras are much more functional, than an I phone lol
Oh in 1 999off the cost 5 miles so I can tell much about survival
Train like you fight, when the poo hits the fan is not the time to wish you had practiced.
Use wader patch or good ol shoe goo. $5 at most stores.Fred Meyer. It works very well and will dry in water. I fish river and carry it . Have had punctures while fishing even had the crotch rip out. Patched it. But let it dry like 2/2 hour. Holds well.
Brrrrrr
