I've been waiting for this video longer than the rations on a life raft are rated for!
A ''Quoit'' is named after the game where you throw an iron hoop to try and get it over a pole in the ground (Like the game of Horse-shoes)
I've seen torches with sun panels and hand generators in them.
It would be useful to reduce the battery consumption problem.
Used to own a couple of them ages ago.
Was too young to have the strength to do it fast enough, though.
No clue what happened to them…
The Quoit is not only a rope ring game, quite ancient but the old English word Quoit literally means "to throw" or "
to cover "
Wouldn't a walki talky or a tiny radio communication device be a good edition?
And maybe in the reflectors add mini solar panels and hock them to a battery charger on the inside and/or for the raft night light
Cool video man! Keep up the great work
I was really hoping some sort of a solar distillery would be a part of the kit. Awesome videos though!
This will save life.

I've noticed one thing that all life rafts seem to be missing (& almost all lifeboats--with only the largest with the greatest endurance having it)--heads. Bathrooms or toilets to those not familiar with the term. You talk about sea sickness--what about "accidents". Somehow I don't think you want to hang out the opening & do your business, all over where someone would have to grab a hold of to clime in.
Would be fun to live in one of those for a few weeks, alone or with a partner.
Hi there, can do an explanation on how a Packinox exchanger works? thank you.
Do the survival packs on life rafts not still include fluorescent dye marker? That always seemed like one of the best ways to be spotted from the air to me.
0:49 - What sort of conditions did you find youself getting seasick? Are we talking as "low" as beaufort 8? Just curious since I always imagined that mariners do not be victims of seasickness.
2:38 - Could it be named after the old game, quoits? AMSA refers to them as "heaving line with rescue quoit".
I never really measured at what point I got seasick. There are a lot of ways a boat can move i.e. slow long rolling, fast rolling, pitching etc. so its hard to define. Also, a big ship will not move the same way a small yacht does in the same weather conditions. Small yachts feel every ripple, a massive ship will only start to roll once the weather gets a bit more 'interesting'.
Quoits - I also read this, but I have no idea if its related (although I guess so).
I got seasick while going snorkling on an amateur trip. Being in the water is just fine. The waves were on a level that was taxing for swimming long periods, but in no way problematic or dangerous to a moderately experienced swimmer. On the small boat, it was horror. The guide even told us to go into the water quickly to avoid getting seasick. So for small vessels, I think even what would be considered a very calm ocean would make at least one person sick on such a small raft. And if one person pukes, more will follow. Learned that the hard way when drinking. :D
The tin opener seems like a big threat to the raft. Freezing cold, huge waves rocking back and forth. Better not drop that inside the raft or risk a puncture.
07:40 what's the white stripe on the reflector for. great wee series
If they would put or build the new, pretty cheap and plastic, pliable solar panels in to the roof you could charge up depleted batteries. Also they should have either an EPIRB ( Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon ) or a satellite phone or both and the solar panels could charge those up. And if you really want to be seen on RADAR you could have a small Helium tank to charge up a balloon to carry that metallic coated cardboard or plastic RADAR reflector up on a useful very lite cord or may be a fishing line to 50 or 100 feet. Then it could be “targeted “ for even over the horizon. But if they just put the solar panels on the roof and have a EPIRB or a SAT Phone you could call for help and give to them your location using GPS from the phone or a app device for it. You can get cheap EPIRBs for any where from $200 to $800 I think and they send an automated signal to satellites always looking for them. And the solar panel could be had for $100 to $200 or may be cheaper. So it would not make the life raft too much more expensive. Just some ideas I get while my mind wanders in boring classes at school.
This rafts are folded I don't think a solar panel would survive that
@@diogodmsr9521
YES they would to survived that be caused do I haved 2 of soft panels I do used for charging of my phone and my tablet when am I sleeping out ined our back of fields ined summers and they do come ined the mails as rolled uped and too folded even and do you store them as that too even. I am at 14 and I liked to stay ined ours tent ined to summers a lot. BUT ifed does that to worry you thened just you cand keep it rolled uped ined to a hard plastic fishing poles tube. Thened just you would hanged it out secured to the roof out side whened is the sun shined. And too the solar panels do they haved at now are very efficient too even and cand re-charged stuff very fastly. And ifed do they keept SAT phones ined secured waters proofed cans and too a EPIRB thened you haved may of be a 90% of chances to geted found very of fast.
- Thank you for sended a messaged to me of your concerned.
Wondered the same thing. You even don't need the panel if you have a suitable battery. Remember that you don't have to send all the time. Send a message out twice an hour and a small battery from a remote control can serve you for days.
@@somebod8703
True mostly but EPIRBs do send continuously so cand they get detection fromed over flying satellites. But for SAT phone yes, ecxepted that SAT phones do all so used satellites and not all ways do they connected right away. It would to be better to haved rechargeable battery and solar panels I thjnk.
If course, wont survive long enough without playing candy crush
Okay maybe I’m just missing something obvious but can’t they put some sort of gps tracker on life rafts? Those work off satellites right? So as long as there aren’t any huge obstructions like ml
Mountains(rare at sea) it would be able to report its location. Right? Can someone who understands this stuff explain this to me? Do they have them and it wasn’t mentioned?
GPS is a one way thing. The satellites emit a signal a GPS reciever catches on and can work out its current location. You cant transmit that location back to the satellites.
To do that, you would need a modem that connects to a communication satellite. A satellite telephone for example. Those are rather expensive and dont work always flawlessly, also require a lot of juice. It could be done, maybe bigger lifeboats have something like this, but at current costs its nothing you would find on smaller rafts.
But if a big ship sinks that process normally takes hours and there should be enough time to transmit an SOS along with the position so people know the approximate position to look for.
Do you have bait for the tackle? I remember reading Unbroken, and they talked about how they had fishing equipment but no bait. Just curious.
The fishing equipment is added as more of a morale thing anyways, the idea being that keeping busy with something like fishing will make you able to hold on longer. I don’t think bait is required but it maybe included depending on the manufacturer. And also it would be pretty easy to improvise some kind of bait for things like Mackerel with something like a piece of shiny plastic or foil from the rations or something
@@poortal4992 The source of food is more of a morale thing than a source of food?
There are artificial lures, which do not require any bait. They typically either look like a plastic fish or a bent, shiny metal plate, which swirls around when pulled through the water. I would guess they put something similar on the raft, most likely the second version, given it's small and light.
@@themikeroberts you should look up off shore fishing. threre way less fish in the sea than you think. And not all fish are edible, especially raw, and you need to know how to handle and prepare the different kinds of fish. you dont want to make your situation worse by eating something wrong.
Aren’t floating sun powered see water distillery’s also a good idea? Seen it on “shouldn’t be alive” the guy survived a long time in a life raft.
Do the smoke canisters float or must you hold them?
They float and you shouldn't hold them because they get hot and may damage the raft if put down. Set it off and throw outside the raft so it'll float in the water and let out a huge amount of smoke.
@@bunnywarren Thanks for that informative reply.
Read the SAS handbook for distilling drinking water.
06:09
it's falling slowly not because of gravity, but due to the parachutes.
True. Should have made that more clear. Hence the 'parachute flares' name.
good
?????
The German word for "koit" literally translates to "rescue ring".
Reflective helium ball could be handy in raft. I don't kow how much aluminium foil is needed to get reflection to common radar.
I can think of dozens of better uses of space and weight than carrying a compressed helium tank around.
The thing is, that RADAR reflector already serves that purpose and better than a balloon would, due to it being a retroreflector. Thus, it will reflect RADAR directly back to the source, making you more visible.
The balloon on the other hand is a convex surface and may scatter the RADAR any which way.
Plus the aforementioned bit about the RADAR reflector not requiring helium to use.
Puncture repair kit?
There should also be a compass in life rafts.
I'm surprised there is a fishing hook inside inflatable life rafts and no patch to patch up a tear in the inflatable tube that someone would surely make with the fishing hook....
True. I suppose the need for food outweighs the risk. Good point though.
@@savree-3d Fishing is unlikely to be successful but keeps morale up by giving people something to do and focus on. Without any decent bait the chance of catching something is slim and eating raw fish may make some people feel worse.
@@bunnywarren Lures exist buddy
How would you secure the radar reflectors to the raft without damaging it?
The real one is circle or have round corner peaks
@8:20 could someone please elaborate on how to use a sponge to gather fresh water?
Perhaps as light rain sticks to the canopy, you could wipe it up with the sponge.
…Love the beer opener, btw
It gives hope. Some day I may get a beer - just wait patiently.
The quoit is colloquially known as a 'lifesaver.' Thus, the name of the candy.
a pair of binoculars and a copy of 438 Days: An Extraordinary True Story of Survival at Sea would be useful!
Waited for the addition for a hook till the last second. Now I have nothing to say of value. Mayb a portable airhorn thingy you see at parades.
I wonder why it doesn't have the kit to vaporize sea water to fresh water. Isn't it suppose to be essential?
Yeah was thinking the same
Desalination is inefficient at the best of times. Marine desalination plants are large, fuel-hungry apparatuses that aren't suitable for lifeboat use. Some life rafts do carry small solar stills so you can produce a bit of freshwater, but it's not going to be nearly enough by itself, so other methods (stored water and raincatchers) will be needed.
@@yetanother9127 Big, energy-hungry desalination plants use reverse osmosis to separate water from brine. Thermal (evaporation-condensation) desalination is altogether different --- possible in hot locations, I suppose, but I can't imagine it would generate high volumes of fresh (distilled) water.
Survival equipment is always a balance between utility, weight, space, and cost. A water-maker would have great utility, but it is big, expensive, and heavy. That means given a certain amount of weight or space capacity, you would have to give up potentially a lot of other gear. Or, just as important, given a certain amount of money to spend on survival supplies (that will probably never be used), fewer people will purchase one.
Life of Pi seems accurate enough on this.
One Orange Doughnut Ring to save them all, One Orange Doughnut Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the ocean rescue them.
I've been awake for Two days. I'm sorry.
Four cords to bind them (to other rafts)
I wonder if they'll ever switch to solar or dynamo torches. Bit silly that none of the light is renewable.
you didn't mention storm oil.
what is storm oil?
yeah, you cant just casually drop that without additional info! youtube comment etiquette 101!)
It was removed as a requirement in 83'.
Hahahsha the Bowie
Why is there no WHF in a life raft?
You mean UHF radio? Most offshore boats/ships will have EPIRBS, which can be brought onto the raft. They emit an emergency signal that can be used to locate you. They are also very expensive.
The few people who wat5ch this video will likely be the people who will be trusted and survive on a Liftraft.
No water-maker? like the one used by the record breaking survivor

@@chad1755 No dude, it's a semi-inflatable thing made of (mostly) rubber. It's light, small and cheap... and essential.
@@jorehir You’re thinking of Solar Stills. That’s the real name as opposed to water-makers which could be confusing to some people.
And a last cheese doodle to use as bait...
Translation: torch is flashlight.
Do not fire all flares at once. Be judicicious.
Translation: there's no good dirt, so you can't just rub some dirt in it.
first
20km? That's useless information.... I need to know that range in American football fields or Olympic swimming pools
I can't believe that life rafts, from your last video, and the equipment in this video is so rubbish.
I've never wanted to go out on a boat for the most part, maybe in Morton bay but that's about it. Now I am definitely not going outside the bay after watching these 2 videos. 👍
I mean the likelihood of sinking is very low. And as long as the captains not an idiot you shouldn’t sink. (99% of the time)
Survival equipment is always a balance between utility, weight, space, and cost. Equipment that you will likely never use need to be cost effective and easy to store for them to be practical enough to be carried onboard. It doesn't matter how good your raft is -- if you have no space for it on board, or can't afford one, its useless.
Hey man, could you please respond to my email that I send to you a few weeks ago? I need some guidance and I think that you could possibly assist me.
