I am so happy you have grown so much, and now have sponsors
No, just no, shove your sponsor. Sponsors are cancer, if you are doing sponsorships, congrats on joining the group of youtubers that don't care about their viewers, only money! And you interrupting your content for said garbage, NO!
Hey! I loved the video and the sponsor, and it's totally related to your content.
I'm a warship / nagivation lover, and knowing a game that has both make me so happy! Downloading now, let's sink some warships!!!
awesome you have sponsors!
I've already been playing since January
Meanwhile in an airliner:
Your seat floats, good luck.
Actually no. The ground escape slides function as life rafts when ditched. It is not designed for rough sea conitions, but the airframe (and the slide) will not have survived if the sea was not calm.
The probability of an orgnaised evacuation after ditching is low in commercial aeroplanes, as they are not built to withstand water impact in non-perfect sea conditions, and will likely roll and yaw fairly violently and disintegrate, which is the reason seat cushions and a variety of containers on board float and are fire resistant.
For various reasons, the escape slides generally do not carry survival supplies. The reasons include fire risk, impact puncture risk, supplies likely available either from the intact cabin or containers come loose from the wreckage, and expected quick rescue due to variety of locator and tracking beacons and likely airborne response.
This all comes down to what is the limiting factor for survival in an accident and the expected mode of failure, which are very different between aeroplanes and ships.
@@tonys1636 never in history was a fly by wire modern aircraft had total power and electrical failure
@@Roytulin dam what a nightmare
@@USSAnimeNCC- Not really a nightmare, safety features are designed around what limits survival. In air accidents this is the landing, and so the focus is to make you survive the landing. In ships, I believe (I am not certain) this is the evacuation and the lifeboat ride, and so lifeboats are well stocked and crew organisation training is emphasised.
As for what Tony is saying it doesn’t make sense to me either so I don’t know.
@@tonys1636 almost impossible to happen. Even sully with 2 engines gone still has 3 sources of power. RAT, batteries and APU. Besides your comment where you said "very rare" is not true at all because simply it never happened
Every lifeboat should have a tablet playing this video on repeat
"Let me talk to you about this videos sponsor"
With the world of warships ad
That would drive people crazy over time lol
This lifeboat is sponsored by world of warships-
Yeah so tht the people know what to do in the lifeboat
I'm more worried about who's in the life boat than what's in the lifeboat. A bunch of panicked people could waste through the supplies very quickly.
THIS EXACTLY
Thats why you have the life-polearms, to fend off anyone who tries to invade *YOUR* lifeboat
I think they put knockout drugs in them seasick pills.. i know i would
That's why you need to always travel with a giga Chad who will TAKE charge
Even worse, what if you get someone like me on the boat who wants to kill everyone in their sleep and say he was the only survivor simply for the joy of killing...

@@beatrix1120 They have both doors and escape hatches.
Ever since I saw Captain Philips I have been curios about what's the lifeboat like. Thanks for this small insight!
Cheers Tamas.
JeffHK also has made a video on the discussed topic
Someone mentioning Captain Philips is the first thing I expected to see when I opened the comment section 🤣🤣
It depends on the type of lifeboat. This is the enclosed type but there are lota that are not covered and in a way they are better if you are not rescued quickly , it makes it easier to collect rain water for drinking
@@CasualNavigation This video is depressing 🥲
>Me who dosn't even own a boat.
>Also me bindge watching his videos.
"Interesting."
Thanks foxtailedcritter. I hoped the content would be interesting for everyone rather than just those that own boats.
@@CasualNavigation It is amazing
just in case
I agree ! 😊
Well I doubt many of us here actually own any ships that have such grade of lifeboats!
But indeed they are really impressive. Then again you have to keep safe until rescue an amount of people that could fill a small village.
Great video. One addition: Make yourself familiar with the rescue signals, while you are in the liferaft and prior to use. Don't wait untill you see another vessle till you read the description, as time is of the essence.
Great addition Kai!
Thank you my guy :D
And don't even think of using a rocket/parachute flare if there are aircraft in the vicinity.
@@CasualNavigation modern warships is better than world of warships so please play it
That is actually a much better thing to occupy your time with than the fishing line.
I also assume that the fishing line, apart from morale, is there to be used in the rather unlikely event that you stumble on an island with fresh water and firewood.
They test the ones on cargo ships regularly. It’s on my bucket list to ride in one… but only when they’re testing them out safely at port!
Funnily enough it used to be that more people were killed testing lifeboats than were saved by them each year. No idea of the current figures but I wouldn't recommend going near one unless you really have to.
@@banquetable oh my! That’s crazy
They will not use the freefall mechanism when testing the boat. This is because it damages the boat and makes the chance of it breaking when falling bigger each time. You will just use the crane to lift it up and down. Riding a freefall lifeboat is however quite fun and kinda feels like a rollercoaster I did that on a training course once.
@@elien1902 Dropped it from stowed in HK once while in ballast - terrifying. A couple of moments of weightlessness followed by extreme deceleration with the bulkheads visibly flexing when we hit the water. Totally submerged and then popped up like a rubber duck in the bathtub. Lower on the davits if you have any sense of self-preservation.
@@banquetable I wouldn’t volunteer unless you had to😳There claustrophobic,bloody awful things.I used to work on Tankers and it was launched once a year in port.The second time it was under the control of a young mate on her first try and when it burst out of the water we careened off to port and nearly hit the wharf (much banter,lady drivers etc)Having said that the old ones dropped in fall’s were a lot more scary.I’m thankful that in 25 years on ships I never had to board one in a real situation 😅
It feels much better to know what's inside the large orange lads we see on the side of our floating queens of today. Thanks for another fantastic video Casual Navigation, ADHD makes it hard to concentrate for a while straight but I've managed to sit through this without sidetracking once.
Now you'll be prepared if you ever get lost at sea!
Thanks Super Trini Gamer. I've been trying to make them engaging throughout, so it's great to hear you were able to watch all the way through

I like how you focus your channel on any sort of boat and ship related topics instead of mostly Titanic videos, not that it's a bad thing but it's still pretty nice to see
always has been
Agreed. There's another ship channel I follow that makes a lot of Titanic videos and I find it overwhelming. We're all fascinated by that ship, but there are so many other wonderful ships and maritime discoveries for everyone to learn.
@@Lightdasher360 I totally agree. Doing too much of the same thing can burn you out. Just curious, is the channel you're referring to Historic Travels? Good channel but it is overwhelmingly Titanic videos. I am also subscribed to someone else who used to play a lot of games involving the Titanic and now he hates it because he did it so much. So yeah it is good to change things up a bit and there are so many other ships out there.
@@reminiscer15 I didn't want to call them out because I do otherwise enjoy the channel, he even made my favorite video on the Costa Concordia. But yup, Historic Travels. Imagine the once hugely impactful vessels that day to day people know nothing about like Wilhelm Gustloff, SS United States, SS Atlantic, etc.
@@Lightdasher360 Yep I agree and I like his channel too. I just hope he does other things too, he does but not enough. He did mention that he actually does want to venture on to other things that are not Titanic related. That would be good in order to have a goos variety and to prevent him from getting sick of it since it will happen eventually, happened to another youtube who used to love Titanic but now hates it and gets mad at anyone who brings it up which is sad to see happen.
His voice is so calming 😌
it's like the sea
bet it gets real scary when he gets angry

Better than the no effort trash channel bright side woth the loud voices
Sea sickness pills: "It only takes one person in a hot smelly boat (blowing chunks) and you trigger a chain reaction...." 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is totally true.
Sinking ship : "LOOK AT ME. I'M THE SUBMARINE NOW!"
@Muhammad Awais it's on eternal patrol~~
Let that sink in for a moment
Who knew that sentence would float in your mind
@Pulmenti Haha yeah instant karma. Wonder if that has ever happened.
No one got the Captain Philips reference :/
They got lifeboats so well stocked it almost sounds fun to try and survive in one. Just gotta make sure you get to both axes before anyone else, then it's your lifeboat.
Yeah xD
Survival most likely depends on who's with you on that boat. People are stupid.
And here you see why nobody is making it off that lifeboat:
If anyone is interested, the cat's eye reflector is what's called a retro reflector. You've seen them on road signs and car tail lights. Three flat planes intersecting at eight angles like that will ALWAYS send any light that hits them back on a parallel path. You'll notice that naval buoys all have one on top. They're not shiny because they don't need to be, but because of those reflectors, those tiny buoys have huge radar signatures. They show up like lighthouses on radar screens even though they might be barely visible from the bridge of a ship.
A channel called Technology Connections has a good video about them if you're interested.
This should be part of the safety announcement on cruise ships.
But you're not gonna see an online game sponsor inside safety announcement video.....
O stop it
If it were, no one would cruise anymore.
Without the ad.
I don't know about cruise ships, but when getting on a yacht, sailboat or whatever else floats, the skipper (or a designated proxy) is legally required to give a safety briefing before leaving the port.
The cruise ship’s dirty little secret: if the ship has listed to one side, only half of the lifeboats are useable.
depends on how huge thenlist is, but a ship by regulation should have enough lifeboats (liferafts not included) for everyone on one side, and enough for everyone on the other. so thats twice the capacity so that if one side isnt accesible due to fire or list, then everyone can still fit on life boats. other than that youve got the same idea fornlife rafts twice the capacity
Check out Costa Concordia
@@BIJOU167 case in point.
No
@@averyisaac284 are you a bot, or are you just doing this for the meme?
Part of my Marine Corps MOS was rescue off of carrier’s and this video offers good basic instructions for people to remember if they are in that situation. Believe me when I say hypothermia comes on quickly and being at sea in a lifeboat is still very precarious. I hope no one has to ever face this situation but if you do pay attention to the ship’s safety policy and know where the lifeboats are and how to deploy them. It’s just like airlines and knowing what to do in an emergency. Safe travels everyone.

I want to use a lifeboat as a personal vehicle so much upon looking at them, they're like surface submarines - they're so cool!
Excuse me, Vincent? Excuse me?
Yeah i’d sink a cruise ship if i could just to drive the lifeboat it’s so cute like a small orange sub 😊
You mean Turn a lifeboat into a car?
Top tip, don't get in one with a hangover.
I can only imagine how bad that would feel.
The buckets are multipurpose for that
Imagine to be in one lifeboat with Your wife and mistress... I rudder have a hangover
If I weren't drunk, the ship wouldn't have sunk.
You only get hangovers if you stop drinking
That was interesting and I did not realize that life boats carried so much equipment for survival. Thanks for sharing this.
It's worth mentioning that needing to abandon the ship is EXTREMELY rare in the passenger cruise industry. Emergencies of any kind are rare, and almost never mean the ship, itself is disabled or sinking.
Even if there is a reason to leave the ship there will be plenty of time and no reason to panic. The crew is well-trained and it will be orderly and well-organized. And if you study history, even a ship SINKING doesn't usually happen quickly. Plenty of ships in naval battles get completely disabled, even destroyed, but stay afloat or take hours or even days to sink.
As someone who worked in the cruise industry, received extensive emergency training, and was in charge of a muster station (the FIRST place you go if there's an emergency) and a lifeboat, this video was solid and spot-on. I enjoyed watching it.
those lifeboats are also just nice boats to use for leisure. Companies have to replace there lifeboats every x years but those old once are perfectly fine to use for fun. they are very reliable do to there design. (do be so nice as to repaint the top halve so it does not look like you are in a emergency)
That's actually a great idea, must be among the smaller vessels capable of handling open ocean.
@@user-lv7ph7hs7l plus it's almost impossible to sink them. However o do recommend to keep them in more smaller waters. They will otherwise Bob a lot.
@@sirBrouwer Yeah, still a fun idea, I imagine one kitted out like an RV on the inside with a kitchen and beds, maybe some solar panels on top, bigger fuel tanks and why not a mast and a sail. And yeah probably not wise to cross the Atlantic, but it's good to know it could survive. Maybe keep a bucket of orange paint so if I do end up drifting with a dead engine or whatever I can paint it orange ;)
Probably one of the most seamless ad segues I've ever witnessed. Well done sir
I'm so glad you finally get sponsors, I hope you make a lot of money with this TH-cam video.
Your illustrations are neat!! Congratulations for the awesome job!!
Cheers Stronger Aguiar
Just this morning at about 1:15 am, I finished reading _Unbroken_ which is a book about an Olympic runner turned Army Air Force guy (Louie Zamperini). Part of the book covers the time when his B-24 hit the water in WW2 and him and two others were lost at sea for 40+ days. It's things like _that_ happen, you know why these lifeboats have so much in them.
Thank you for the video! See you next month. :)
Read that book a few years ago. Simply incredible that that anyone can survive all that.
I'm pretty sure WW2 rescue times are not relevant in 2023

"eating raw fish would dehydrate you"
Every dehydrated starving movie protagonist: "mmh shark meat goes crunch crunch"

Cool never really thought what survival gear was in a typical lifeboat 👍
The bit about fishing line/tackle being in there just to keep them from being bored is what caught my interest.
U.S. Navy here.
Best part of lifeboat rations were the Non-filtered cigarettes and the Charms hard candy. We had to swap them out for fresh ones every so often, free smokes!
I always carried a couple packs of smokes and dip or chew. Always had a fully loaded Zippo on me. Also, at least one knife.
Would have been nice to seen the actual interior of one of these things.
Not to be rude or anything there are 2 different sets of mandated equipment for lifeboats and rafts under Servival of Life at Sea (SOLAS) one for inland and near shore and the other for further out and international voyages
Very true. I didn't cover the inland stuff
This type of thing, seeing what equipment certain kits have, is highly enjoyable to me. Probably part of why I love MREs.
I have always wondered what's in a lifeboat. Now I know and am glad to have been told. Thank you very much
Getting launched from a lifeboat is pretty scary when you hear the release mechanisme going off and then you feel like your in the air for 4 to 5 seconds that is something you do not want to experince when you must use it.
You wont fall 4 or 5 seconds though. More like 1 second, it may feel longer. They tend to place life boats quite low. Water is quite hard then you hit it, if you travel 4 or 5 seconds you would fall like 40 meters which would not be something that feels not "correct" it would be very painfull and people would propably brake bones.
@@foty8679 I think I made it very clear it is the feeling of being in the air for 4 or 5 seconds not the real amount of being in the air which would be closer to 1 or 2 seconds but being inside a fallboat can give you a warped sense of time.
I'd wonder if you could build something at a theme park, would probably make a great thrill ride!
@@Croz89 Trust me it is not a comfortable ride you will wait 2 to 4 sec before you go into a free fall then fall for about a 1 or 2 then you would going for a ride on a boat with a pretty loud engine. They have made these kind of platforms for training purposes and a lot of people who becomes officers or able man often need to go through it.
@@HDrobveelben Where else but a skydive or in space can you experience a true freefall drop? Add some more sturdy restraints if it's uncomfortable. The 2 to 4 sec wait would be all part of the experience! No need for an engine if it's not in open water either, just have a current pull it back to the lift tower.
What's inside a ships life boat?

No solar lamps incase the battery goes dead or one runs out of power?
how would you charge a solar lamp from inside a liferaft? If you look at it, you'll notice there's not really much place to stand outside.
@@jermainerace4156 solar panel outside and lamp inside
@@kaptein1247 There is no solar panel on that lifeboat.
@@jermainerace4156 oh really..... we were talking about adding one incase the battery goes dead
There should be a way to keep the lifeboats tethered together after they launch to make it easier for rescue crews to find everybody at once.
Well there is the line...
Rough seas can make tethering boats together very dangerous. The ropes can actually pull the cleats off the lifeboats leaving a potentially large hole in the side of the lifeboat. One of these with 40+ people is quite heavy and 2 tethered together will create huge dynamic forces....the sailors operating them will try and keep th3 other lifeboats in sight but radar can be used to locate boats
Good video, it has very useful information in it, even for someone like me who is trained on using one of these.
The advice on everyone taking the sea sickness tablets as a precaution is excellent.
My late step-dad was a member of the RNLI until his death.
Super-brave man.
I miss him.
jesus thats incredible!! they really thought of everything and then went all out!! you could nearly survive permanently in one of these things!! they seem incredible!!!

You got the grosser kind of food rations, the Datrex ones taste like coconut. The fishing kit is really just there to give people something to do so they won't sit there and fight with each other, no one could really catch anything with that stuff.
That’s a really good transition from the AD to the main presentation!
I always get so hyped when i see a new one of these videos idek why

I'm glad you've got a sponsor, every little helps in continuing the production of these life-saving and soothing videos. Shame you didn't say anything about the famous and historical Russian lifeboats though, I have heard they are the best in the world 😉
Wow, I’m amazed how much equipment they provide
I call the Hatchets and Knives! This is my boat now Dave!
Correct me if i am wrong but, those look like totally enclosed lifeboats, not partially
The top half is technically enclosed but not able to be underwater
Training in these TEMPSECs during the marine ‘Basic Safety Course’ and ‘Survival Craft Course’ was a real eye opener back in the 90’s. Quickly realized how cramped and uncomfortable it would be tossing around in one of these in rough seas if needed but hey you’d still be alive.
I've been in a couple emergencies: every single time there was at least one person that stepped up and helped in a capacity beyond what could be expected of strangers. There was panic & confusion but when the sh*t hits the fan...some people tense up while other relax. I'm in the latter camp. "The worst is already happening so RELAX...panicking will only make you more scared, more confused, more unaware." ❤
The one SAR case I actually went on was a disabled vsl at Frank’s Tract (a common enough event). There were already other vsls on scene rending aid.
Tug (the coxswain) tells us all to keep a sharp eye out, but there were a bunch of vsls off to our left and they kept my interest, not even sure why since they were working, when I saw a red flare fly off into the sky… I may not have been terribly Coastie about HOW I called it out (ehem, first case right) but I got Tug’s attention alright, I even was able to tell him it was the middle boat (from our perspective).
Ya, they work. Really well.
This was a very interesting video, as usual. One question though.
Do you know what the penalties are for companies trying to save cash and not properly equip the life boats as mandated by law? I have a feeling there's quite a few companies who would cheap out on this if they think they can get away with it. Maybe my perspective is skewed negatively based on US companies basically being immune to any real penalties.
Inspection and enforcement is done by Coast Guard and port authorities. If ships fail, I Imagine the fines are quite stiff and loss of port privileges.
There is a policing system called Port State Control, in which nations have the authority to inspect all foreign merchant vessels entering their territorial waters and check if they are compliant with relevant regulations. In a single PSC inspection, the most severe consequence for a foreign vessel failing to comply with all the rules applicable to her is a detention. You're not allowed to sail until you rectify all the deficiencies found during this inspection. You'll start burning cash if you don't solve this situation quick and that itself is quite a heavy punishment.
All the unsatisfying result from the inspections will go into public records. If you have a long rap sheet, you'll get more of this inspection than others. And also, if a vessel fails constantly on these PSC inspections, she might end up being rejected by the class society, which works as a notary who certifies the condition of vessels. Without their certification, a vessel won't be able to do international trades anymore.
Side note: US is not immune to this system and so are ships flying US flags. In fact, USCG is considered one of the leading agencies in the business.
@@blusafe1 Royal Caribbean once had to delay a departure because the Coast Guard made them replace outdated life jackets.
In the US if you fail a SOLA inspection, you are not allowed to sail. This is a big finical penalty.
I learned from another maritime channel (Chief Makoi) that not every ship gets inspected due to manpower limitations but if port authorities come aboard and something isn't up to code, the ship isn't going anywhere until it's fixed and stiff penalties will probably be applied. This would be especially true for safety/survival equipment (likely to always be checked during an inspection) and I don't think many companies would take that risk.
We had to memorize all of this back at the academy.
Such a smooth transition to/from the sponsor message
Your videos are a great training aid. Thanks for making them.
Thanks Tengu
Great video, so well presented and easy to follow. Got to Cox the lifeboat on my sea survival course many moons ago, all I can remember though is not to wrap the cord that releases it around your hand when you pull it (unless you want no fingers) and that it stank of diesel fumes 🤢. Thankfully I only did a year working at sea before moving to aviation.
Do lifeboats not have the trusty Reverse Osmosis Pump like the life rafts? Constantly pumping away on the ROP was always taught as the thing you got the most shocked survivor to do to keep them occupied.
I was about to mention that. Why no hand operated water maker?!
The lifeboat sounds a lot more fun than those horrendous cruise ships.
For such a calm safe man I find it interesting that world of warships would sponsor you.
You make me way more interested in ocean navigation than I have any right to be considering I am pretty sure I would get horrifically seasick minutes after stepping onto a boat. But I swear to god I will be the most knowledgable miserable useless leaking husk those mariners have ever seen.
Love your channel so much. You working on your captain's license at all?
I dub this life boat: "SS Up Crick Without a Paddle"
Studying to be a Deck Officer. Our professors play your videos every once in a while. Keep it up, love your stuff!
Very comforting that SO much equipment is available in the lifeboat... but realistically you'd only be aboard a lifeboat like this for a few hours.
Ships: have lifeboats with enough survival gear for days on the sea
Airplanes: …Your seat cushion can be used as a floatation aid….

So there is this thing.
It’s called a joke….

Man I was really hoping for this watching your last vid! Excellent
Cheers A407RAC. Glad you enjoyed this one.
@@CasualNavigation Thanks mate, absolutely loving it!
Definitely a like and share from me, I was watching your other vid yesterday and was thinking "man I wonder what's in that lifeboat"!
Keep up the amazing work, your production quality is second to none and you make everything you publish incredibly interesting to watch!
And in emergencies an Italian captain who has just accidentally fell into the lifeboat
This guy's videos can be life-saving
You will also find at most times, the ships cadet cleaning it or the occasional ab catching some sleep when not hiding in the machine shop
I love your channel may I ask how you are aware of all these in depth details video after video after video? Thank you as always for shining a light on such a unique world
I work in the shipping industry.
Thank you for sharing that and tyvm for anything you might have helped shipped that I purchased lol
This was an awesome video!!!
Thanks Mister 3Horn
I learned all of this 10 months ago during my basic safety training, but nearly forgot all of it. Currently im studying nautical sciences at elsfleth, if that says anything to you.Thank for sharing this video👍
They thought of just of every eventuality, very interesting video as per usual!!
I didn’t know what was inside a Lifeboat
Glad to help out
@@CasualNavigation Glad you helped him
Thanks
One inconsistency, maritime law only requires lifeboat capacity for 75% of passengers - 50% in traditional boats hanging off the side, 25% in inflatables on board, even today it’s rare for any ship to have 100%.
1:35 "When it's time to launch, the next thing you'll use is the painter."
Posing for a portrait is very relaxing, and it helps calm the stress of abandoning ship into a tiny boat.
I love your channel :)
It's so informative and you look so passionate about ships and stuff
More informative video, thank you.
Cheers Robyn
Does the lifeboat have a lifeboat in it by chance
I *REALLY* hope that I won't need to use this information, but I am glad that I have it now.
I was not expecting so much equipment on board a lifeboat
"What's inside a lifeboat?"
Life...?
More cowbell.
And now i am asking myself, how often the lifeboats are refilled and inspected. Sadly one thing i have learned in my life, is the fact that companies invest only the bare minimum of money in safety.
Everything is regularly checked as a part of the ship's planned maintenance - the crew will be right in there with the passengers so you can believe that it was maintenance that we did correctly 😁
@@banquetable Haha true 🤣
"..companies invest only the bare minimum of money in safety.." ..do you work for an Indonesian shipbreaker? Western companies invest as much as they reasonably can to avoid lawsuits.
Even aircraft sliderafts contain similar survival equipments, really good to know how standardisation makes it simple in case the worse happens
Seen these in Aberdeen and would love to buy one to convert into a camper boat. Has it's own motor and cockpit, almost impossible to sink and loads of room once the seats are taken out. It would make an ideal boat for going places no matter what the weather.
Very very very not true. Lifeboats are self righting, ONLY if they’re balanced correctly. They will not self right if the balance is not centred. They’re also generally rock side to side pretty easily. Even with the seats taken out, you still don’t have much space. They’re a reallyyyy tight squeeze if you’ve ever been in a fully loaded lifeboat
