Now I'm searching for 'no bounds'. ADHD I salute you.

I have work due in 4 hours and I'm watching this instead. What's wrong with me?

I bet you can’t procrastinate more than 24 hours in one day

What’s wrong with us man 😂

I doesn’t work like that.its the SOLAS company that chooses the life rafts for the vessel

@@dannypitalua4620 - *Yes, it does work like that.* SOLAS (who are *not* a company, btw) *don't* pick the raft for you.. you get to choose for yourself. Don't talk about shit you clearly know nothing about.

excellent point

I’ve thought these things were cool since I was a kid. I remember looking at a catalogue for them and really wanting one for camping. 🤣

No doubt meneither

Then you" found a radio"? Was it just floating buy? Or what?

@@Paul-ou1rx Funny you should ask.... page forward three weeks and said radio was broken (no longer charging) and sitting in the bin when (after about 7 beers) - thought "didn't that have a battery adapter?" - have a dig through the chart table and...a few duracells later threw it in the grab bag - totally forgot about it.

Ecxactly what I was thinking

Quite famously, my good friend, the utility of a life raft will increase the further _away_ from the beach you are. Whether that applies in every direction, I'm not sure. But the usefulness of any type of raft on solid land seems rather suspicious to me, at first glance. But I try to keep an open mind. :-)

That documentary brought me here

The Titanic was built in Belfast too

Why didn't he use the fishing line?

Lmaoo same finished binge watching all the episodes an this was in the recommended

594 days at sea

@@Oceansta he did

594 days on mars.

Agreed. Put bamboo stabilizers An modify it for fishing !

@@shadowdeslaar Bamboo? How does one use that to stabilize a boat?

Pretty wise statement. I have always recalled one of the rules of shipboard damage control, which was "never underestimate the amount of damage your vessel can take, and remain afloat"

Lol i was thinking the same thing, but is it him?

Why don't you ever want to be on a boat?

@@waseatenbyagrue I've actually been on a couple of boats. The ones on the lake or river were fine because I could see land and swim for safety if I had to but on the ocean??? 😳 I am a whole coward 😂 I can't swim that far and since I'm a chubby granny, I'd make great shark bait. There's something about all of the nothing out in the open ocean that terrifies me. The thought of it just scares me to deatt

@Gregg Sinini suspiciously its 1:12am here lol

Seagull sandwich

They should include emergency fishhooks and fishing wire or nets. You'd have to eat raw fish but at least you'd eat. And maybe add a desalination filter canteen.

There where not my friends ,,,,,

hahahahhahahaha u sick fc loool brooo

There is a gadget called "Quench" that turns seawater into drinking water and there are things like lasers that people have used improperly to bother pilots which is against the law but if you see a helicopter looking for you, a laser goes all the way into the sky. There are also alarms and things like Apple Watches. I watched a video of a pilot who crashed his small plane into the ocean but he had a cell phone and called for help.

I would think multiple alarms and GPS gadgets might be good. They are small but some of them will put out an alarm for 2 hours which could help if something comes nearby after you are weak.

Nowadays, there are solar fabrics, so you could put one on top and have power and there are rechargeable flashlights and things like that.

San Ansa literally here because just watched that video!

@@drdwgmd14 same

There is also a gadget called "Quench" that turns seawater into drinking water. It is good to have a few ways of getting water.

Yeah, try to do that in an emergency. Guess what time it would take.

Hahaha! I guess you'd have to store that raft on your T-top and wait for your boat to sink, since you're never going to heave that overboard. 😅 But jokes aside, in many developing countries, rafts made of used plastic bottles is a real thing.

Blobfish Gamer lmao!! It's amazing what you will watch at 4 am when you can't sleep lol... Thanks for the laugh...

I do but it is smaller than these vessels

Actually, they now typically have lithium ion batteries (mine are not D but C I believe), there's a spare set on the boat or in the grab bag. They're used because they don't lose power too quickly,but nonetheless, during the yearly check, they will be replaced if needed.

only if others are onboard. With a small ship like this, you likely wouldn't have anyone else to have to save.

misterfunnybones "The captain goes down with the ship." maybe when in the navy, but it is a misconception that a captain should go down with hes ship. A captain should be the last person leaving hes ship, when he is a professional and not a amature captain!. like for example in italy with that cruiseship the costa concordia, the captain was one of the first people to leave hes ship, 23 people died the captain was arrested for causing deaths by being reckless, and he was charged with leaving hes ship early, cause he wanted to drive the ship passed a village to show off, it struck a rock at 21:45 he left hes ship at 23:30, whilst the last liferaft left at 03:00. he got sentenced to 16 years prison.. the misconception comes from brave Navy captains that had their sinks sunk and would not leave befor the last of their crew was off/ in safety, and when a ship sinks it 80% of the time sinks fast and thus if your the last one left onboard looking for your crew, you will go down with the ship!. its not and never has been about in essence commiting suicide, either the captain was already dead when the ship sunk, and thus taking him with it, or a captain wanting to make sure all hes crew was safe, and off the boat, and than going under, only in hollywood movies would a captain go down with hes ship for honour (with one exception the japanse).

Easier said than done

S Dew that's very interesting. So that scene in Titanic is complete BS? Good short read, thanks.

misterfunnybones as a captain it's not required to go down with your ship but as a husband it's required to myself to take advantage of an opportunity become an independent self-reliance wonderful person I am if I leave and go with the ship goodbye wife you always told me throw our marriage you should learn to take advantage of your opportunities, as usual you're right! I don't need you anymore no more ,no more, no more

Children and women will be saved first. The rest will have to find another solution, like floating and swimming, or using things from the boat to stay afloat.

From what I have seen it's very very important

@@Nerfamus Sure, but "most important"?

But in Hollywood there is something called "profitable time distortion". It is a process whereby a "three hour tour" is turned into an immensely profitable sit-com, which made hundreds of millions of dollars, and actually, (in TV space-time), takes 15 years), or even more in case of syndication.

If you go down with the ship you will die, no matter what I would go on anything that could help me live in the sinking of a vessel.

There are two types of people, and the two comments above are representative of each. 🤣

Nevir202 humor died just a little in this thread. 🤷🏽‍♂️

wouter nikkels 1 with open plan living

No bathroom. I'll pass

yes, just google "solar water maker for liferafts"

Indeed there are. Better yet is one that can be operated manually. The smallest ones still produce about 20 liters a day and only weigh little over 1kg. Highly recommended for long offshore trips.

I was watching a video with a handheld gadget called "Quench" that turns seawater into drinking water.

TheArkMecha so during the next decade you live.

Lol I replied s year after you commented

i thought about that too, but the pontoons would have to be excessively large to be effective at keeping the boat afloat. You can always add a waterproof radio to the lifeboat or make a ditch bag that contains the radio and enough supplies to last a week.

wait u hav internet on board?

It Would Increase Weight, Sinking the Raft

They wouldn't be able to pull the ladder

I think some models have a rope ladder

mwillblade get a new life raft and enjoy

Then the product functioned as designed. As an industry lawyer, I can tell you the warranty pertains to the sticker only and can not be extended to the product it is adhered to or related parties. It is the standard boilerplate contract applied to parachutes, shark repellants and coffins.

You won't, but the owner might.

If you're talking about the author of Adrift, he survived that long in part was he was alone in an 8-man raft. His survival makes a good argument for having a raft with far more capacity than your passenger number.

Larry Johnston I know this is late, but you know when just that happened, you need to keep people’s hopes up. If moral decreases, you’ll end up having a ”fight, escape or perish” -situation in your hands. Decrease in moral can be deadly.

Larry Johnston If you have a million dollar ship why would these be your life boats! The boat would have acutely life boats😅

The boat is meaningless at this point. Your LIFE is on the line and that will over ride everything else. Moral consists of being hopeful of rescue. Knowing what to do, being prepared with the right equipment, being proactive and good leadership will keep people focused and believing they will be rescued.

It's morale.

Is there also dice to choose who shall be eaten first and some mustard for taste?

The raft is attached to the deck solely to activate the inflation system, not to prevent drifting. The way it works is if you launch it by hand, you can pull to release the gas manually. If the ship goes down too quickly and you don't have time to launch it, the hidrostatic release unit will automatically do it at a certain depth. Once released, the raft will float and pull the string, triggering the inflation which will increase the buoyancy and the tension will break a weak link set for this purpose, freeing the raft from the vessel and ascending to the surface.

@@moteroargentino7944 thank you!

sdimas73 yeah, was thinking the same, it can be of such a great use.

If in need of friends point the laser at planes "more people more fun!lol

Dominik Knapik tHe MoRE ThE mERriEr

I have said the same thing. Nowadays, a laser pointer and a GPS with alarm and a handheld gadget like "Quench" to turn seawater into drinking water. They have power bars that are extremely high calories for survival. One is called Mayday where a small bar has 3000 calories.

Yeah, I can see a family taking the liferaft to the beach and paddling around with the whole family.

Me too
