A Matter of Survival: Life Raft Packs

A Matter of Survival: Life Raft Packs, explains and demonstrates the proper use of the contents of your life raft's coastal, SOLAS B, or SOLAS A survival equipment pack. This video also shows how a raft's survival equipment can be upgraded by moving to a higher grade pack or by having additional, personally selected items added. Through dramatizations and interviews with survivors that have used life rafts, survival equipment pack contents are explored according to the priorities of the Seven Steps of Survival. This video is divided into eight sections: • Recognition • Inventory • Shelter • Signals • Water • Food • Play • Summary This Video is useful to anyone who owns a life raft or is considering the purchase of a life raft. Produced by Ellen Frankenstein for the Alaska Marine Safety Education Association with funding provided by the U.S. Coast Guard.
