[@hannahimperial7063]

As a fellow seafarer, I can only imagine the amount of time and effort that went into filming this. What I appreciated the most was the fact that you actually dragged all the lifeboat items to the table tennis room and assembled some of them while giving brief explanation of their usage. As always, kudos to you Jeff!

[@evergriven7402]

not to mention you made it memorable by the upbeat way of presentation of what is a negative situation (having to use a lifeboat for real ). I thought it was on par with commercial style training videos .. GREAT Video! Lastly I had no idea that radar reflector gives a Radar cross section of a 900 foot ship That can only be very helpful

The emergency food is made INTENTIONALLY to not taste very good, so that you won't eat too much of it all at once.

i once went on a small cruise ship, Halifax to New York, sank mid-way. i was 14 at the time, but i was and still is a wise person, i was luckily one of the first persons to reach the lifeboat, i immediatly told someone near the safety pins to take these pins off and hop in. i hopped in and quickly opened the manual near the driver seat. it was a smaller lifeboat, 20 capacity but mostly the same concept but there were two industrial sized jerrycans on board. soon, 17 people were inside, i looked outside and did'nt see anyone else trying to get on board, i asked someone sitting next to the door to confirm and noone was coming. as the ship was sinking relatively quickly we mostly all decided not to take chances, closed the hatches and i pulled the cord. i drove a small distance away from the wreck and started assigning tasks. one person distributing the jumpsuits, another the sea sickness pills,two people were the lookout, one person made sure morale is stable, we made sure food lasted for a good while, with two emergency portions per day, we calculated we would be able to hold for a week, another person was resting and shift with me at the driver position, the person in question was a retired fisherman, he used to be the nightime driver for his crew and shift with the captain. in the first day we managed to rescue two more survivors, and done the same routine, jumpsuits and the pills, the next day we recovered a person in bad shape, advanced hypothermia, unconscious. luckily, one person on board was a nurse, she took care of him while he was regaining consciousness. we did'nt have really disgusting food, we had Emergency MREs instead they were half decent to be honnest. after 3 days, i shifted with the other driver and helped put some more fuel in the tank before resting. suddenly, our night driver yelled "do you guys hear that?" we went silent, trying to make out the noise, we figured it was a chopper. i quickly grabed the flares with one of our lookouts and launched them. about 10 minutes later, someone knocked on our hatch, i oppened it and we evacuated the people that we needed to get out first. then when the coast guard guy came back down he put an IR beacon on top of the lifeboat, it took 2 more helis to get all of us out, i was one of the last ones to leave.

[@bike_rider-k2h]

Fritz Quick thinking. Good job.

[@shananagans5]

Very cool. I always wondered what the inside of those lifeboats looked like. I wonder why they don't include a hand pumped water maker. Drinkable water is something you can never have to much of. The little hand pump units aren't exactly efficient but in a survival situation, the ability to make 4 or 5 liters of fresh water in an hour or so could be a life saver.

[@Valmontst]

With those convert sea water into drinkable water?

[@robertbilling6266]

I did the lifeboat training in Norway before I was allowed to work on Frigg field installing computers back in the early 80s. This brings back some memories.

[@svensweven4400]

They should add solar penals and a electric motor when they run out of diesel.

[@Tatusiek_1]

SVENSWEVEN yes and compass too

[@demonikfunk]

eggrollsoup there is a compass

[@whatsup7202]

Maybe on calm lake, but we're talking ocean here. Electric motors suck at sea... not enough torque to handle conditions. You would also need a large bank of marine batteries and numerous weather/shock-proof solar panels... the expense and weight! Better-off spending that money on a spare fuel motor and fuel.

[@celtiberian]

Too much cost and weight. Better to add more diesel.

[@jebise1126]

@ what's up electric motors have far greater torque than diesel have. and no they dont such at seas many boats will use electric motors since they are far superior in power to weight ratio and you can stick them anywhere you want. and dont forget submarines. and dont forget special solar powered catamarans than went around the world just fine but yes batteries are still problematic. having small solar panel just to power some electronics is good idea but you would need really lots of those to power any meaningful motor. actually more than you have space for.

Great video! How do people go to the bathroom? I assume into the ocean, but is there a seat or something to make it easier?

[@cMonk]

Surprisingly we actually have toilets in our cabins, kinda like the ones you get on aeroplanes with the powerful suction flushers. All human waste onboard is transferred to the ship's sewage treatment plant in the engine room. Chemicals are used to break it down into "smaller chunks" and remove bacteria and get rid of the brown colour. Once this process is complete it results in a clean clear liquid which is then used as drinking water for the crew ;D

[@kevinstonerock3158]

I for one am glad I got here. No one takes the time to examine what they have to work with till you’re in the situation. It might be too late if you don’t know what’s available. It might save someone from going back to their cabin for safety gear when it’s already in the life boat. Something like this should be in their cabin or common area so people are informed. They also need to know how to release the boat in case the crew is unavailable. But they also need to know when it’s time to lower it so people aren’t stranded onboard. In the end what good is a lifeboat if you don’t know how and when to release it? Thanks for the video information.

question about the radar deflector: once assembled does it have a special elevated mounting/mast to attach to, or do you leave it on the roof?

[@ridermak4111]

How about suspending a SART, a radar reflector, and a strobe light beneath a Mylar helium balloon at 100-200 meters altitude. In a vertical string one would never block the other two. I imagine this would be a major advantage for a small craft emergency with a small number of people.

Its like if you buy a battery in 2019 but dont use it until 2030 its most likely going to be dead. I dont know the exact reason behind that I just know that that will happen.

Ship sinking Everyone: READ THIS BOOK

[@seanlilly9530]

Just watched a show detailing the real rescue of Captain Phillips, and had to see what the inside of the lifeboat was like. Thanks for the show! Very informative. Needs a deck of cards though. Start playing solitaire and someone is bound to show up and tell you what you're doing wrong. They can rescue you at the same time. (Also works for being lost in the woods.)

Very cool to see the inside of those, they had them on our cruise ship, but thankfully never needed to use them. Wonder if they sell any that have been decommissioned. Would be a neat private boat.

[@001desertrat3]

Yes , go to a Ship Salvage where they cut up old ships for scrap metal . You can usually purchase Lifeboats but they may not be in the best of condition and are usually stripped of emergency supplies .

[@reynlifevlogsandgamingexcl8911]

Much better than old lifeboats

[@stephenbritton9297]

After working on a ship with a free-fall boat, I have to say, thats the way to "go" if you gotta "go" from your home! You ever tried hand crank starting the diesel? that SUCKS! I always thought half the stuff in the boat was mostly useless... but nothing more so than the can opener... required still, despite all rations not being in cans anymore (probably 20+ years!)

[@user-pi2fj6xs6q]

[@SumanChakraborty626]

hello sir..nice video sit...sir I have a doubt ....can u tell me pls shortly that what is the function of tricing pendent and bowsing tackle and painter in life boat?

[@bike_rider-k2h]

The painter is for mooring vessels so I guess you could raft life boats together to be more visible from the air.

[@theshuman100]

am I the only one who thinks this is just the coolest looking thing.
