Intresting but why am i watching this i dont even own a boat

[@finscreenname]

That thing is so nice it would be a shame to be in it for 15 minutes and then get picked up.

Professor Karen and the Viking , two beautiful life saving creations. amen Admiralty

[@JodiWatson]

This is a great product, and I hope we never have to use it, but I feel safer having it. You do still have to bring a separate ditch kit, which should include all of the other stuff you'll need to survive.

[@garykelly4251]

Why don’t they put solar panels on top to power the strobe and interior lights?

[@JoeZUGOOLA]

I bought an air mattress for camping today.. now I'm here 🤔

[@jonnypenn]

the entryway looks easily accessible. easier than some others that I've seen

[@agradina]

this product is absolutely awesome

[@wishingb5859]

To the people who make liferafts, there are new technologies, for instance, there are solar panels that are fabric, so that people could recharge flashlights or cell phones or apple watches or whatever devices to help people find them.

[@pauld8156]

The flotations tubes should have one more layer of redundancy. In a survival situation. 1 is none. 2 is one and 3 is two. It should have 3 flotation tubes.

[@DeVeith]

Each tube is able to support the entire raft on it's own. You would need to poke a hole through both to sink it.

[@MegaBoilermaker]

Well explained madam, thank you.

[@wcresponder]

Very nice piece if kit.

[@waterflow2324]

There should be some sort of filter on the rain collector. If it’s raining in the ocean, it’s possible for cross contamination in the water. Ideally you would just want a filter that filters salt and bacteria out of the salt water around you so you never run out of drinking water. It would make the life raft more expensive but trust me I’d buy it many times over if my life depends on it.

[@georgestewart1556]

I have spent hours online trying to determine which raft is the best. This one seems to be the best choice. (price notwithstanding)

[@rski1036]

It was my first choice and I loved the idea of picking what I wanted them to pack in it while I watched.

[@juliijulii1756]

Which raft did you choose? Would you still choose the same? Thanks

[@Avolition_]

Okay this is interesting. Can I mount this on my rowing boat?

Diamond master well Someone might have flooded the head

[@troyezell5841]

My thoughts exactly. Lol Nicely presented though.

[@jamesg985]

You can get the same raft from a different manufacturer for half the price. But this is the best quality you will find. That being said they are all approved and will do the same job.

[@NIGHTOWL-jf9zt]

With all the technology today i'm surprised it does not have a GPS transmitter beacon on board. Also, who else went to the web site to check it out and see other stuff?

I too am here because of the boat-tent idea. But what I want to know is how does one (and what is the ettiquette) of going kaka in a liferaft when there are other people in there too?

Drop it overboard, feed the fishes

[@pauld8156]

Wolf Ghost has some good points about the short comings.

[@smilerpie1]

Is Karen a Viking?

[@jimmartin7899]

You could also design modules that could be deployed in any environment. Say like space? In the desert heat or subzero artic? You could even design one that could submerge itself in order to wait out ruff seas. Why get tossed around on the waves when you could be safe and sound under them?

How to buy a Liferaft and what stores selling

[@kazi20011]

So your assed out if your stuck out for more then 3 days.

[@gerardcollins1767]

no its made of same stuff as dinghy at least the better ones,c do peoples rubber boats fall apart,they have harder life my avon over 20 yrears old still holds air ,but dont reckon on chinese one lasting usually avons rfd sodiac european makes,all replaced after on ships 12 yrs some boat owners just try them out remove stuff inside then puncture throw in dumpster at marina ask might get one free deflate them pump up manually have a hot tub back garden take camping ifloat offshore if you snore no more complaints

[@APPLEPIE521]

can it be deflated and used again and can we just buy it to hang out in it.

[@tasel5791]

Every normal liferaft can be deflated and "re-used", thats how they are tested

[@ricky8562]

Tasel so in theory you could stay in sea forever if you had supplies and skills?

[@tasel5791]

Rick Y Only if you had supplies for a lifetime I guess? ^^

[@Garryck-1]

@@ricky8562 - "in theory"... not really. Liferafts are only designed/built to last about a week at most. They are built on the assumption that rescue usually occurs within a few days. After that, all the parts will slowly start deteriorating, chafing, and coming apart. Keeping a liferaft afloat on the ocean for more than a few weeks is *extremely* difficult, as those who've had to do so have testified.

[@theworkethic]

@@Garryck-1 Steven Callahan’s life raft in 1982 last 76 days (2.5 months) so this better last at least 6 months

I find it ironic that the video is 9 min 11 secs long.

[@joecooper97]

How's that ironic

[@theovolz3073]

Maybe they meant 911, as in the American emergency number?

[@jimmartin7899]

You could design fire proof capsules for fire fighters has well. That they could deploy if they had no other choice! So many possibilities!

[@maherkanawati]

Cool can you tell us what is the actual Wight of this equipment in total please. Thanks

[@joewoodchuck3824]

No exterior lights, no radio, no vhf emergency beacon, no water filter, and how well will it hold up in less than good conditions?

[@juliijulii1756]

There's a flashing light on the roof. As for the rest; VHF etc. That is up to you.

[@mikejohnson1249]

Thats best raft I seen

[@debra92010]

We just received our ResYou Pro :) I was wondering what the water collector material is on the outside of the raft?

[@djdeaf13]

Do they also have an Amateur liferaft?

[@peterfrancis3865]

It look fantastic nice like it 👍

[@jimmartin7899]

Design the emergency shelters to collapse back into a hard shell case. You could design them like balls that can inflate and deflate back into their protected ball shape if not inflated with foam. Campers would love something like this. Rather then pitch a tent then have to fold it all back up? Not to mention the heating and cooling unit built into it? Old or damaged units cold be recycled and a trade in discount could be offered has incentive or has an insurance package? Time to branch out your investment where it really counts! In order to improve the quality of people lives. ; )

[@johndavid5883]

[@MAVA1686]

It looks 80% ok

[@Kristina-mm9ih]

How much do these weigh?

[@jimmartin7899]

Why not design these for emergency shelters? With solar panels and heat conductors that change heat into power to run a heating and cooling unit built right into its design. These shelters could also be inflated with with foam that hardens making the shelters more durable and longer lasting. They could be designed to connect with each other even with a green house if the outside air was too toxic. Just a helpful idea. = )

[@lahsenbenemman389]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@jimmartin7899]

You could even use thermal conducting pads like band aids to stick to people to generate electricity to run motors lights and other electronics. Why limit yourselves when just about anything is possible? ; )

[@jimmartin7899]

You could incorporate the lite metal technologies into designs and even design emergency capsules for tall buildings. Activate a capsule get in strap in and fall off the building the capsule would protect the occupant from blunt force from the micro latice of the lite metal frame work. These could also be used on air planes has well. Designed to protect people has they fall back to the ground. Get the right designers together and just about anything is possible. This has both military and practical uses! Bottom line is the money! Sell the right designs and support systems and then sit back and watch the money work for you! Has you make a huge difference in many lives while doing it! ; )

[@MsSweetLoquita]

👍

[@MsSweetLoquita]

Like a hard balloon capsule to roll down . question is How to get inside from mid air ? I understand ur point but im picturing how to get in

500 plastic milk bottles, half full. Keeps your boat afloat, and keeps you hydrated.

[@Texaca]

that's a lot of milk bottles, just where do you store them, and how do you deploy them, to save you. I'm not criticizing, I'm just curious. Your statement has some merit to it. Have you engineered a test unit? You'd also need high quality bottles, that'll resist deterioration when exposed to UV light.

[@ghostwolf6488]

A few Major big problems, you didn't include a fishing pack, emergency food, satellite distress beacon. that water catch is awful. As soon as a wave splashes sea water into that, its instantly contaminated. The exposed rubber flooring is terrible against sea water for more than 2 weeks, lastly, there is no drainage for sea water taken onboard. You'd get some mean rashes. I like the shape and use of the lights, although a cheap solar lighting system would work a lot better. I suggest a RO Hand pump or at least a solar still included in the kit.

[@KiloByte69]

What fucking video were you watching? 6:18 - Emergency food 4:19 - Internal bailing system Solar lighting? Glad to know I'm guaranteed to have adequate sunlight to charge it. Lastly, the supplies are dependent on local regulations and could easily be modified to include a "fishing kit" and emergency beacon.

[@cannack]

solar lighting wouldn't be the worst idea, even built in just for the roof beacon EPIRB on the ship likely operates on the GLONASS/GPS system so that would go off imediately, all ocean going vessels require at least a buoyant 121.5mhz beacon, thast why once clear you deploy the sea anchor so when the distress signal is picked up the first place searchers look is directly where the ship sank and work outwards i know some people who have so called ditching bags ,alot of of water, food, smoke and flares, a satilite based EPIRB, a marine vhf radio, flashligts, fishing kit, sea sickness tabs and a beefy first aid kit, you cant have all this stuff built into a raft for size and weight require ments, thats found on large lifeboats

[@rski1036]

I bought mine in Miami. In addition to the standard, food packs, water packs, fishing line & hooks, and yes scoop to bail water, I had them pack a space blanket, water maker & a PLB. Their Miami facility had a large room full of extra items.

[@bicanoo_magic3452]

OK SO that was a bit over the top...but I Do Agree its pretty cool. I was even thinking of using it as a lake tent it's so good!

[@islandhorses..]

Watching this is scary

[@MsSweetLoquita]

What else a shake with the fries? But if should be 3 bottle of waters and 3 Envelops. Of nutrients vitamins protein for each day After 3rd day all of u are on ur own 😁

[@Garryck-1]

Your body needs extra water to digest protein. That's why the emergency foods don't include proteins.. it would just make you thirstier.
