Captian William E. Simpson II

Tips For Survival Resourcefulness:
-
Think like MacGyver
-
Assess and encompass all available resources. Then formulate a solution using those resources.
-
Try to have tools on hand to fix a situation before you end up stuck in it.
-
Call for help (if possible) before you actually render assistance to someone in need.
Life Raft Survival Tips:
-
Stability is key! If your central buoyancy point is centralized you are going to rock more.
-
Archimedes principle states that the buoyancy created by a submerged object is equal to the weight of the water displaced. (water weighs 8 lbs. per gallon)
-
Make sure the water is safe or stay out of it!
-
Ensure you have protection from exposure.
-
Hydration will be your biggest priority because you will be expending lots of energy rowing.
-
Food is secondary but you may be able to catch birds using your raft as a place to land and take a rest.
-
Water Contamination:
-
Potential sources: leaks in storage and transportation containers, radioactive nuclear contaminates, volcanic activity, naturally occurring mineral contaminates like arsenic, etc.
-
A solar still is not going to remove industrial contaminates.
-
Boiling does not remove these contaminates.
-
Lifestraws will not remove these industrial contaminates either
