Hello, my name is Randy Boone and I am a retired U.S. Coast Guard Aviation Survivalman. As an ASM, I was tasked with inspection and repairs of all unit inflatables, including lifevests, liferafts, and aircraft floatation systems. Prior to my retirement, I was co-responsible for re-writing the maintanence manuals for these inflatables, as well as all rescue and survival equipment used in CG Aviation.
As an aircrew member, I have spent thousands of hours searching for persons in the water. I know first hand what signals will catch a searcher's eye and unfortunately I also know that without signals, your chances of being spotted and rescued are slim.
When purchasing lifesaving equipment, it is important to know what equipment you need for your boating area. For instance, you would not purchase a liferaft for Northern Seas and lakes unless it has a well supported canopy, large volume ballast bags, and an inflatable floor. And what about boarding the liferaft? Having trouble climbing in? If you feel that boarding the liferaft may be an issue for you or others in your group? Well, let's add a Boarding Platform! Do you have a prescription for meds.? Glasses, sunglasses? Let's have them vacuum packed inside of the liferaft survival equipment bag so they'll be there when you need them.
This is my area of expertise. Before you purchase your emergency gear from someone who knows nothing about survival equipment and who has never seen an inflated liferaft, why not give me a call and make sure that you are purchasing the correct gear for your boating area? Not only do I sell survival equipment, I love to show you how it works. Join me in one of my "in-the-water" survival classes either here in Mobile Alabama or in an area near you.
