This is the same as car safety kits and earthquake kits.
And don't get me started on first aid kits.

I've done various sea survival courses and crucially a first aid at sea where we were told that a very important item to have in a life raft is a water bottle, when the fresh water is finished it can be filled with salt water from the sea, in a life or death situation the sea water can be "squired" up the bum and your body will absorb the water filtering out the salt.

I have a friend who before doing the single handed transpac (to HI) for the second time sent his "life raft" back to the mfr for recert (required by the race committee) and much to his surprise it failed cert as it was packed up with a major slit in it (much larger than could be repaired with any reasonable kit let alone it would never inflate so repairing would be that much more difficult/impossible)… made him think twice about even getting a new LR since this came from the factory sealed up but with a fatal flaw in it…

practice, practice, practice, on your boat so you can see gear placement shortcomings… having an epirb below decks is only ok if you have several… life rafts are really only luxury life vests…

I’m not a sailor (I’m a kayaker), but if I was on a small boat offshore I’d not just be relying on getting to the boat’s EPIRBs. For kayaking I have a PLB (pocket sized EPIRB) and you can be sure I’d be keeping that in my pocket/clipped to my gear if I was offshore.

Have a PLB attached to your life vest!

I remember receiving a similar talk from the pilot of an air sea rescue helicopter pilot. One thing he pointed out, is that even if all your electronic gadgetry was up to date and working, when a helicopter is hovering over someone in the water, it's like looking for a basket ball. Flashing lights and brightly coloured clothing are next to useless.

He implored us all to keep sachets of dye, he said they disperse in the water with the current and point to you like an arrow.

Hardly anyone repeats this advice.

The Communist lie that the Sky is falling kills another pair of useful idiot Hippies that demand the government use its force to make us all useful idiots like them… God doesn't like the Communists very much apparently.

Everyone blaming the li-ion batteries while they happily sail around with 10-20kg propane on board. That makes zero sense in my opinion.

I personally have experience with li-ion and lead acide installations. Try to guess witch battery type I have had thermal runaway in? Due to good management system and monitoring devices the problem was caught in time. The repurposed Leaf batteries still run smoothly, thank you.

This is screamingly funny.
