Emergency equipment

We worked out the definition of our emergency equipment extremely carefully. Our special thanks for their helping advice goes to two very experienced experts in this field. On one hand Mr. Oberstabsbootsmann Reinhard Lill of the German Army Marinegeschwader based in Nordholz. And on the other hand Randy Boone, retired Aviation Survivalman Senior Chief of the U.S.Coast Guard. His company Aviation Survival Technologies offers a big range of survival equipment. The following equipment list is the result. Finally, it is a trade-off between safety aspects and weight restrictions:

  • Life raft WINSLOW Dual Safe with closeable canopy and inflatable double floor (can also be used as a tent in case of a land emergency)
  • MUSTANG Ocean Commander 8000 Immersion Dry Suits (protects against hypothermia in combination with underwear)
  • "Wattemann" and thermo underwear (protects against hypothermia, worn underneath dry suit)
  • SECUMAR life jackets
