As We've said before... Who Ya Gonna Call When Ya REALLY Need Help???
Doug Ritter is a man with a mission... to get you through what could conceivably be the worst day of your life so that you can have a day after the worst day of your life. And in the case of a ditching at sea, the issues necessary to insure survival both numerous as well as ponderous... and that's why Ritter, Aviation's own "survival guy" is the man to listen to.
As we've previously described the irrepressible Ritter, he's the guy that no one wants to talk to... until it's too late. Doug Ritter, aviation's most prominent survival expert, has built a business and a devoted following among those knowledgable pilots that understand that survival is more a matter of preparation than reaction.
Douglas S. Ritter's, 'Equipped To Survive' web site is easily the most comprehensive online resource for independent reviews of survival equipment and outdoors gear, as well as survival and Search and Rescue information. Equipped To Survive can help you determine the best choices to prepare for anything from a hike in the park to a life threatening emergency or disaster. Doug asks us to "please note" that this is not a "survivalist" site and that the Equipped To Survive Web site is supported by the non-profit 501(c)(3) Equipped To Survive Foundation and edited by him, personally.
The 'Equipped To Survive Foundation' is dedicated to saving lives by:
Raising awareness of potential survival emergencies
Promoting preparedness as the key to surviving life-threatening circumstances
Performing research and offering objective information to allow intelligent selection of effective survival and emergency preparedness equipment and supplies
Providing education in practical survival and emergency preparedness techniques and procedures
Encouraging development of new and improved survival and emergency preparedness equipment, supplies and technique
In this outing with Aero-TV, we caught up with Doug for an interesting look at how to survive the ditching of an aircraft at sea...
