The 12DF Double Insulated Floor gives you aprox 6" of air separation from the actual floor. This significally reduces the body robbing conduction and convection factor caused by the movement of cold water under the liferaft. Highly recommended for water temperatures under 70 degrees fahrenheit.
Liferaft tidiness is paramount. The StoreSafe Pockets keep your supplies off of the floor and close at hand to keep your gear dry and safe. Suggestion: Once inside liferaft, remove all signaling gear from the survival equipment container and place in one pocket, place first-aid in one pocket, place water and food in another pocket.
Most coastal and some offshore liferafts do not carry adequate gear for survival. In fact, many of the smaller coastal liferafts carry only a small hand pump and maybe a liferaft repair kit and that's it!
The AST Liferaft Supplement Kit can be attached to your liferaft or added to the SEP during build-up or re-certification. Also makes a great addition to a ditch or abandon ship bag!

When you take into account that you can only survive for 2-3 days without water, a watermaker makes a lot of sense. Place the suction hose into the sea water and start pumping. The reverse osmosis watermaker converts salt water to fresh drinking water.
Personal Items such as Medical Prescriptions, Prescription Glasses, Wool Hat, Baby Pacifiers Etc.
You can have "must take" prescriptions (vacuum pack if you can), glasses, sunglasses, hats, etc. in your liferaft equipment container. Let me know if you want to add any of these items and I will let you know where to send them.
