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 are 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...
