As a fellow seafarer, I can only imagine the amount of time and effort that went into filming this. What I appreciated the most was the fact that you actually dragged all the lifeboat items to the table tennis room and assembled some of them while giving brief explanation of their usage. As always, kudos to you Jeff!
not to mention you made it memorable by the upbeat way of presentation of what is a negative situation (having to use a lifeboat for real ). I thought it was on par with commercial style training videos .. GREAT Video! Lastly I had no idea that radar reflector gives a Radar cross section of a 900 foot ship That can only be very helpful
+what's up Its not possibly true, its a fact, ration food is not meant to taste good its meant to keep you alive and so the taste is usually neutral as possible.
The jackknife and hatchet the are the most important items for two reasons: 1) Whoever has the weapons makes the rules 2) You’ll need them when you run out of food and have to kill and eat your fellow passengers
It always amazed me that in a survival situation how clueless people can get. This simple video is a great intro to survival at sea. Simply playing with the items helps with familiarity. This can be a lesson to anyone that has a survival kit as the items do have a shelf life. Great video.
Don’t know how I got in this channel. But your 30 day time lapse sealed the deal for me. What an incredible channel. Love shit like this. That radar reflector is incredible, so simple an ingenious. Brilliant.
I'm an old lady and doubt very much I will ever find myself on a lifeboat. However, I found your video fascinating. Very nicely done. You have great video skills. ~Sherrie in South Carolina
Man, I loved your videos! Its so good to see this kind of content in a dynamic and light video and not something from Videotel training videos! Thanks a lot!
How the hell did i get here? I was watching Tom Scott, wth... lol Edit: just finished the video and am actually really happy I found that channel! good content, and your English is really good!

Maybe on calm lake, but we're talking ocean here. Electric motors suck at sea... not enough torque to handle conditions. You would also need a large bank of marine batteries and numerous weather/shock-proof solar panels... the expense and weight! Better-off spending that money on a spare fuel motor and fuel.
@ what's up electric motors have far greater torque than diesel have. and no they dont such at seas many boats will use electric motors since they are far superior in power to weight ratio and you can stick them anywhere you want. and dont forget submarines. and dont forget special solar powered catamarans than went around the world just fine but yes batteries are still problematic. having small solar panel just to power some electronics is good idea but you would need really lots of those to power any meaningful motor. actually more than you have space for.
Ive just recently started watching your videos and i cant believe the production quality on them! If only all youtube videos were this high of a standard. Keep it up man, we all love your work!
Very cool. I always wondered what the inside of those lifeboats looked like. I wonder why they don't include a hand pumped water maker. Drinkable water is something you can never have to much of. The little hand pump units aren't exactly efficient but in a survival situation, the ability to make 4 or 5 liters of fresh water in an hour or so could be a life saver.
good job making this video! I'm a ship surveyor, watched tons of videos about ships and never have I came across yours! It's hilarious yet informative! kudos
It'd be vvorse if they lifted up the thing belovv the seat & started using it as a toilet, nobody vvants poop on their emergcy rations even if they allready taste like shit theres no reason to add natural/organic genuine shit flavor.
Surprisingly we actually have toilets in our cabins, kinda like the ones you get on aeroplanes with the powerful suction flushers. All human waste onboard is transferred to the ship's sewage treatment plant in the engine room. Chemicals are used to break it down into "smaller chunks" and remove bacteria and get rid of the brown colour. Once this process is complete it results in a clean clear liquid which is then used as drinking water for the crew ;D
this video is very well done, really top notch quality. from the editing, voice over, and the mild background music, to the video recordings, lifeboat tour, and content display well done. I appreciate the video, i feel i learned something.
Hi Jeff. In tracking the OOCL Atlanta it appears you left Charleston and are heading through the Suez Canal heading into the Red Sea. Have a safe trip.
i once went on a small cruise ship, Halifax to New York, sank mid-way. i was 14 at the time, but i was and still is a wise person, i was luckily one of the first persons to reach the lifeboat, i immediatly told someone near the safety pins to take these pins off and hop in. i hopped in and quickly opened the manual near the driver seat. it was a smaller lifeboat, 20 capacity but mostly the same concept but there were two industrial sized jerrycans on board. soon, 17 people were inside, i looked outside and did'nt see anyone else trying to get on board, i asked someone sitting next to the door to confirm and noone was coming. as the ship was sinking relatively quickly we mostly all decided not to take chances, closed the hatches and i pulled the cord. i drove a small distance away from the wreck and started assigning tasks. one person distributing the jumpsuits, another the sea sickness pills,two people were the lookout, one person made sure morale is stable, we made sure food lasted for a good while, with two emergency portions per day, we calculated we would be able to hold for a week, another person was resting and shift with me at the driver position, the person in question was a retired fisherman, he used to be the nightime driver for his crew and shift with the captain. in the first day we managed to rescue two more survivors, and done the same routine, jumpsuits and the pills, the next day we recovered a person in bad shape, advanced hypothermia, unconscious. luckily, one person on board was a nurse, she took care of him while he was regaining consciousness. we did'nt have really disgusting food, we had Emergency MREs instead they were half decent to be honnest. after 3 days, i shifted with the other driver and helped put some more fuel in the tank before resting. suddenly, our night driver yelled "do you guys hear that?" we went silent, trying to make out the noise, we figured it was a chopper. i quickly grabed the flares with one of our lookouts and launched them. about 10 minutes later, someone knocked on our hatch, i oppened it and we evacuated the people that we needed to get out first. then when the coast guard guy came back down he put an IR beacon on top of the lifeboat, it took 2 more helis to get all of us out, i was one of the last ones to leave.
I did the lifeboat training in Norway before I was allowed to work on Frigg field installing computers back in the early 80s. This brings back some memories.
Hi Jeff, your videos are awesome. I was wondering if you can talk about the food in the ship, like what kind of food you eat, types of snacks, hour for lunch, variety of food like fruits, vegetables, liquors, juice and those things, and what is the level of autonomy with the food for the crew, thanks again for the quality of your videos.
coffee time is always at 1500hrs and after that dinner. There is special room, not shown on this video that is used as kitchen. There is also recreation room, cinema and balcony. Cristina, im joking. There is not variety of food on Life boat, just cookies that taste like sh**t and water that taste the same...cheers

i rerember when i launched my inflatable liferaft on my first boat (49 footer) when it was sinking (sunk due to unknown reasons, probably engine or shaft went wrong) and i was panicking and crying so much because that cost me over £400,00
I saw yesterday the video of, I think, 30days at sea time lapse and had to hit that “subscribe” button because of how incredible the footage. While this video wasn’t as exciting as the last I saw, it was still very cool to see that!! Amazing video once again !!!
@@spazmonkey2131 If you vvorked @ a company & somebody told you to build something a certain vvay because International Maritime Lavvs said to do it that vvay you vvould & it vvouldnt matter vvhat country you lived in. The company that makes those life boats makes them so vvell that ships from all around the vvorld use them as they've been proven to be reliable.They include instructions in english & chinese & the ones I savv vvere made in Norvvay & Japan regardless vvhat country makes them they'd be made to International Maritime Standards & they'd be vigorously tested randomly all the time to ensure quality as every year the crevv of the ship have to test the lifeboats & their launching systems to make sure they vvork completely & aftervvard they make sure the batteries are charged & the fuel topped off . Lastly though they dont have a radio they have a radio beacon vvhich rescuers can home in on as it broadcasts on a fequency that is used vvorldvvide for emergencys only. The radio beacon uses a lot less povver than a regular radio & broadcasts 24hrs a day.They'd need both solar panels & a small vvind turbine on a mast to keep up enough electricity to use a regular radio My best friend is a merchant sailor & I've asked him about these things & he's said he'd trust one of those lifeboats completely. & he'd expect to get rescued vv/in 72hrs but they'd be fine @ sea for a vveek if need be .
Awesome brother. The way you tackel your time btwn your duties and shooting all these great videos and explaining each nd everythng is a treat to watch. Keep up the good work , god bless and bon voyage
Cable Tie Mechanic work work work you work everyday it's a big piece of metal surrounded by salty water so a big part of your job at Sea is preventive maintenance a lot of chipping a lot of painting a lot of lubricating greasing unless you're in the engine Department it's kind of the same but a whole lot different does that make any sense? hell no I know it doesn't I'll let a engineer explain it
its usually the same routine Down Under, like preventive maintenance for the engine and its auxiliaries... sounding of tanks, checking electrical stuffs (lighting, motors, etc), reading of engine room parameters like pressures and temperatures, as well hours of cleaning
what is interesting to know about lifeboats, since the company has the duty to save the lives of the crew on board before everything, and knowing how lifeboats work, help everyone to do in case of emergency
I really loved this video! It is so important for all Merchant Marine Cadets to be more familiarized about these Life Saving Appliances, taking into account that they will be the Officers in charge of their good operation and condition through proper maintenance. Keep it up! :)
Hey yo bro are you going to do more timelapse videos? These videos were so fucking awesome, they got 100% positive feedback everyone loved them = you should do more :)
Make it big, he did indeed. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for that last epic time lapse video. And you knew this guys videos before that, I salute you fine sir
Hopefully i'll never need that knowledge.. but knowing about the radar reflector, rain collector, hook and so many things you showed might just save my life one day.. - thanks
nice video brought me back to water survival school which wasn't the funnest class I've taken we had one of them auto inflation 30 man round life rafts and yeah not fun
I’m pretty sure a rescue ship will come rather soon especially with modern equipment so we won’t need food and all that, or I’d rather die if I’m in there for a day +
@@neurofiedyamato8763 They need electricity and they only have power from a battery to start the engine and to run all of the components like the spedometer etc. They should have a battery but the issue is is that if a boat sits on teh side of the ship for too long, the batter will naturally die. Its like if you buy a battery in 2019 but dont use it until 2030 its most likely going to be dead. I dont know the exact reason behind that I just know that that will happen.
I guess good point. Well I see it that if you don't have battery, then it doesn't matter if you have it or not. If you do have battery, then having it would be a lifesaver, literally. Its not like it would hurt to have it on board, they aren't all that big.
actually not mandatory within the SOLAS requirement, but some manufacturer install some. however there are crew bring the portable vhf radio together assume that the lifeboat dont have it. so that cover it.
indeed^^ , in most lifeboats they aren't included but there must be a radio signalling beacon (onboard the ship with an automatic release unit that activates when it gets wet) an a radar transponder wich sends out a signal on other ship's radars (possible aiding vessels)
there are some (2 in my ship's case) portable VHF radio (looks similar to walkie talkie but works in greater range) which are kept in Bridge under the supervision of radio officer. while abandoning ship on a lifeboat, the detailed person has to take those with him
TY for going over vvhat is inside of & hovv to use a lifeboat. Learning things like this may save your & other peoples life one day & though I hope to never have to do this its best to be prepared. TY again & hope things are going vvell foryou both @ Sea & on Land Bro.
Great video man. I'm about to sit my final exam to qualify as a deck officer so stumbled across this looking at a refresher in how to launch a lifeboat. Good work.
Wathcing them test the lifeboats from my balcomy room was probably the best thing ever on a cruise apart from the sunset and stuff Those were good times😔
The strong will survive. Cool video , it amazes me though that cruse ships at muster do not go through the basics of lifeboat launching just in case the crew member assigned to boat might be injured.
Got any questions? Follow my life at sea and DM me on instagram.com/Jeffrey.hk

The emergency food is made INTENTIONALLY to not taste very good, so that you won't eat too much of it all at once.
Ah, possibly true...
Same thing happens with military rations.
And it's awfully dry, so you eat slowwwwwwly.
Makes sense!
+what's up
Its not possibly true, its a fact, ration food is not meant to taste good its meant to keep you alive and so the taste is usually neutral as possible.
Thanks for the Tutorial. I just ordered a 200 Meter Cruise Ship and have no clue how to handle it.
Ahh same, this video really helped

It’s like a very strange unboxing video
lol imagine finding one of these out by sea and doing a live unboxing
I thought the hole in the Lifeboat seat was a personal toilet LOL
Stephen Slater me too
He didn't make any mention of how they expected to handle that function. Guessing the bucket is it.
Stephen Slater 😂😂😂
It’s a bidett
it is but only after you take the items you need out- !!!
I actually went inside the emergency pod the pirates took Captain Phillips in. Kinda cool. Theres blood stains
Same was it the one at the Vero Beach Navy Seal Museum?
I would never travel anywhere with Tom Hanks

The jackknife and hatchet the are the most important items for two reasons:
1) Whoever has the weapons makes the rules
2) You’ll need them when you run out of food and have to kill and eat your fellow passengers

You really could have used just one reason... the two are a bit redundant.
hope this helps

3) if someone farts
Set of water proof playing cards missing in the kit
They don't add it because it will be an easy way when it comes the time to decide who keeps living and who doesn't.

They should add solar penals and a electric motor when they run out of diesel.
SVENSWEVEN yes and compass too
eggrollsoup there is a compass
Maybe on calm lake, but we're talking ocean here.
Electric motors suck at sea... not enough torque to handle conditions.
You would also need a large bank of marine batteries and numerous weather/shock-proof solar panels... the expense and weight!
Better-off spending that money on a spare fuel motor and fuel.
Too much cost and weight. Better to add more diesel.
@ what's up electric motors have far greater torque than diesel have. and no they dont such at seas many boats will use electric motors since they are far superior in power to weight ratio and you can stick them anywhere you want. and dont forget submarines. and dont forget special solar powered catamarans than went around the world just fine

Great video! How do people go to the bathroom? I assume into the ocean, but is there a seat or something to make it easier?
Surprisingly we actually have toilets in our cabins, kinda like the ones you get on aeroplanes with the powerful suction flushers. All human waste onboard is transferred to the ship's sewage treatment plant in the engine room. Chemicals are used to break it down into "smaller chunks" and remove bacteria and get rid of the brown colour. Once this process is complete it results in a clean clear liquid which is then used as drinking water for the crew ;D

Fritz Quick thinking. Good job.
I think a satellite communicator with GPS would be the most important supply.
it is in the life jackets epirb
It is the responsibility of a named crew member to go and get the epirb on the bridge when evacuating
Or an M16, depending on the situation

I’m pretty sure a rescue ship will come rather soon especially with modern equipment so we won’t need food and all that, or I’d rather die if I’m in there for a day +
Very well done production team!
Let me get this straight... with all of that there isn’t a radio on board?
Or did I miss it?
Same I didn't notice any satellite phone which I thought would be absolutely vital.
@@neurofiedyamato8763 They need electricity and they only have power from a battery to start the engine and to run all of the components like the spedometer etc. They should have a battery but the issue is is that if a boat sits on teh side of the ship for too long, the batter will naturally die. Its like if you buy a battery in 2019 but dont use it until 2030 its most likely going to be dead. I dont know the exact reason behind that I just know that that will happen.
I guess good point. Well I see it that if you don't have battery, then it doesn't matter if you have it or not. If you do have battery, then having it would be a lifesaver, literally.
Its not like it would hurt to have it on board, they aren't all that big.
HEY JEFFHK THAT WAS SUCH A INFORMATIVE VIDEO ... GREAT JOB ... I ALWAYS WONDERED HOW THEY WORK..... COOL
+christopher gardiner Thanks chris!
5:01 WOW
Didn't know the safety manual had BJ instruction!
I guesss you never know what helps sailors keep the moral at sea
Nice work! I love watching your blogs!!
I hope to God I will never ever need to be in one of these things
Awesome video as always sir Jeff! 👍👍
Does the lifeboat have a marine radio?
Good question!
Didn't show one, but I would presume yes.
It wasn't mentioned but a gps beacon would make sense.
actually not mandatory within the SOLAS requirement, but some manufacturer install some. however there are crew bring the portable vhf radio together assume that the lifeboat dont have it. so that cover it.
indeed^^ , in most lifeboats they aren't included but there must be a radio signalling beacon (onboard the ship with an automatic release unit that activates when it gets wet) an a radar transponder wich sends out a signal on other ship's radars (possible aiding vessels)
there are some (2 in my ship's case) portable VHF radio (looks similar to walkie talkie but works in greater range) which are kept in Bridge under the supervision of radio officer. while abandoning ship on a lifeboat, the detailed person has to take those with him
i love that neck whip at the end you earned a sub
Hope no one above or below me have to experience this
TY for going over vvhat is inside of & hovv to use a lifeboat. Learning things like this may save your & other peoples life one day & though I hope to never have to do this its best to be prepared. TY again & hope things are going vvell foryou both @ Sea & on Land Bro.

Ship sinking
Everyone: READ THIS BOOK
Well done, I always wondered about lifeboats and had never seen the inside of one before. Nice video!
I've watched this video ten times and im not rly interested in boats
technoboy9982 but now you know how to survive at sea
90 minutes of ur life wasted
don't call it a boat... it's a ship... BIIIG difference
Loved that snappin outro... Interesting video. Smiles
Thanks for the great videos bro. I've been in this industry for 10 years.
The hatchet and knife were badass!
Hey man, great videos, brings me back to my Great Lakes training days. Keep up the good work.
+Neil Walsh thanks neil!
Amazing channel, very informative to those people who want to be a competent seafarer and officer in the future. - Cadet fan here. Thumbs up!
am I the only one who thinks this is just the coolest looking thing.
I love how in depth this is. gg my dude.
also im robbing that second song for my personal use to blast in my car :D
Great video man. I'm about to sit my final exam to qualify as a deck officer so stumbled across this looking at a refresher in how to launch a lifeboat. Good work.
I'm here because I'm currently reading life of Pi and now too curious of what a lifeboat of a ship look like. Thanks for the video!
I never would have though about the radar reflector, that is really cool!
Thank you bro for helpful video for seafarers. Great job.
Great video JeffHK. Really like how you take time to go through everything.
This was a wonderful vid! Thank you for sharing it with all of us!!!!!
many thanks for useful video! great work!
Awsum presentation and by the end i wanted to see more!
Thats a relief. So small boat with so many things!
Wathcing them test the lifeboats from my balcomy room was probably the best thing ever on a cruise apart from the sunset and stuff
Those were good times😔
Somehow this is comforting to know that all this stuff is there, and has been thought of. Surely each boat has an EPIRB in it?
Keep making these awesome videos to educate us during quarantine times. Stay safe bro
The strong will survive. Cool video , it amazes me though that cruse ships at muster do not go through the basics of lifeboat launching just in case the crew member assigned to boat might be injured.
Hey I know that channel icon. Isn't that a branch of the military based in Hawaii? My Great Grandfather was part of that branch.
