The semaphore flag-signaling system is an alphabet-based system that requires waving a pair of hand-held flags in particular patterns. Here's how you send a rescue signal using the flags.
Step 1: Get the receiver's attention
Get the attention of the person you wish to send the signal to by waving both of your flags repeatedly overhead in a scissor-like motion.
Step 2: Wait for acknowledgment
Wait for the receiving party to send the semaphore letter K with their flags. This is the signal to proceed.
Tip
There are unique flag positions for each letter of the alphabet.
Step 3: Transmit N-C
Transmit the letters N-C using your semaphore flags. Move directly from the N position to the C position without stopping.
Tip
In the International Code of Signals the letters N-C stand for "I am in distress and require immediate assistance."
Step 4: Bring your flags down
Bring your flags down in front of you with the flag staffs crossing each other after you have finished.
Step 5: Wait for acknowledgment
Wait for the receiver to send the letter C, acknowledging your distress call. If your message was not received, they will send the letters I-M-I. If this happens, resend your message.
Did You Know?
The International Code of Signals was drafted in 1855 by the British Board of Trade.
because when you're lost, you always have flags
but if you're a good hiker you'll have grocery bags for trash.
I keep semaphore flags when I go hiking or in the car for emergencies. I know the signals but honestly just waving them around, people know you need help lol
because when someone is near enough to see you, flags are required to show you're in need.
So how are you going to send a signal to a search airplane?
Two dwights in a field
im pretty sure they will know your in need after they see those flags right?
Prolly not
because random people who might help you carry flags just for this purpose
The letter K? Damn, even Semaphore flagsters are too lazy to type out "Ok".
Because it's simple.
too many words, not enough flag. all the words are covering the flags, can't see the signal positions
really handy thanks from Poland where semaphore is so common ;-0
why the "I" is actually different from place to place (same as "O" and "W")
Flirt
Haha. The emergency is flirting.
This is badly researched, and is a disservice and irresponsible to represent as authoritative.
Wait what
Honestly, that video was so hurried and garbled, I still have no idea how to send an N-C code... and I watched the thing three times. Fail.
first thing you'll need.... semaphorewha what?
Am I being a Nazi if I point out on land they should be blue and white flags, not red and yellow??
red and yellow can use in both,howerver to be like a pro use the blue and white
I guess
A real semaphore flag is white and red and is made of silk or paper that is strong
These guys have really sloppy signals.
