It was great to get a call from Doug Ritter (Survival and Ditching Expert) yesterday.
Doug is the founder, Publisher and Editor of Equipped To Survive (TM), the most comprehensive independent source of information on survival. Stopping and reviewing his site is a must.
We discussed what gear should be attached to my life vest and what gear should stay in my ditch bag.
At $75.00 per hour consulting fee he is a real bargain. His lovely wife Sue who holds down the office is great and lots of giggles.
Doug knows his stuff. He’s why I bought all of this gear…of course I hope that I never actually use it.
I’ve spent many hours on the phone with Doug after attending his excellent seminar in Camarillo. His voice and information are totally reassuring.
NOT THAT I’M THE SLIGHTEST BIT NERVOUS ABOUT THIS JOURNEY
