>>1370937>EPIRB is great as long as some tard doesn't leave it tied to the ship when it goes down. That's why I posted the pic of the dry bag I've got in a leg pocket a few posts up the thread with a PLB in it - I'd rather a fully fledged EPIRB, but it's on my body, wheras the EPIRBs we carry are inside our liferaft, and if the aircraft sinks before we get the fucker out at least I have something.
We've had similar shit with people being retarded with beacon storage, sadly - like having it neatly stowed under the seats in small fishing boats which have capsized, with the occupants clinging to the upturned hull and not managing to dive under water to retrieve it. Must be fucking dreadful to die with salvation literally less than an inch of hull material away from you.
