@marlathetourist and they make ships sink proof in storms? Even small boats?
@Tfmonkey I'm no nautical expert but I had a brief interest in kayaking and that's what introduced me to sea anchors and drouge chutes.
@marlathetourist I'm sure they work better than nothing, but would you live on a boat in the middle of the ocean in a collapse scenario and trust it with your life in a storm with no hope of rescue?
@Tfmonkey Even if I were an experienced sailor, the whole premise of surviving a societal collapse offshore, in a boat no less, seems extremely risky. So no.
There seemed to be some questions of validity of the sea anchors and chutes on the show so I decided to address that here. That's all.
@Tfmonkey @marlathetourist I would rather have submarine than boat. At least submarine can go underwater and hide from storms or enemies.
@marlathetourist Very informational video. Sounds like using one of these is just responsible sailing. Recommended by the coast guard and all that.
@marlathetourist @Tfmonkey sink proof would be this
@marlathetourist @Tfmonkey Drouges are not new technology. Ancient ships used to use large rocks tied to long ropes to do the same thing. They stabilize ships in stormy weather, but there is no such thing as "storm proof" or "sink proof" just like there is no shore thing in investing. (pun intended)...
@marlathetourist @Tfmonkey
If you want to live on a boat to survive the collapse, I'm sure you could do it, but you should have years of experience piloting.
Additionally, the donations on Saturday read like an ad. The language was too stilted. If someone truly wants to know drouges, research pro/con lists. If all you find on a product is 100% support, you are right to be suspicious. Trust your BS detector!
@Tfmonkey my first reply got deleted somehow.
"Sink proof" would prob be a stretch. What the chutes do is act as brake to slow down sailing vessels on steep waves. if the bow hits the trough too fast it can submerge and create a dangerous situation.
Sea anchors do exactly as they sound, stop or slow the boat in a current so things like maintenance can be performed.
