Before attempting to escape, what should be inventoried?

• A. Survival Equipment That Might Be Taken Along
• B. Water and Food
• C. Clothing
• D. Signaling Devices

Answer: (A)

Before attempting to escape, you should inventory the survival equipment that might be taken along. This quick audit tells you exactly what gear is available and what you can reasonably carry, so you can assemble a workable kit for shore or lifeboat use without forgetting essentials. Water and food, clothing, and signaling devices are all important parts of survival gear, but focusing on any single category won’t guarantee you have everything you need. A full inventory of the survival equipment that could be taken along gives you a clear, reliable starting point when time is critical.
