SAS 122 – Sea Survival & Abandoning Ships

Survival at Sea: Four-Fifths of the Earth’s surface is open water – the most difficult environment in which to survive. Water and wind rapidly chill the body. Alone in cold water your chances are not good without equipment. If you know your location you may be able to predict where the currents will carry you.

SAS 118 - Moving
Negotiating territory at night can be dangerous, but may be necessary. Because it is difficult to see clearly you are easily disorientated. It is always darker among trees, so keep to open country if you can. When looking at an object at night, look at one side rather than directly at it. It is hard to distinguish anything in a dark mass, but edges show clearly.

SAS 112 - Direction Finding & Weather

SAS 155 - Diseases
When in water, the survivor is more likely to be exposed to water - borne diseases, or those carried by insects and animals. Tropical diseases are less familiar and will therefore be dealt with here in more detail.

SAS 184 - Disaster Strategy & Vehicles
Transport has an important role to play in disaster strategy. Make sure you know how to get the best use out of your vehicle in any situation. If you are trapped in a blizzard, stay in the car. If you are on a regular traffic route you will probably soon be rescued. Going for help could be too risky.

Survival Afloat: Rafts, boats and dinghies are built to carry a limited number. These numbers should not be exceeded. Place infants and the infirm aboard, and as many able-boclied as can be accomodated. The rest must hang on in the water, frequently swopping places with fit survivors in the raft.
