Getting a sale on some life saving equipment is great.. however, at the end of the day, if you value your life, less than saving 200 bucks, some self reflection might be in order.. Seems like a no brainer to me.. now... in my younger years risks were a plenty and this conversation would be different.. Today.. wife.. a 4 year old.. and a life worth living.. eh.. some precautions are prudent I suppose
My ditch bag now gives my crew and myself the best chance in a catastrophic scenario. I pray, it will never be used.
