It’s very lightweight, worn like a belt, and retails at £56.48 | Practical Boat Owner | Facebook

⚠️🛟OPEN WATER SURVIVAL🛟⚠️ How to use your clothing as a flotation device! Please share. And yes, it doesn’t get lost on me that this is MUCH easier in a pool vs the open ocean—but this information was taught to me and it can help in a survival situation. Remember to keep anything and everything that can be useful in some way (think shoelaces, drawstrings, etc.) Sometimes survival depends on your ability to use what you have and be resourceful in the environment you’re in. #watersafety #safety
