Two crew members from the 62-ft catamaran Parlay Revival spend 48 hours in an old, decommissioned life raft to simulate survival conditions.1:26 The raft fails to inflate automatically due to a corroded hose, requiring manual inflation.4:00 Once deployed and moored a safe distance from the vessel, the raft proves difficult to inhabit; the floor seam tears, the structure remains constantly unstable in light wind and chop, and the interior light cannot be deactivated.10:22 The occupants utilize an Iridium Go Exec to maintain communication and test survival gear, including a solar charger, fishing line, and rainwater collection system.9:17 They report extreme discomfort, sleep deprivation, and difficulty performing basic tasks like using the bathroom or moving within the confined space.12:34 The exercise demonstrates that even in calm conditions, a life raft provides a physically taxing and psychologically challenging environment.
