[PUP] Emergency survival in high latitudes

[Truelove39 at aol.com]

This link to an informative article  was sent to me by a listee - just 
passing it along. It explains the delay in  getting helos to the site.
 
My original post was prompted by my  surprise at two apparent facts: 
 
1. The lengthy time it took to reach the crash site (explained in  this 
article)
2. A survival suit is "only" good for an hour or so in winter  waters.
 
Having been through ice over deep water, struggling for several  minutes to 
get back up onto it, followed by a 45 minute walk home, I have no  desire to be 
un-prepared again! 
 
Regards,
