In Episode 266, host Liz Schmidt sits down with Lili Colby, Industry & Outreach Representative at Mustang Survival, for a deep‑dive into personal water safety and the essential care required to keep your inflatable lifejacket performing at its best offshore. Together, they break down what mariners should know about maintaining inflatable PFDs, how to inspect your gear before every hitch, and the simple habits that ensure your PPE is truly ready when you need it most.
Lili shares Mustang Survival’s decades of expertise in life‑saving equipment, offering practical guidance on CO₂ cylinder checks, oral inflation tests, re‑arming kits, and the signs that your inflatable may need service or replacement. She also highlights common mistakes mariners make with their gear — and how to avoid them — so you can stay confident in your equipment whether you’re on deck, in transit, or working in challenging conditions.
