This is a black scout quick tip this quick tip is on how to make your pants into a flotation device this technique is taught to all basically trained marines and in 1995 lance corporal zachary mayo fell off his ship overboarding to pacif into the pacific ocean where he survived for 36 hours using this technique until.

He was rescued let's go over the technique all right now what you're going to do for this technique is to obviously take your trousers off you're going to tie your bottom of your legs into a square knot you're then going to take the waist of your trousers.

And swing it over your head to capture as much air as you possibly can at that point your trousers are going to be inflated you're going to take the knot and put it at the back of your neck then hold the waist of your pants and you'll stay afloat just make sure you keep.

Your trouser legs dry i mean wet don't let them get dry because you will sink but this was another black scout quick tip thanks for watching
