| Keywords: outdoor 80-CF-827-3-11: Life-Saving Equipment. Emergency Fishing Kit, April 19, 1943. No longer do castaways on a life raft need to fear starvation and thirst. A simple, compact, complete, and fool-proof Emergency Fishing Kit is now standard equipment on all lifeboats, rafts, and planes of Navy, Army, and Merchant Marine. Hooks, lines, lures, spear, bait, and a net provide the means to catch food. In addition, the flesh of fish can be squeezed to provide drinking fluid. The kit was originated by Gifford Pinchot and developed by Michael Lerner, S. Kip Farrington, and Philip Wylie. Shown: A large fish is caught on a castaway hook, (left), and the center man in the boat, seeing it to be large, prepares to spear it with the oar blade fitted with a spear end from the kit.
