An Australian story worth getting behind
SURVIVAL has been a family business since 1988. That long connection with everyday preparedness gives its story a natural place in the YouSail community: people making plans, learning new skills and finding ways to look after one another along the way.
What draws us to the brand is its attention to the experience of using a kit. Clear labels, colour coding and organised compartments give the contents a deliberate home. It is a thoughtful design approach, with an emphasis on making supplies easier to find.
Good organisation belongs aboard
Anyone who has packed a boat knows the pleasure of getting the small details right. A place for the torch. A familiar locker for the wet-weather gear. Equipment that the crew can locate without a lengthy explanation. SURVIVAL’s focus on organisation fits beautifully into that way of thinking.
For us, that is an exciting quality in a company: considering how a product fits into real life. A clearly arranged kit is something you can get familiar with together before the lines come off and the day begins.
A connection to life on the water
SURVIVAL gives boating its own space in the range. Its marine collection includes the Ocean Warrior First Aid KIT and the Boaties First Aid Bundle, offering a useful starting point for exploring the company’s approach to adventures afloat.
The Ocean Warrior has a particularly memorable connection to the sea: it was developed with Australian big-wave surfer Mark Visser. SURVIVAL describes it as designed to float and supplied with a waterproof dry bag. It is a lovely example of the brand thinking about the setting where its equipment will travel.

If you are getting to know your boat, planning weekends away or building towards a bigger voyage, take a moment to discover the people and thinking behind SURVIVAL. There is plenty to appreciate in a company that puts preparation at the heart of getting out there.
