Trapped on a small raft with nothing but a hook made of old plastic, players awake on a vast, blue ocean totally alone and with no land in sight! With a dry throat and an empty stomach, survival will not be easy, but there are small glimmers of hope: abandoned settlements and notes left behind hint that there may still be someone else out there.
Raft throws you and your friends into an epic adventure out on the big open sea, with the objective to stay alive, gather resources and build yourself a floating home worthy of survival. And who knows... Maybe you will have a hand to play in saving humankind.
I have these two variations, 1 with the large text box on the front, the other without. Both of mine were packed by the Continental Can Company. I have seen another variation that were packed by the Charms company.
Any way to date when each variation was made? Based on youtube videos and another discussion on this site, I'm assuming all variations contain 12 packs of Charms candy, plus some additional loose Charms, and possibly some gum. But after reading about how other rations were packed, it all depends on what they had in stock to pack that day.
12 rolls of charms, 1 roll of loose charms, 6 2-packs of wrigleys pk gum, 10 B vitamin pills and a piece of paper that says, " the contents of this can have been chosen for their life-sustaining value. candy gives you food energy. vitamins give you other necessary food ( mine has a typo and actually says "tood" ) elements. chewing gum keeps your mouth moist and fresh. one to two packages of candy and one vitamin tablet should be eaten by each man each day. the chewing gum should be used as needed. the food in this can will feed 5 or 6 men for one day or one man for 5 or 6 days. it should be saved for later if fish are caught. do not open another can until contents of this can are gone, as candy and vitamin tablets must not be allowed to get wet."
"the contents of this can have been found, by tests on rafts at sea, to be the best solid food for eating while living on a life raft. one to two packages of candy and one vitamin pill should be eaten each day by each man. chewing the gum will help keep your mouth clean. the food in this can is intended to feed five or six men for one day or one man for five or six days. carefully open the sealed bags so that they may be used to protect the uneaten components. do not open another can until the contents of this can have been eaten, as the candy and vitamins pills must not be allowed to get wet. the candy, vitamin tablets, and gum should be saved for later use if fish are caught."
First let me start by saying that I'm not going divulge too much technical information since I have that in the forth coming volume for my chapter on rations. It is condensed as I eliminate all the science and laboratory chatter only detailing why they were made and when they were adopted with amendments citing specification dates and production figurescouples with wonderful color and vintage images.
When noted from other sources they generically state 1940-1945 principally because they don't know, which is okay since we don't know many things in a variable of categories. On the individual packed Charms candies the date of 1940 is a copyright date and NOT a date of manufacture. Here are the basics, these life raft rations were adopted in 1943 with amendments to specification and is why we see some measure of variation. They follow ration development of the US Navy, the tablet ration, utilizing the naval nutritional research that pushed the Army along. It became the standard of all overwater equipment for the USAAF. They were packed in 1943, 1944 and 1945, the bulk was conducted in 1944. They cost a whopping .48 cents each. The variants are a lineage or genealogy. When the volume becomes available you will have 52 pages of fun filled factoids about aviation related emergency rations and other related ration assemblies.
So, I've done no formal research on the evolution of Charms candy labels. There is the Copyright of 1940 type from posts four and six. Here is of a type from a Copyright of 1944. I do not know if there is a pattern in between or not. This 1944 label comes from an Emergency Parachute Ration that had been opened, it is how I obtained it, which I thought was pretty cool since they left the contents intact making for a great illustration.
If in fact, there were no label changes between 1940 and 1944 then it would make total sense that these earlier types were predominant in the Life Raft Ration from the packing in 1943 and 1944. However, they were packed in 1945 which would lend credence that there are some out there that have this 1944 copyrighted Charms. Speaking for myself, I can never bear to open any sealed rations to investigate leaving it to you brave souls that can go through with it.
i only open things that have had rough lives, if they've made it this long pristine i let them be. i opened this last one because its face melted off at some point and i found a nicer can to replace it in my display. perfectly preserved though, i ate the hell out of the loose charms and they were damned good!
I think that you'll find all Life Raft Rations packed by Charms Co. will have six Charms packages per sealed cellophane (x2). I have yet to see the Continental packed cans with this application, which is a significant detail for production timelines.
The research and development of a hard candy ration coincided between that of the USAAF and Bureau of Aeronautics from both of their related medical laboratories. Additionally, there was an exchange of information and a collective of representatives of those branches during field tests. It is interesting the path that each service took. Arguably the Navy tablet ration is better by nutritional factors. The Navy tablet ration incorporated fat and protein content whereas the AAF ration did not. The AAF ration namely consisted of strait up carbohydrates from starch and sugar ramping up calories. The vitamin included in the AAF ration was just elements of B. The Navy multi vitamin included A, B and C. The AAF ration later incorporated vitamin C with the formula of the tablet candies, as noted above.
Always noted, the BuAer was always weight and space conscience for aircraft equipment to which the AAF was not always expressive of that fact. The adopted tablet ration for the BuAer was that of an allotment of three per man, about half the space consumption of the AAF life raft type. Their concept was one tablet tin per day (three days rations) but could be rationed to extend to six days or more. The AAF type, and clearly noted, five to six days per man. Concluded in medical studies, rations were not as important as water, so the Navy tablet was merely to maintain some level of energy and body fat. But probably more important was that the Navy tablet ration was intended to be universal for inclusion in all emergency equipment, thus making BuAer emergency ration development very short and sweet. The AAF liked to specialize to some degree making for a very convoluted history.
In a comparative view of the like type of emergency hard candy ration, each Navy tablet contained about 460 calories making for a total allotment per man 1380 cal. The AAF ration contained a total of 2146 calories. The Navy tablet ration had a bigger bang for its buck, if we were to double the allotment to that of six tins (equal to the size of the AAF) it would provide 2760 calories, and providing protein, fat, and a vitamins A, B and C over that of the AAF type. Another arguable factor of why the Navy concept is better was that the contents would not be as compromised once opened. Theoretically, one tablet would be opened for one day's consumption, but also allows for better extended rationing if needed. The AAF type would require the opening of the ration of the full six days just for one day, therefor leaving the remaining contents open for exposure and potential loss, not nearly as efficient.
Eventually the AAF did come around to the deficiencies of the Life Raft Ration in which they did begin a process to revise it loosely following that of the Navy tablet type, it then had evolved into post war development of survival rations of the SA and ST series. Go to Personal Equipment board or general search board and search Survival Rations where I did a post highlighting the new types developed in the late 1940's used into the Korean conflict.
Here is an illustration of the revised complement of rations for life rafts eliminating the Life Raft Ration type. The above noted topic illustrates those types and their contents. Cannot tell what designated ration (SA or ST) are seen here.
Life rafts are much easier to launch than lifeboats. In emergencies, evacuation from the ship can be done without manually launching any of them, as the life rafts are designed with an auto-inflatable system.
The particulars of the raft are stencilled on the container, which includes the capacity, manufacturing date, servicing date, company name, etc., along with the launching procedure with a photogenic display for easy understanding.
1.4 Cargo ships where the horizontal distance from the extreme end of the stem or stern of the ship to the nearest end of the closest survival craft is more than 100 m shall carry, in addition to the liferafts required by paragraphs 1.1.2 and 1.2.2, a liferaft stowed as far forward or aft, or one as far forward and another as far aft, as is reasonable and practicable. Such liferaft or liferafts may be securely fastened so as to permit manual release and need not be of the type which can be launched from an approved launching device.
Raft Survival: Multiplayer is an online survival game where players control a shipwreck survivor who finds himself trapped in the middle of the ocean on a wooden raft with other survivors (no more than 10) controlled by players around the world. Your only goal is to survive. This is no easy task as, in addition to trying to avoid being eaten by the giant sharks swimming around the raft, you will also have to find a way to produce sustenance to feed yourself, drink and rest.
