| Doug Ritter Ultimate Aviator Survival Pak™ |
For years pilots have been asking me to produce a commercial production version of my own Primary 2-Person Aviation Survival Kit. Every year a number of consulting clients who appreciate the best and can afford it have had me assemble custom survival kits for their aircraft and for personal use. However, that is quite expensive. It takes hours and hours of effort to assemble one of these kits on a one-time custom basis. Now you can purchase a standardized version of these same aircraft survival kits, with all the same attention to detail and premium quality components, for a lot less.
My Doug Ritter Aviator Survival Paks™™ were developed to provide descriminating and safety oriented pilots the very best aviation survival kit that they can bet their life on™ at a price that won't break the bank.

| March 19, 2025: I am once again taking orders for my acclaimed Ultimate Aviator Survival Paks™. I am building these kits in batches in order to keep costs down. Orders will be accepted until April 11. Some components have gone up in price and some have come down since last time. I was expecting an 8% increase by now and am pleased to be able to hold it to 2%!
If you would like to place an order which is expected to ship Mid-May, please email me Doug@DougRitter.com the following information: Name, Shipping Address, Billing Address, Email, Cell, How you would like to pay (Check, Wire Transfer or Zelle) and Options desired (see below). I need to get a minimum of four orders for this run at a cost to you of $3,357 each plus Shipping (UPS GROUND - CONUS ONLY, insured which will be billed when ready to ship). I am also taking orders for Replenishment Kits that replace the outdated items in your Ultimate Aviator Survival Pak™. For Paks, the expiration dates are on the tag attached to the kit. For Vests, you can check the dated vacuum packaged components which will have an expiration date. The complete 3- and 5-year replenishment component kit, vacuum packed and expiration dated, ready to pull old vacuum packed modules and replace with new, and including fresh replacement Medical Kit, and Illustrated Instructions for Replenishment for my Ultimate Aviator Survivor Pak costs $566* plus S&H (UPS GROUND - CONUS ONLY, insured which will be billed when ready to ship) The cost for the replenishment component kit for the PLUS 2 module is $465* plus S&H (UPS GROUND - CONUS ONLY, insured which will be billed when ready to ship) If you wish me to install the replenishment kit into your Pak, you will need to ship it to me and there is a charge of $150 per Pak or $250 for a Pak and a +2. I will provide packing and shipping instructions and labels for the box. If you have any questions or if you need one urgently, please email me, but be advised there will be a premium over regular cost for a one-off build.  Click here for a full listing of the UASP contents NOTE below some issues related to availability of certian components. The following options are available: Option: The .5 Module that adds Personal Protection gear for 1 additional person (3 total, packed in the UASP) will add $324. Option: The +2 Add-on Module, which is packed separately in a smaller pack and also includes food and water for an additional 2 people, will be $892. The Plus 2 Add-on Module is designed to be used only in combination with the UASP and is not a stand-alone survival kit. Option: Geatland Laser Green Rescue Laser Flare - provides 50% or more greater range and more noticeable flash: $130 (replaces Red Laser Light) As a result of some requests to add more trauma capability to the medical (first aid) supplies: Option: Upgrade to QuikClot/Celox Z-Fold Gauze - 3" x 5 ft: $35 (brand depends on availability - replaces QuikClot Advanced Clotting Gauze - 3 x 24 inches) Option: Tactical Medical Solutions SOF Tactical Tourniquet and Full-Size EMT Shears (staged for use in a nylon quick access pouch): $78 Payment in full is required in advance once I get enough orders to do a run or if on a one-off basis. We will invoice you and it can be paid by check, wire transfer or Zelle (if you need info on using Zelle, please email me). No, we do not accept credit cards or PayPal. With shipping costs threatening to rise again, we will invoice shipping separately when shipped (at my cost). Shipping is via UPS Ground (continental U.S. only), Direct Signature Required and Insured for the full purchase price. Last time shipping cost varied from $100 to $200 (distance and other factor dependent - shipping to a commercial location saves a few bucks). It should take about 4-6 weeks to build the kits once all payments are received. The long lead items require approximately 3-6 weeks. As always these days, that is subject to supply chain difficulties that I have no ability to predict. Any questions, please email me. Doug@DougRitter.com |
