Jim Connolly
I have a 37 year career in corporate aviation. Most of that time was spent managing and supervising a survival equipment repair station, dealing with recertifying life rafts, life vests, and survival kits. Adhering to strict government regulations.
I traveled to all the major manufacturers of these units and learned the latest innovations. Transferring this knowledge to flight crews, teaching them how to survive after an emergency landing with the equipment provided in their life raft survival kits.
Be it in a life raft, desert, frozen or jungle environment. I have trained them all and know exactly what is needed in any situation.
We're here to keep you and your loved ones safe
Raising two children and sending them a thousand miles away to college was stressful. Even though they are self sufficient, when they had to evacuate campus several times due to approaching hurricanes, I decided to make them a go bag. That's where Exit Strategy One was formed. We figured all should have some peace of mind when facing an emergency situation. That's why we put together a kit that contains the most essential gear you will need in the smallest pack size possible.
Keeping our family safe
As we all know, having a child away from home at school is a stressful situation for most parents. Add in a tropical storm bearing down on their school and mandatory school evacuations, anxiety hits an all-time high. Many parents have experienced this first hand, myself included, and I wanted a solution to know my child has the tools and items necessary for their safety and survival.
