may be comfortable, but it should never be worn for comfort. It is designed to guarantee your safety in an emergency situation and provide you with warmth.
This bag is for carrying things. Slide it in from the end to open and close. It can't be opened from the side. don't have it in front of me, but I seem to recall it being 7' x 3'. Space blankets are usually thin, but this one is much thicker.
Without a doubt! Roll it up and put it back in the bag after you have used it.
Unlike a sleeping bag, it does not have a bottom. The blanket is all that's needed. Having it in the back of my SUV or car was very handy for throwing in an emergency bag. Should the traffic be backed up for extended periods of time, I might find it useful to keep the chill off and to prevent shock if someone is injured.

It was part of my emergency get home bag that I bought this bivy. This was a 2-minute test I had just done on a 1. 7-inch As part of the day hike, I looked into whether a tarp shelter would provide the shelter I would need for sleeping in an emergency. The bivy I wore on Night 1 worked when it dropped to 70 degrees and 60% and was fine until my skin got in contact with its From 50 degrees to 32 degrees in a matter of hours on Night 2. Problems from the previous night prevailed, however the biggest problem was condensation that the bivy sac trapped as a result of your body heat. A pool of condensation forms when the condensation cools. This moisture will remove heat from your body if it ever comes into contact with it. In conclusion, this bag is good for keeping body heat inside another shelter, but I do not recommend you use it to cover your head, as condensation can occur. If you plan to use it solely for your car or home, do not replace your tent and sleeping bag with it. After rolling about for a night or two, the thin material will start to wear out.
A rebate should be sent to me in return for a review, not a rebate. The gift was purchased to give to a homeless man who wanders around in I only peeked into the little bag, but didn't remove the product because I was giving it away and he wanted to see how it was packaged, etc. I can't speak for very much about it since I didn't remove the product. It seemed like the material was fairly Now that I have the Mylar blankets in my car, I can take them anywhere. Despite that, I believe it is a much better product. It feels much more durable than Mylar. As a safety precaution, I am planning on ordering several more so that each passenger (and the dog) will have a bottle in the event of an accident, although I hope I won't need any.
In my mind, I was planning to give him a butane burner, but it might not be safe, particularly if they were hiking, and especially if they were in the sun, because I can see a possibility of a butane can exploding. As a result, I looked for another item that could be very handy and useful. It caught my attention the most when I saw the sleeping bags, but the bivy sack caught my eye the most. Though they are too small, and I'm not sure he will like it, I still bought it. When I handed it to him, I couldn't help but giggle. opened it curiously and was amazed when he saw what it was. According to him, it is convenient and will reduce the weight of the bag he offers to It has a pretty loud whistle too, so in case of an emergency it is helpful. Colors would be a welcome add-on, if there would be a variety for us to select. Still, it is a perfect fit.
When I took it out for a test run, I saw at least a couple of tears, so it's likely to be used only once and not durable enough to take up any An alternative would be to use the surplus of the armed forces.
The package opened up easily and I was then able to pack it in the carry bag with little effort. There is something better for you if you want something you can keep on using over and over again. As long as you are just looking for an emergency bivy to keep in your hiking pack without ever using it, then this appears to be a good option.
I was very happy to receive the blanket from my daughter. The emergency blanket was lightweight and compact enough to carry in her backpack. Since she hikes a lot, she loved having it on hand. She will have access to it if needed, which makes me glad as a mother. My sincere thanks go out to.
I'm not the same kind of guy as my cousin, who is all about the outdoors. Having to camp with all the wild animals that come along with it makes me nervous. He had been urging me to go just for one trip, and I had to buy such a cover to feel safe in case anything went wrong. As an SOS, I appreciate having a whistle with it, and the use of orange makes sense because it makes it easier to spot.
It is good to have on hand in the event of an emergency.
