Survival Purpose
One of the primary survival priorities in an evacuation scenario is to keep out of extreme elements and keep your body at a healthy temperature. Having a warm sleeping bag for your emergency shelter can make a huge difference in getting rest and staying comfortable at night.
A durable, lightweight sleeping bag is required for a comfortable night. At just shy of 4 pounds this mummy bag is made of high-quality material: 70D 100 Percent polyester, 2.2 ounce/yard; 70D 100 Percent embossed polyester, 2.2 ounce/yard with coated shell makes the sleeping bag ultra soft, waterproof and rip-stop, So it can keep you warm even in extreme weather and prevent you from any dampness. They feature a dual-zipper design: a full-length anti-snag main zipper, plus a second fold-down zipper for added ventilation and easy access. The anatomically shaped footbox minimizes heat buildup and gives you plenty of room to wiggle your toes, flex your feet, and find a comfy sleeping position. The top portion is built for maximum loft and warmth, the bottom portion retains a blanket-like feel for all-night comfort, and the 3D hood can be adjusted to optimize heat retention.
We use our high-end sleeping bags a lot on backpacking overnighters. The one universal lesson we've learned is that spending time in the outdoors after a bad night's sleep is MISERABLE. Being comfortable, warm and getting a good night's sleep is PARAMOUNT to keeping it together during the days. If you have the budget, this is one area we highly recommend investing in a great high-end sleeping bag.
What We Like
- Light Weight - At just under 4 pounds the mummy bag and stuff sack make a great addition to a go-bag.
- Designed for Mobility - Once stowed in its bag the sleeping bag fits snuggly in a pack for on-the-go mobility.
- Water Resistant - The polyester shell and fill offer some resistance to water and even when wet the bag continues to insulate to some degree.
Tips and Recommendations
- Trial Run - Take it camping so you know how to set it up and stow it away after.
- Store It Dry - If you use it, put it away clean and dry so it doesn't mildew.
- Put It Back - If you use it, put it back. Emergency gear has a tendency to walk off when raided for common use.
- Comfort Is Key - When you set it up you're goal is to make a great night's sleep. Find a place on the ground where you can put your pad and be the most comfortable.
