How would you do if you found yourself in an emergency situation on your next camping trip? When things don’t go quite as planned you can find yourself in some possibly dangerous places to be.
However you end up in a predicament like this, there are plenty of ways to protect yourself from the elements. Having some form of shelter can be the difference of life and death in harsher environments. Building a lean-to is an ideal shelter but what if there are no natural supplies around?
Sportsman has an emergency tent and sleeping bag kit that will surely get you by in a rough situation.
Get Prepared
This emergency kit by Sportsman has exactly what you need to set up your shelter in no time at all. It includes your survival tent along with a sleeping bag to double up on insulation. The kit even comes with paracord which allows you to hang it up. In order to be the most functional, this kit is extremely lightweight at just half of a pound and all the contents fit in the resealable bag that it comes in. Both the tent and sleeping bag are made out of mylar for its thermal protection and the tent has floor attached to it, keeping you from direct contact with the ground. In addition to keeping you warm the material is also reflective, making it much easier to spot lost campers in the great outdoors.
Even if you don’t see yourself needing this for the camping that you do, it is still a great idea to have this set around maybe in your first aid kit or perhaps a bug out bag if you have one, just to be safe.
Specs of the Sportsman Emergency Shelter
The tent set up is 105 inches long by 56 inches wide, the sleeping bag is 78.5 inches by 36 inches. The kit also includes 21 feet of string to use for hanging the tent. Sportsman has a lifetime guarantee on their emergency shelters. So if you do have to use it and you don’t like it, they will give you a full refund.
Replace your kit after using it to give yourself the best chance the next time you need a shelter.
