Staying Alive Cold - Kit (SACKit)

[Silverback]

Rough handling doesn't just help with afterdrop it can cause VF which in turn may lead to Cardiac Arrest...although Hypothermia is at least one of the 8 reversible causes of cardiac arrest. Sounds like a good book....no substitiute for experience though - I may grab a copy and add it to my CPD file

Just one pice of advice. If you try this in a jerven bag, set the candle up in your cooking pot to avoid burning the bag. It will be a lot more steady and controllable that way...and safer if you doze off...

Nice one !Rune!But what I want to know is were Sue is going to put "Her cookin Pot"??when she is in her Lycra running gear.????lol!

Ah that cooking pot tip is for when you are in the Jerven Bag.

That is a different variation.

But boy is it a good one when you are wet and cold and it is -40C outside and gale force winds... Oh yes. CAAAANDLE IIIN the JEEEERRRVEN BAG!

What is a Jerven Bag?

Well, it's one of these

Best piece of kit I have ever had the good fortune of getting myself. Worth every coin!

You can use it as a sleeping bag. Or a sleeping bag cover when it's raining, or windy or just bad weather. It's actually so strong you can use it as a hammock if need be. You can make it into a stretcher, you can use it as a bivi bag, you can make it into a tent, you can use it as a hammock sock, or under quilt, or top quilt, you can use it as a poncho, or as a tarp. You can take two or more and make a tent. Etc ad infinitum

I wold go as far as to say it's impossible to freeze to death if you are inside one in European weather conditions...

Yeah, you'd have to be pretty hapless to freeze to death in a Jerven Bag...
