Don’t
get caught outside without a LAND/Shark Instant Survival Shelter!
|
|
“Find
Shelter” are the two words that will keep you alive
if you’re stuck outdoors this winter waiting for help. Exposure can become
life-threatening hypothermia in minutes. It can start innocently enough:
A drive in the country, a walk in the woods, or a backcountry ski trip.
It could even be a common winter experience: Your car stalls, you get
lost, or snowed in.

|
Outdoor
survival experts agree: If you’re going to survive, you’d better find
shelter FAST!
|
|
Even
walking around will build up a sweat. Pretty soon you're shivering. Suddenly,
the conditions are ripe for hypothermia - the involuntary loss of core
body heat. Hypothermia can kill in only 65-degrees
Fahrenheit. Windy, wet conditions, including perspiration, can
quickly turn exposure into fatal hypothermia - even in mild temperatures.
Your best defense is to find shelter that's warm, dry and out of the wind.
Survival experts also warn against building a shelter that requires anything
more than minimal effort, because it will only work up a chilling sweat
and hasten the onset of hypothermia.
Stored in its water, vapor and grease-proof vacuum sealed pouch, the ultra-lightweight LAND/Shark Instant Survival Shelter measures only 6" x 8" x 1" and weighs a mere 18 oz. (0.5 kg.). When needed, it opens to a windproof, waterproof, heat-retaining roomy 36" x 84" (91.4 cm x 213.4 cm) thermal cocoon that provides full body coverage, even over heavy outerwear and boots. It then protects you from exposure and helps you maintain a life-sustaining core body temperature until help arrives. |

How
the LAND/Shark works:
|
|
The
LAND/Shark is constructed of a micro-thin layer of aluminized film laminated
to a (Woodland camo pattern StealthBag or International Orange
Land/Shark), resilient composite reinforced, ripstop material. The
aluminized coating reflects up to 80% of radiated body heat. The
tightly-woven ripstop reinforcing and welded seam construction resists tears
and punctures, even from boots and sticks. The LAND/Shark
is completely windproof, waterproof and acts as a vapor barrier.
