Don’t get caught outside (or floating in water) 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, a backcountry ski trip or even falling overboard on a fishing or boating trip. It could even be a common winter experience: Your car stalls, you get lost, or snowed in.
NOTE: The two photos show the older desert camo outside/orange inside. Currently we only sell a darker camo outside/silver inside (LAND/Shark - Stealthbag) or bright orange outside/silver inside (LAND/Shark).
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.
The aluminized coating helps reflect up to 80% of radiated body heat.
Note: Bright orange outside/silver inside and darker camo outside/silver inside are currently being sold.
