Survival shelter

I agree for 69 bucks thats one to throw in the ruck forget about, definitely a value.

Although that bit about wrapping yourself in it while in the water so sharks won't attack you...negligible. Sharks bite first then figure out if they want to eat the rest.

I agree with you, they are still prone to the ole bite and see, kinda like my wife and a box of chocolates! She bites to see if she like em, then leaves them, or eats them!!!

Their idea is that since it's a bag, you just climb on in and the sharks can't "sense" you (ie no blood or bodily fluids in the water). This way they are more prone to leaving you alone.. Tha being said, there is nothing 100% when dealing with sharks except to stay out of the water!!

I know alot of the time I just end up with a debre shelter, the only things I remove are some brush, and occansionally take down a sappling that the branches came from, And I find my axe does most if not all my work, My knife is more less there to look at

Man, that Land-hark looks interesting. Rescue Mike, have you used one? On paper it looks pretty good.

Yes I've used 'em, It only got down to 20 degrees that night, and we were NOT allowed to bring any type of shelter or sleeping pad, or sleeping bag! This was all had.. Well, this and a big ole WHITEMAN fire!

And these aren't disposable. They really will hold up to repeated use, you can get them out of the package one handed (important if you get injured) and they are completely waterproof.

Just a note on using the Land Shark in water... Looks like an interesting idea, and would probably keep you warmer as it would keep water that your body had warmed from flowing away. Would be useful in a life raft (in cooler areas) for keeping warm and keeping the sun off of you.

On the other hand, aluminized reflector or no, if the thing is only sticking up about 10" from the water, it is not going to make a decent radar reflector. What you would want for that would be a "Rescue Kite" holding an aluminum-covered foam lightweight radar reflector. Assuming you had 8 knots of wind, this would get the radar reflector (or strobe light, for non-boating purposes) up into the air where people can see it.
