These sleeping bags protect an individual much more than the basic outdated space blankets. The bags are waterproof and windproof. They retain 90% of your body heat. It doesn't have the openings on the bottom which is where most of the heat is lost in the emergency blankets. Don't settle for anything less than the best.
Search And Rescue Survival Tools
Whether you live on the seaside, a rural area, the suburbs or the city, natural disasters are bound to occur. Natural disasters can range in severity and type and so it is important to not only know the facts pertaining to them but to also prepare yourself with the tools essential to survive, or to help others survive.
After a disaster, you are faced with many obstacles. The situation during the aftermath may call for a search and rescue effort to find and/or help those injured or trapped by the effects of the disaster. Valuable tools (just to name a few) during a mission like the one mentioned, include respirators which protect the wearer from inhaling harmful vapors, gases, fumes and/or dusts, hard hats, to protect the head from serious injury due to falling objects and debris. Work gloves, safety goggles and a good crow bar are also great items to have for search and rescue.
