“Wonderful product! I have watched Richard work on this project for over 2 years. The wife and I have them in our car. Although we have never used them it gives us peace of mind to know they are there. We travel back and forth from Idaho to California multiple times a year in all kinds of weather. Living in California you never know when a wildfire or earthquake may happen! I am a retired California firefighter with over 35 years on the job and an avid hunter. I do believe a MAD Bivy could save a life!”

“Yo! I moved to Boise two weeks ago and have been sleeping in my truck till I get a few paychecks so I tried out the bivy sack last night! Holy crap it made such a difference! The only part of me that was still cold was my knee because it was pressed against the bivy and the back of my seat. It was probably 20 degrees last night and I was sleeping like a baby! Amazing product, 10/10 would recommend!”

“I love this product! Its lightweight, compact, and technically superior design makes it the Ideal multipurpose survival/preparedness product and bivy for outdoor enthusiasts, backcountry, extreme sportsmen, military aviators, and special operators, home and car preparedness kits, disaster preparedness organizations, and a solution for the homeless. It comes in three custom sizes: Small 1.2 Lbs. Medium 1.4 Lbs. and Large 1.7 Lbs. Unlike a mylar style product many folks have in their hunting pack or survival/preparedness kit, this product delivers extreme unmatched, sheer and tear resistance with an ultra-packable and compact 4mm thickness. These factors as well as the 95% reflective capability, make it far superior to the standard mylar product. When considering a survival or preparedness item, it’s a must to have one item be multi-purpose in one compact and lightweight package.
With my background and training in survival, I understand the importance of a usable and comprehensive survival/preparedness kit, utilizing the 5 C’s of Survivability. This product has 3 of the 5 in one item:
In addition, it can be utilized for the special purposes of:
SIGNALING: Due to its 95% reflectivity.
FIRST AID/ MEDICAL: Use for a sling, tourniquet, splinting, compression, and make-shift litter
WATER PROCUREMENT: Can use as a top sheer for a water still, and water collection when used as a tarp/tent.
CLOTHING: Can be used for both clothing repairs as well as an actual wrap-around emergency garment with included hood.
Having served in many austere, non-permissive and combat environments during my 22+ year career in the US Army as an Infantry NCO and Officer and US Army Ranger Instructor as well as a CIA contractor, I have tested and evaluated this amazing product and give it my wholehearted endorsement.”
