THE DIFFERENCE

More Than Thermal Retention:
What a Survival Bivy Really Needs to Do

When it comes to choosing an emergency survival  Bivy, ask yourself if ever faced with an extreme survival scenario…..
  1. Does it provide options and tools beyond basic thermal retention and protection from the elements?
  2. Can it address some of the most common medical emergencies that might force you to use a survival Bivy?
According to Search and Rescue, the 3 most common reasons for extraction are:
  1. FALLS: According to search and rescue volunteers, soft tissue injuries are the number one reason people get stranded, especially joint injuries to knees and ankles, which can turn a manageable situation into a serious survival scenario.
  2. HYPOTHERMIA: In cold environments, hypothermia can begin within 15 minutes. 
  3. DEHYDRATION: Dehydration follows quickly. The right survival gear should offer more than a heat barrier—it should give you options, tools, and time.

This page is about exactly that:

Empowering you with the knowledge and mindset to survive.
