An emergency survival sleeping bag, like the S.O.L. Survive Outdoors Longer Emergency Bivvy  provides protection in any emergency and in any weather.  Pull out your portable survival shelter in your car while you are waiting for help to arrive.  Whether you bug in or bug out, an emergency survival sleeping bag and portable shelter needs to be part of your family’s emergency kits.

PRO TIP: Combine an emergency survival sleeping bag with a *this post contains affiliate links light weight sleeping bag pad to prevent the cold from the ground from leeching in.  The egg carton construction of this pad will also work to trap warm air close to your body.

Emergency Survival Sleeping Bags Improve Your Odds Of Survival In Outdoor Emergencies

Forced to spend an unexpected night or two outdoors after an emergency?  The S.O.L. Emergency Bivvy provides protection from rain, wind and snow with it’s unique mummy shaped design, that reflects 90% of your body heat back to you. Because the bivvy has a zipper, you can use it to add a bit of ventilation if things get too hot in there.     It’s also a bright orange to help any rescuers find you easily.

The Difference Between An Emergency Survival Sleeping Bag And A Mylar Blanket.

If you’ve ever used a mylar blanket, you know how loud and prone to tearing they are.  Add a bit of wind and you spend your time trying to keep it from flapping and flying away.  Unlike a mylar blanket, a bivvy is reusable too.

Perfect For You Vehicle Emergency Kit

If, like me, you live in a cold weather state, but don’t have a lot of room in your car for a big emergency vehicle kit, an emergency survival sleeping bag is just what you are looking for.  Instead of having a traditional sleeping bag or bulky blanket, snuggle into your bivvy to stay warm until help arrives.

Survive a Winter Power Outage

Staying warm during winter power outages can be a challenge, that even traditional sleeping bags can’t handle.  An emergency survival sleeping bag, added to your traditional sleeping bag will keep you safe until the power comes back on.

Why Worry About Preparing?

Preparedness for a disaster makes a lot of sense. With recent and predicted events like Hurricane Sandy, The Colorado Wildfires, Fiscal Cliffs, and rising food and gas costs just in 2012 there is no denying that things are changing in our world. Whether or not you believe "The End of the World As We Know It" is near there are plenty of everyday things to worry about: loss of a job, health emergency, local weather events to name a few.

I find that I worry less about the big "what if's" out there the more emergency planning my family does to deal with the unexpected. I will share the survival tips and tricks I have learned while on this preparedness journey and hope that you join in with lots of comments. We all have a lot to learn from one another.

Now, lets get started prepping! Pick a post and start reading. At the end of every post the blog randomly selects three more survival posts for you to check out. Set aside 10 minutes a day to build your preppers knowledge base. We can never be done learning or prepping, right?
