Emergency Blankets and Recon Sleeping Bags
Probable the most common customer that buy the Recon Sleeping Bags are people in the Civil Air Patrol and Emergency Services. Search and Rescue is a big part of the the Civil Air Patrol and many times, during rescue missions, those that are out on foot checking mountain sides might have to expect to stay out over night and resume their mission at first sunlight. Temperatures can vary dramatically between day time and night time and many times, even in the summer, it can get pretty cold in valleys and forrest. Being able to pack light and reduce fatigue is a reality all experienced hikers and foot traveling campers learn and there really aren’t a lot of inexpensive options. Sure those $5 or less emergency blankets can save your life, but that aren’t consider re-useable.
Just like storing something food that has a long shelf life, and rotating out some of the product on camping trips, using your emergency survival stuff and practice, during a camping trip like the Recon Sleeping bags can remind you of the tolerances you might have in different weather situations and if needed during a rescue or survival situation, you will build confidence in the equipment you are using. The Recon 2 Sleeping bag isn’t for Arctic weather, but if you are wearing heavier clothing and use a sleeping bag like this, you might get more out of it than what the sleeping bag is rated for and considering the size of this sleeping bag, it might be a better and easier transportation option than getting the Recon 5 Sleeping bag.
