On this wet February eve I decided to try a hiker survival scenario – lost in the wild and having to spend an unexpected night out with only the contents of my day pack including a survival shelter, but no sleeping bag or sleeping mat. I lasted over 9 hours, and while I was able to keep my body temperature up by means of heat retention of the shelter and generating heat by movement & eating, this was a grim experience and a real eye-opener. Survival is never going to be easy, but some kind of emergency shelter like this gives you more of a fighting chance. *Please note that I was very close to my car for this exercise, able to leave at any time and monitoring my body temperature. Never intentionally put yourself in potential danger without a solid escape plan Take a closer look at my beloved car bed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCdASikaflY ..it's such a cosy and welcome retreat when SHTF 🌿 Love Nature - Always Leave No Trace Thank you so much for watching!
