Adventure Medical Kits has released the Thermo-Lite® 2 Bivvy and Heatsheets® Emergency Bivvy (sic). “When you’re in the outdoors, you have to remember that you’re playing by nature’s rules,” says AMK’s marketing director Frank Meyer. “Whether it’s a hurricane, snowstorm or an avalanche, you have to be prepared that things can and will go wrong and that, when they do, help may be hours or even days away.” “Having a contingency plan for the outdoors,” Meyer added, “and the right gear, like the items contained in AMK’s Essentials line, is a away for our customers to prepare now to survive later.”

The Thermo-Lite® 2 Bivvy
AMK’s best-selling survival item of the last few years has been improved by making it 1.5 oz. lighter and 30% stronger than the material used in the original. The bivvy sack is a light-weight replacement for a sleeping bag, when nighttime temperatures are 50° F or higher or as an emergency survival bivvy for wintertime activities. The new bivvy features the stronger Thermo-Lite® 2 material on the bottom to withstand rocky terrain and hard-packed snow conditions. It is easily repaired with duct tape should it ever sustain a tear. The 6.5 oz. Thermo-Lite® 2 Bivvy’s design retains 80% body heat and can be opened at top, bottom and side to allow moisture and heat to escape.

NEW! Heatsheets® Emergency Bivvy
Weighing in at a meager 3.5 ounces, the Heatsheets® Emergency Bivvy is now available with an ultralight stuff sack, allowing for repeat use. It is made from a newly developed polyethylene material that is vacuum-metalicized to reflect back 90% body heat. Also in the Heatsheets® line, AMK has added the Heatsheets® Emergency Blanket. The compact 2.5 oz. Blanket is quiet, durable and easy to fold out and fold up, even when you’re wearing gloves; suitable for one person, the Emergency Blanket can also be used as a temporary shelter during inclement weather. Featuring a bright orange color, the Blanket is 20% larger than many other survival blankets and comes with survival and first aid instructions printed in English and French on the back.
