> I have heard big orange bags being recommended, as they can do double duty as windproof vapour-barrier raingear and as a means of signalling. It was me bringing up the request about orange bodyheat-saving-bags a few weeks ago. Till now I carry a Coghlan4s orange PE bag. Last week I taped a gold/silver emergency foil inside the bag, so its now ideal for me. In my origin post few weeks ago, I asked for experience with TPA4s - Thermal Protection Aids. This are a kind of bivouac bag, protecting the whole body, signal coloured and made for shipwrecked persons. Google with TPA thermal protective aid and find several sources. Most TPA4s cost around 30 USD and weight 3-500grams. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
