I recently purchased a Coglan brand Metal foil Bivy bag. The plan is to add this item to my emergency kit. Any thoughts on how to package this item so that it will be easy to use if required? The factory packaging would be difficult to open if you have been numbed by cold. It has a soldered seam on all 4 sides of the package. There are a couple of "vent holes" punched in the packaging by the factory, so its definitely not waterproof. It looks like it was probably vacuum packed. As a result it may expand somewhat if I break the package open. Any thoughts on ideal packing? Will getting this item soaked make it stick together? Is perfect waterproofing of this item required? Any additional thoughts? Derek --------------------------------------------------------------- Please limit all email attachments sent to this address to a maximum of 0.5MB.
