Bedding

Today's Assignment

Add bedding to your disaster kit

Some ideas:
*bedding should be warm, lightweight, comfortable, waterproof and compact
*Sleeping bag ( 2-2 1/2lb hollow-fill)
* Insulation to protect you from the cold ground. This goes under your sleeping bag ( foam pad, poncho, ground cloth, newspaper)
* Blankets- can be used to make a bed roll. Wool retain their warming ability even when wet.
* Space blanket or bag- retain body heat, impervious to moisture
