Rucksack / Bergen Liner (Strong Survival / Bushcraft Bags)

Waterproof Rucksack / Bergen Liner (Strong Survival / Bushcraft Bags): 4 ft deep!
When I joined the T.A. Paras many years ago I found a fantastic bag that makes a brilliant bergen-liner and also has lots of other uses. I bought lots of them for my mates and I over the last few years and now I'm selling off a few thousand because I remember how hard it is to find a decent bag for this sort of thing.
These are good, strong, large, transparent, watertight polythene bags ideal for use as a rucksack liner and multiple-application survival aid.
Bushcraft and survival experts agree that the clear polythene bag is mankinds' greatest invention. Water damages things and conducts heat 25 times faster than air, so waterproofing is everything.
Uses include:
- Rucksack / bergen liner
- Condense and collect evapourated drinking water from leafy branches or moist ground: huge bag to cover a huge evapouration area
- Collecting rainwater (this bag has a very large surface area)
- Emergency water carrier (and food carrier)
- Fill it with air and use as a life-saving floatation aid
- Make headhole and wear as an emergency survival poncho, helping to keep you warm and dry outdoors.
- Insert your feet and legs to keep you dry in an emergency river crossing under 4ft deep
- To help build a waterproof personal survival shelter in emergencies
- Keeping your other kit dry in outdoors or in camp
- Place your rucksack inside to keep it dry in severe wet conditions or river crossings (also floats!)
- Map Case - simply fold it around your map for a waterproof, transparent and convenient map-cover while you're on the move.
- You can see inside it to instantly find where items are.
- Fits into all rucksacks - with slack to twist and fold into a watertight seal.
- Polythene naturally expands to fill the exact shape of your rucksack, maximising space.
- Packs down into almost no space at all. You can carry lots of them for different uses.
- Ideal for Special Forces, infantry units, Airborn forces, army reservists & T.A. soldiers, for hiking, camping ... ideal for all survivalists and bushcraft & outdoors enthusiasts.
- Why use an expensive purpose-made rucksack liner that can't be used for anything else? Survival and bushcraft are about improvisation. There is no room on any expedition for something that only does one job.
These are so cheap you can buy two and double-layer if you need extra strength. Or use one as a rucksack liner and another for your survival kit.
