I thought that I should pass this information on anybody who carries a survival bag in the outdoors. I just opened my 'Highlander' Survival Bag as the bag it was in had got wet and I thought that I'd better dry it out. I have been carrying it, unused and unopened for several years. You can imagine my surprise when I found out how small it was: just 84cms x 55cms. Only just big enough to put my rucksac into, but certainly not myself.
So, I had been walking around thinking that I had a viable survival barrier when in fact I had nothing of the sort.
Please pass this information to anybody you know who may be carrying such a bag, as it could be vital for their safety.
Here's a photos of the offending item:
