SURVIVAL BLANKET

A survival blanket especially intended for transporting and holding injured and sick persons consists of a surface element divided into four areas, i.e., a centrally disposed, substantially rectangular body section, an adjacent, also substantially rectangular, smaller or inner fold flap, a similarly adjacent, also substantially rectangular, larger or outer fold flap, and a head section disposed at one end of the body section. On the outside surface of the blanket, along fold lines and between the middle area and the side areas, respectively, carrying straps with loops are provided, said straps being secured, preferably by sewing, to reinforcing strips provided along the fold lines. The outer, free edge of the larger fold flap is provided with fastening means for engagement with corresponding fastening means along the outside surface of the fold line, and edge strips with drawstring closures are provided around the periphery of the head section and along the foot ends of the sections, for closing the respective ends of the bag.
