5S™ Survival / Shelter / Stretcher / Signalling / Sleeping System

5S™ covers all key survival elements.

This unique and innovative Survival / Shelter / Stretcher / Signalling / Sleeping System combines multi-survival equipment for professionals, travellers and outdoor enthusiasts worldwide.

5S™ is waterproof, windproof, lightweight (only 1.5 kg), has its own integrated hood, draw cords and stretcher handles. 5S™ incorporates five key survival elements in one system, reducing weight and the need to carry many pieces of kit. Quick and easy to use, it rolls up to fit in the side pouch of a rucksack.

It is an indispensable and practical multi-use survival tool that incorporates a SHELTER, a high visibility SIGNALLING panel, a waterproof SLEEPING SYSTEM, and an improvised STRETCHER. When turned inside out, the waterproof 5S™ provides essential survival equipment that offers protection against the three main causes of hypothermia: COLD, WET and WIND. 5S™ also protects against direct light in tropical or desert environments, and provides the user with a rescue bag that can be seen from distances of more than one kilometre over open terrain including desert and moorland.

5S as shelter 5S™’s Multi-Climate Use
An indispensable survival tool in emergencies when displaying the high visibility panel uppermost, 5S™ is equally useful for non-emergency, daily use. With the high visibility panel reversed, 5S™ can be used to provide overhead SHELTER from sun, snow and rain. Folded and zipped, the shelter creates a SLEEPING SYSTEM for use when temperatures drop at night, and is reversible for high visibility mode. It is the ideal emergency bag and can be easily stored for emergency use in a vehicle.

5S™ Shelter and Signalling System
In an emergency, the SLEEPING SYSTEM when fully unzipped and displaying the yellow high visibility material uppermost can be used as a combined SHELTER and SIGNALLING SYSTEM. The yellow material will enable rescue teams to find your location more easily while at the same time provide you with shelter from the elements. The signalling panel also incorporates a reflective 3M band to further assist rescuers working at night with search lamps. (The yellow material should only be used uppermost in cases of emergency requiring rescue.)

5S™ Sleeping System
5S™ can be used in any environment as a regular sleeping bag. The SLEEPING SYSTEM’s waterproof bag and integrated hood offer protection from the elements. In emergencies, the sleeping bag’s reversible, high visibility material acts as a rescue or distress signal.

5S™ Stretcher System
In an emergency 5S™ can be used as an improvised STRETCHER SYSTEM. Using 5S™ in SLEEPING SYSTEM mode, the casualty can be placed either on top of, or inside, the bag and by using the integrated carry handles, or by sliding poles or strong branches through the carry handle loops, can be lifted and evacuated. NB: A casualty placed inside the bag is protected from the elements.

Colours: Camouflage or grey.

5S™ is designed to fit into the side pouch of the Rucksack Stretcher System (RSS).
