it weighs 2 1/2 pounds...i just put the one i posted the
photo of on my Gear Week post onto a fishing scale and
thats about what it came to in the yellow nylon case..
if you want more info i would Goggle "fire shelter"..
i got this one for show and tell when i did "how to camp"
talks..the Google links will give more than you want to
know about the "shake and bake"--it's a last ditch life
saver and if you get out of it with just 2nd degree burns
your lucky...some photos show the chared remains of a
firefighters gear around what left of a shelter that was
only half out of its bag...they are only ment for one use..
they also had photos of shelters that saved lives--they had
a scorched look and were in the middle of a open area that
had been swept over by fire..i'm sure you would not survive
in a burning forest but only in a place thats open with the
fire quickly passing over..
