This was a very interesting and thought-provoking item. My niece works for the DNR in the backwoods, and she is slim enough to fit into it. With some modifications I think that as a piece of emergency gear something like this would be a way to keep off the mist, flies and mosquitoes should she get lost in the woods overnight. She would certainly want to take care of her evening 'senate vote' before she zipped up into that thing for the night though.
