Snugpak | Jungle Blanket | Insulated camping or emergancy blanket for just in case (Black, XL)

Product Information

I personally think a polyester blanket such as the Jungle Blanket is a great choice if you are looking for something that has water resistance and can still perform when wet. Comfort I’ve already touched on warmth when wet, but staying warm when wet is really just an emergency situation (that hopefully you don’t have to experience). What’s more important is how the Jungle Blanket performs in normal day to day uses such as keeping you warm at night, around the campfire, while in the deer stand or other areas. When using the Jangle Blanket, I kept thinking that it had to let me down at some point. It can’t possibly be cheap, comfortable, and warm, but it is.

I also love the versatility of this sleeping bag. You can use it on its own, unzip it into a survival blanket, or zip it together with another Jungle Bag to create one big sleeping bag. Size and weight are always a consideration and it seems that Snugpak found a happy medium where they can have a blanket that is useful yet not too big and heavy. Water Resistance / Performance When Wet Water Resistance I plan to use the bag extensively this summer. My goal is to try to use it for a month straight to better understand how it holds up to long-term use in warm weather. If you’re dressed appropriately to be outdoors in 45 degrees (hoodie, pants, maybe a hat) and you use the Jungle Blanket for added warmth, you’ll be plenty warm. But, if you try to wrap up with just the Jungle Blanket on a 45-degree night, you are going to freeze.

Camouflaged The Jungle Bag is available in four subdued colors that blend in well with your surroundings, whether that`s forest or desert, for survival situations where stealth is required. First off, no matter what material you’re dealing with, you want the insulation to remain dry if possible. So, is the outer layer of the Jungle Blanket truely water resistant? Both the lining and the shell have an anti-microbal and anti-bacterial treatment which will help keep your blanket free from smells, odors, fungus, and mold when on long camping trips where cleaning the blanket is impractical, or when moisture is an issue.

I have had my Jungle Blanket for one season now and I have had zero issues with its construction or durability. I go camping in every different type of weather here in Minnesota. From hot humid trips to dealing with nights dipping below zero and everything inbetween. Visit Snugpak.com to learn more about the Jungle Bag`s features and specifications.

What`s the Verdict?

The Jungle Blanket isn’t going to keep you warm winter camping if it is your only source of heat retention, but it is a perfect companion to a quality sleeping bag. It’s great to wrap up with around the campfire on a cold evening, add on top of your sleeping on a cold night, or even keep you dry and warm when bad weather hits. I highly recommend this Snugpak sleeping bag to anyone looking for a lightweight, ultra-durable bug-out sleeping bag for use in mild to warm weather. As mentioned above, this survival sleeping bag isn`t the warmest since it`s designed for tropical conditions.

With it’s size and weight, the Snugpak Jungle Blanket occupies a sweet spot in between camping blankets and survival blankets. My bug-out bag is something to get me by for a few weeks at most in a survival situation rather than provide long-term support. Built-In Bug Net A roll-away bug net keeps spiders, snakes, and other critters out of your bag at night. I can`t say that this is my favorite survival sleeping bag on the market, but it`s certainly a great option especially for those on a budget.

I recommend looking at other options for day-to-day use, long-term expeditions, or semi-permanent survival, but this sleeping bag is a fantastic addition to your emergency kit. Snugpak has mastered the comfort factor with the Jungle Blanket while making it water resistant and warm. The Jungle Blanket has a soft comfortable feel that literally surprised everyone who’s had a chance to use it when I’ve taken it on camping trips. Many camping blankets simply aren’t practical to bring along on trips where space is at a premium, but at 6 x 6″, this blanket can be taken on nearly any type of camping trip, and honestly should be. Durability / Quality The Jungle Bag will certainly get the job done in nighttime temperatures down to 50°F or so for most sleepers, but you`ll likely need to pair it with warm clothes, a sleeping bag liner, a mylar space blanket, or additional blanket in anything lower than 60°F.
