The 98.6 Kit covers five critical
equipment categories for a survivor in an emergency. The first three: Shelter; Fire; and Signaling represent the
most important elements of any survival kit. The next two: Water Disinfection and Storage; and Tools
supplement and facilitate the use of the other items in the Kit. The entire package is a mere 5.5 inches
long by 5 inches wide by 1 inch thick and weighs a little over 9 ounces.
In the Shelter category the Kit
contains a 78 gallon, an extra strong 2 mil plastic bag, 35 feet of 200 lb test line, and 8
feet of duct tape. The bag serves
as a full body, windproof and waterproof, immediate action shelter. In addition, a survivor may split the
bag open to create a 74 inch by 76 inch plastic tarp to aid in sheltering
others. Survivors may use the line
to affix the bag or tarp to the surrounding environment and the duct tape
serves to repair holes in the bag or to join multiple bags for larger shelter
options.
The Kit’s Fire category contains a
“metal match” style fire starter along with 3 cotton and petroleum jelly
tinders. Each of the tinders will
burn for 5 to 8 minutes and each also comes with a foil base to contain melting
petroleum and extend burn time. In
addition, the white plastic card used to hold the line and duct tape may be
used as an additional extremely flammable and long burning fuel source in
difficult conditions.
In the Signaling arena the 98.6 Kit
provides a military style signal mirror, a bright LED light source, and a high
pitched rescue whistle. In
addition the Kit’s shelter bag provides material for a host of passive
signaling options through its extremely bright and highly visible blue color. The fire making capability presents yet
another signaling option.
The 98.6 Kit outer storage bag
provides a compact water storage container for use with the Kit’s two chlorine
dioxide disinfection tablets. Each
tablet will disinfect 1 liter of fresh water.
In the Tools category the 98.6 Kit contains a strong and sharp stainless steel finger knife which doubles as a scraper for the fire starter and a small screwdriver if necessary. The kit also contains a small set of tweezers, and a plastic probe. The final Tool in the Kit is a 22 page instruction booklet printed on waterproof paper to direct a survivor’s actions, as a reminder of training, and to provide options on how to use each of the Kit components to solve common survival problems.
This streamlined, but complete Survival Kit is designed to be carried in a suit, shirt or other limited spaces. It is inexpensive, compact, emergency survival kit designed to provide shelter, fire, signaling, basic tools and water sanitization & storage. Ideal for those more formally dressed, but required to be outside, sometimes in remote sites.

ERI's 98.6 Blue Bag Immediate Action Shelter...heavy duty (4 mil) plastic, highly visible royal bag offers incredible protection during inclement weather. Included with a razor blade cutting tool and instructions.

Nothing is a higher priority than protection against cool, wet and/or windy weather causing excessive body heat loss resulting in hypothermia. A plastic bag will never replace a sleeping bag and tent, but it can provide emergency shelter when forced to wait out a storm or spend an unexpected night away from civilization. Make at least one, preferably two, sheltering bags part of your "pocket" gear whenever venturing away from the beaten path. Also works well for the "underclothed" at camp, on the water or even at outside sporting events.

Overall, nothing is a higher priority than protection against hypothermia producing wet, windy weather and excessive body heat loss. A plastic bag will never replace a sleeping bag and tent, but it can provide adequate emergency shelter when forced to wait out a storm or spend an unexpected night away from civilization. Make at least one, preferably two, sheltering bags part of your "pocket" gear whenever venturing away from the beaten path. Also works well for the "underclothed" at camp, on the water or even at outside sporting events.
Para-cord (Parachute Cord/550 Cord) 50'...often called suspension line as well. White, strong outer sheath with 7 strands of "inner" core with a strength of 35# each. One of the most versatile lines ever designed.

Real “550 cord” has an outer cover containing 7 nylon cords which, when removed, can be used for sewing or any other purpose that requires strong thread. This parachute cord is rated to hold 550 lbs before breaking, hence the name “550 cord”. Uses of this cord are limited only by the user’s imagination, from shelter construction to first aid. This is a must have for any survival kit. ERI's Military Specification 550 Parachute Cord comes in 50 foot lengths.

Our high quality glass signal mirror can reflect the sun's light over 50 miles under really bright conditions. One of the least
expensive and most reliable signaling methods available to the aviator, sailor, and outdoor enthusiast. It is easy to learn how to use the "second sun" in the center of the mirror as a sighting device. It also comes with a hole in the corner so you can attach a lanyard for wearing around your neck. We suggest carrying it in the provided foam case to help protect it from breaking. Directions are also written on the mirror.
The ERI mirror has a "sighting device" (second sun) that allows you to drop your hand while still knowing where the signal is reflecting. The picture on the right illustrates how to use any mirror as a signal mirror. Remember to keep the mirror (compact, credit card, rearview, or whatever you have) snug against your cheek while reflecting the sun's rays through your fingers onto your target. If you move the mirror away from your face, you will lose your aim.

T
