CAPABILITIES AND FEATURES

The individual cold climate survival kit (figure 1-1) consists of a cotton/nylon duck

outer case which is equipped with a web carrying handle (3), an outside stowage

pocket (2) with closing flap (1), two adjustable parachute attaching straps (4) with

quick disconnect snap fasteners (5), a slide fastener (zipper) (6) which is used to

secure the kit inner case and kit survival components, and back pack straps (7).

When the outer case is opened, several of the kit's larger components, the kit

packing list, and the inner case are exposed. The kit packing list provides you with

the location and identification of each survival component. Access to the remaining

kit items is gained by opening the inner case slide fastener.

NOTE

In the event of an emergency bailout, the survival kit may be

attached to either a back-type or chest type personnel

parachute harness.
