The M-65 Field Jacket: Tough and Ready for Action
If you don’t have one already, you should probably add an M-65 Field Jacket to your wardrobe. It’s tough, versatile, and does an excellent job of protecting you from all but the harshest cold weather.
Being a military jacket, it was designed to protect soldiers from the elements while allowing them to move freely in combat. So here is a jacket that does it’s job as a jacket, but doesn’t confine you or restrict movement — something that is very important if you are out in the wilderness trying to build a shelter in a storm.
If you don’t already have a great jacket for your Bug Out Bag, you should really consider one of these. Not only do they handle rain and wind well, they have a removable quilted liner. This extends its usability to most of the year. If you just need something to keep the wind or a light rain off of you, but it’s not cold, take out the liner and put it in your pack. If it’s cold, button in the liner and you’re good to go. Throw on a wool sweater underneath that and you can be comfy in a some really cold places.
Strength, usability, and pure function are offered by the M-65 Field Jacket. Get one and add it to your emergency supplies.
