Escape & Evade® Spartan Military Survival Kit (VM) (EESMSK-VM)

The Escape & Evade® Spartan (TM) Military Survival Kit (VM) was designed to provide the military operator with a very compact and lightweight survival solution that they could take anywhere at any time. Addressing the priorities of survival, along with military-specific signaling capabilities in infra-red. Directly comparable to the survival module listed under NSN# 6545-01-534-0935, but with sheltering / hypothermia prevention, as well as 100 MPH Tape, Kevlar cord and more. These additions make the Spartan (VM) a far superior choice. The kit is just over 11 ounces, and can fit into most modern military uniform thigh cargo pockets.

The carry-pouch is the same durable Mil-Pak pouches used for MREs, but with a clear window on one side so that you can see the contents and know it is a survival kit. The waterproof pouch is durably heat sealed until you need it, and if you do, know that you will be prepared to continue the mission and survive.

Note: This military survival kit is restricted to purchases by and for U.S. Military personnel, U.S. Government agencies, and U.S. Military contractors. All others may purchase the Escape & Evade® Spartan (TM) Tactical Survival Kit (VCM), located here.

The interior of the desert tan material is reflective silver, and can be used for signaling, marking, etc.

If filled with water, the clear side can be exposed to direct sunlight to aid in water purification by UV exposure (however, this is only a field expedient method. The water purification tablets in this kit are the primary water purification method).
