Lightweight and compact survival scarf
The Swagman Scarf is a tool that truly expands your options in the field. In a bug-out bag, in your car kit, or in your daily setup – it takes up little space while giving you a big safety margin. It also proves its worth in rescue operations, where speed, functionality, and reliable gear matter most.
One piece of gear, many configurations
- It serves as additional protection against the wind.
- Folded and worn around the neck, it boosts chest insulation and stabilizes body heat while on the move.
- Unfolded, it becomes a poncho with a hood, and with the sides fastened it doubles as a lightweight jacket.
- In camp, it works as an improvised tarp or an ultralight sleeping bag.
- Cinched up, it serves as a gear sack.
- In emergencies, it can replace an NRC foil – only much tougher.
These are practical solutions that cut reaction time and simplify decisions.
What can I use the Swagman Scarf for?
It serves as many things: a scarf, a ground pad, an extra gear bag, additional protection against the wind or a durable alternative to an emergency blanket when temperatures drop.
Light, compressible, ready to deploy
A large rectangular nylon panel folds down small and quickly returns to shape when needed. The material moves with you, while the design integrates seamlessly with your layering system – from jackets to harnesses and backpack hip belts.
Origin and awareness
The Swagman Scarf develops the concept of the survival scarf introduced by Mors Kochanski – Canadian survival instructor and experienced bushcrafter of Polish descent. It’s our tribute to him and our answer to the real needs of users:
- multifunctional,
- well thought-out,
- field-tested.
The Swagman Scarf is gear we’ve tested ourselves – so you can rely on it.
