PAGE 14 - SUPPLEMENT TO MCHENRY PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, MARCH 24, 1976 A pocket full of survival It's a beautiful sunny day, a perfect time to be outdoors. But suddenly the scene changes. You're caught in a storm. You're invaded by insects. You sprain your ankle. Or, you stray too far. Any one of these inci­ dents is potentially dan­ gerous. But the odds for survival are increased with lightweight, inexpensive emergency equipment in your jacket pockets, knap­ sack or bike pack. One of the most basic and useful survival aids is the Space Emergency Blanket from Thermos. It's waterproof and wind- proof, yet fits neatly into a shirt pocket, unfolds to 56-by-84-inches, washes easily and refolds quickly.

Richmond Rd., McHenry 815/385-2980 FREE ESTIMATES Placed over the head and shoulders it protects against rain or wind; laid over the low boughs of a tree it provides a shelter during storms; or spread on the ground it becomes an eating surface. The reflective solid silver or silver/orange color makes it a good tool for signaling help. Mirrors useful Mirrors can also be used for signaling, and prove invaluable if foreign mat­ ter gets into the eyes. Bright steel mirrors weigh­ ing as little as IVi ounces are a good choice. For those who need pre­ scription lenses, an extra pair of glasses is a must. Sunglasses and a protec­ tive suntan lotion are gen­ erally needed for journeys in the desert, high places or on mountain trails. oner flu Window and Wall Decor TRADE SHOW SPECIALS!

Adhesive bandages in sterile coverings can be applied to a tender area of the foot to help prevent blisters and the subse­ quent danger of infection. They also provide a dress­ ing for cuts, scrapes and scratches, which should be washed thoroughly with soap and water and dried well for maximum protec­ tion. Be sure to take An inexperisive watch and compact compass should be your constant outdoor companions. A durable, waterproof com­ pass with a luminous dial can be used anytime, al­ most everywhere, and is generally more reliable than natural trail finders. Matches in a waterproof container or a windproof cigarette lighter, contour maps, a pocket or sheath­ ed knife, a snakebite kit, flashlight, supply of water and water purification tab­ lets, aspirin and tweezers for splinters are also good choices. Knowing the area you are planning to explore will help you in selecting other emergency items to make your trip more com­ fortable. And above all. don't panic. Most wilder­ ness areas are surveyed by airplanes, helicopters or spotters in towers. If an accident should occur off the trail, a pocket size Space Emergency Blanket by Thermos helps insure com­ fort until help arrives. 8 A TRADE FAIR SPECIAL!
