Just looking on the artkis website for better specs etc. and it isn't on there it seems.

But has this odd bit of kit...

That is odd, anyone know what the idea behind this is?

Looks like a crouch mat, for kneeling down in damp places?

Makes sense, but I guess it seems a bit over engineered for that . Must be more to it than that....?

Yeah.

And the draw string allows you have have kit out and gather it up into a knapsack type thing if you need to "getaway".

S390 Getaway Mat. • This mat is ideal for covert use. • It provides a fast and effective way to gather up equipment. without leaving anything behind.

Think its a special ops type work mat when you want to be sure you dont leave anything behind to give away the fact you were there. pull the cord and everything is gathered up + its waterproof to work on.

Edit: Mike beat me to it

Ah ok I get it

I made something very similar to that 'getway mat' using ripstop nylon. It was more an idea of having a large [ish] ground sheet/ picnic blanket I could grab a couple of cord and pull closed.

I remember seeing an old couple at an outdoor theatre once who laid down his picnic blanket and at the end of the show simply gathered all the corners slung it over his back and walked off - very quick to pack up everyone else was still faffing around putting things away into neat continers/ backpacks. Admittdley not very good if you still have a half full cup of tea sitting on the blanket but there you go.

I thought the guy had had two of them. I believe it can be used as a tarp, poncho, sleeping bag/cover or just a warm blanket. I'm watching the other one I may have it at the end of the auction listing.

He said he had a few, but flogged em all within 48 hours. Apparently hes got 40 watchers....

nice enough guy to deal with/
