## Description

Terra Nova Bothy bags utilise ripstop nylon to create a windproof, highly water resistant and very strong shelter. Bothy bags are increasingly used by mountain rescue teams, outdoor centres and youth groups as emergency shelters and should be always be in the bottom of your rucksack. They create a surprisingly warm and sheltered environment in use and are ideal for lunch stops or accidents. Terra Nova Bothies have allowed their occupants to wait out storms from an hour to a week long in hostile conditions.Clear windows reduce the feeling of claustrophobia and durable waterproof seats stop your bum getting wet. A roof attachment allows a walking pole to act as a support to help keep the fabric away from your head. This product is guaranteed to the original owner against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 1 year from purchase.

Review: Well made and lightweight - Bought for emergency use on the fells but we haven't had an emergency yet, and hope not to. The item appears well made and designed, as you would expect from Terra Nova. It is a snug fit around two people. Not tried in bad weather, but am confident it would hold up.
Review: Light - Found this to be small and light, sits in the bottom of my rucsack taking up little space.Made from the same material as Terra Nova tents so if of good quality. Was expecting a floor with a zip in the side but you just pull it over your head and sit at one end, you can use a walking pole in the middle to hold it up but didn't work well in strong wind, still a very handy shelter, worth the money

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Could two people sit in this? I’m looking for a shelter to sit in with an elderly person, to enjoy the outdoors ?**
A: yes its for 2 but I bought it for emergency protection when trekking in the hills to protect from a sudden deterioration in weather having got cold and wet once and having no protection from wind and rain when eating lunch and in case we ever had an accident and needed protection from the elements. you hold mine up with your bodies and a walking pole and sit on the bottom of the bothy to hold it down.

**Q: Is this waterproof ? Sounds a silly question but received mine today and it doesn’t have taped seams. Cheers.**
A: I’m pretty sure that it’s waterproof. I know it sounds pretty silly not knowing, but the few times I’ve used it these has been the least of my concerns. Also, the nature of being in such a confined space is that condensation forms pretty quickly, so it’s difficult to tell of it’s my own moisture, or a leak. Suffice it to say, it’s an excellent emergency shelter, that takes up next to no space, and robust enough to be treated with pretty-well no care at all.

**Q: According to the outdoor gear review on youtube this leaking colander cannot be used as an emergency shelter. please see the review and comment.**
A: Not really sure what you’re asking. Sounds like you would feel more confident buying something else. Good luck.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hopefully won’t need it.
*by C***S on 8 September 2022*

I bought this to keep in a go bag in the car in case of breakdown where we need to exit the car and shelter on the other side of the armco. I did open it up to have a look and it seems well made.
