Travel size umbrella in shades of Santa Claus Red and Traffic Cone Orange (we'll pick), measuring 11” collapsed and opening to a 41” dia canopy. It has a little black handle with a pop-open trigger button, as they often do. The real beauty of this umbrella comes when you press the button a second time and the top of the umbrella collapses saving you the trouble of messing with that little metal tab. You'll still have to push the body back together to reload it, however. Needless to say we are impressed with this innovation in umbrella technology. Added Bonus: They’re easy to spot in a lost and found drawer.

You will survive, too, just like Gloria Gaynor, and in the woods, even. But only if you have this U.S. Army manual, cleverly titled: SURVIVAL, Department of the Army Field Manual FM21-76.
