**A Testament to the Escape Shelters**
Thanks to Ray Baker for sharing this story about our shelters, which just goes to show, just how well built they really are. We'll let him relive the nightmare scenario...
"This story is a testament to the build quality of your bivvies. During the 25th to 29th of October myself, my son-in-law and five friends went to Linear Fisheries for the week due to having to cancel a week-long trip to France that we due to covid-19.
We fished the Manor Farm Lake and on the Wednesday we encountered some rain showers, though nothing too severe, until we were hit by a 'Freak' storm. I was in my EscAPE XF2 Compact with the porch attached and it ws not only flipped upside down, but was also dragged 25 metres down the bank until it was stopped by an Oak tree. The whole surrounding area was like a scene from a disaster movie, it threw me off my chair and there was gear strewn all over the swim.
I ended up going to A+E in Oxford the following day with suspected broken ribs, but luckily they were only badly bruised.
The amazing thing was that when my son-in-law and friends collected everything together the only things broken were my bedchair and the lid to my tackle box. My bivvy and porch had survived with just a slight dent in one pole, not even a slight rip or tear to the material!!
What an absolutely amazing piece of kit. Which just goes to prove that you only get what you pay for, and your shelters can stand up to and take on F1 tornadoes! Something that the likes of 3-4 trees didn't;t manage to do, and they weren't small ones either, as you can see by the photo.
If anyone needs to validate this story, please get in touch with Linear Fisheries as I obviously had to go in the accident book.
Regards
Ray Baker"
