IPK 'instructions for use' help?

[AJB]

Hello,

Just a quick plea for help.

I had a couple of IPKs delivered today, I'm not overly impressed, largely as they were described as new and unissued, which translates to 41 years old, perished and unopened. They are also lacking the set up instructions.

Does any kind sole have a set they could photograph/scan for me?

Many thanks.

Andy

Oh, somewhere.
It's pretty straightforward though. Lay out the pegs either side of the slit trench, stretch out the white line between them in a lace up pattern, cover with tarp and pile up the soil over the top of it all.

I'm pretty sure they're online somewhere.

Can't see me ever using them to cover a trench, but... the pegs and tarp are pretty sound and the white cordage is pretty bomb proof ....no pun intended

If you're quick on the screen capture....about 1.40 to 1.50 on this video.

Just had a throught, I'm sure the instructions were inside my sets. If your's aren't opened, that's where they'll be.

AFAIK they never came with destructions. They were designed as single use NBC shelter kits. Toddy's instructions are spot on.

Came with instructions, pain in the backside to use. Although if you dug deep enough, a cot made it comfy.

Found this on an Army surplus site:

Image No. 8 in the group of pics is really clear instructions when enlarged .

This may be too late to be of use, but I scanned the instructions that came with one of the ones that I have.

Hi Hypnagog, I really appreciate that, thank you very, very much!

Best wishes,

Andy

Yeah those are the instructions for military use but they have so many uses I think they are one of the most useful bits of cheap surplus you can pick up You get a big tough waterproof sheet some good string and some big old pegs
The only thing I have little use for is the pegs but I can see they could be useful.
You say yours were unopened but perished are you sure ? If so its refund time surely
