Army sleeping bags<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Winters in Ukraine are cold, especially for soldiers in trenches. That's why we started looking for army sleeping bags. These are modular: each set consists of two sleeping bags that you can combine during the coldest period of the year. Moreover, army sleeping bags are much stronger than standard sleeping bags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For this campaign we were able to get our hands on a batch of 400 used army sleeping bags from the French army at a very favorable price which allowed us to finance this large batch and provide many Ukrainian forces with a warm sleeping bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In France, after tracing the batch of sleeping bags, the seller was contacted and the 400 sleeping bags were checked for any defects. We had anticipated some repairs, but the 400 sleeping bags were all fine! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Transport<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Organizing logistics was the biggest challenge: the sleeping bags were stocked in France, in the Calais region. Transportation to Ukraine is difficult: the supply of transporters driving to Ukraine during the war is limited, and the parties offering transportation are busy because there is high demand for transportation of goods to Ukraine. In the end, we Heart4Ukraine<\/a> from Breskens prepared to pick up the sleeping bags in France and add them to the large convoy they had already scheduled for the first week of December 2024. Indeed, the truck was already fully booked but the sleeping bags went along at the expense of less urgent goods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
