Not just for survival... | |

| This may be a survival blanket, but I've been using it as the perfect light-weight ground cloth and tarp. I've been moving toward ultra-lightweight gear over the past several years and have replaced my tent footprint with this survival blanket. I tried using a standard mylar blanket, but it was too bright (reflective), too fragile (tore too easily), and made too much noise (crinkled every time I moved). This material (polyethylene?) will stretch before it tears and is no louder than a garbage bag. I put the shiny side down so that I've got a nice orange base for my tent. I suppose that I could flip it over with the silver side up if I wanted to keep my body heat reflected up into the tent, but I've not been out in cold enough weather to test this idea. I've also used it as a tarp very successfully, but never in anything more than light winds. I use pebbles or fir-cones (no sharp edges) to create tie points that leave the material intact; short bits of parachute cord to stakes or other tie points complete the tarp setup -- perfect to create a dry place to sit and cook. (Since this material is plastic, I assume it will burn; we kept our tarp pitched at head-height to ensure we would have no problems cooking under it.) I cannot review this product for emergency use, as I've never had an emergency that merited its use. But for the two uses I've described above in spring, summer, and fall hiking in the North Central Cascades of Washington, there nothing better. And I'd want to carry it anyway for emergeny use! Best emergency blanket on the market. | |
