Have bought a half dozen or more for homeless folks I see on a regular, folks who Know about sleeping out in the cold. They all love it. It keeps them warm like nothing else. Truly, they are survival blankets.
I purchased these for hunter safety classes. I bought blue and blaze orange for survival situations. I worked with Katie in customer service. She was great! Arcturus provided great service! The blankets are packaged in a plastic bag. The bag is smaller than a freezer bag. Then inside the plastic, Arcturus gives you a nice container or pouch which the blanket folds into. This fits quite easily to any moderate size backpack.The blanket itself is well built. It has the four anchor points for stakes or sticks. The colored side is the outside or waterproof side, while the silver side is the heat reflecting side. The stitching is strong and they are lightweight enough that it would not be a burden to carry in a pack. This is a good product! Thank you Arcturus!
Most definitely a perfect survival blanket. Strong enough to use as a tarp. Great for a ground clothe. Fist layer inside the tent. And a nice car blanket too. Also can help you evade thermal imaging if you find yourself in that sort of situation.
