S.O.L. Survive Outdoors Longer Emergency Blanket/Shelter Kit, Multi (0140-1701)

The key reasons I opted to purchase TWO of these are (1) GREATER DURABILITY & (2) LARGER SIZE. I'll let you use your imagination, as to all the advantages and uses this standard and form-factor provides and just focus on the cogent superiority ... As a tarp? As a Blanket ? As a Ground-Cloth ? SUPERIOR ! This tarp/blanket can be re-used MANY times and will "stuff" back into a fairly small bag, easily. You can use the "Indian Button" (small stones) technique to fashion tie-outs or garment buttons, without tearing. Even a 300 pound "Bubba" can roll up in this thing, just like a burrito and tuck the bottom under his feet. It can stand up to fairly strong winds, even when tied-out, and can catch and carry water, as well. I am planning to purchase a 3rd one, to cut up and make a thermal shemagh, cap liners (between two watch caps). sock liners (between two sox), and maybe some sort of "core" thermal bib or dickey. Shelter (core temperature regulation) is even a higher priority than water filtration and disinfection ... Get this FIRST (two of them) ... A good fire-steel (or two) ... And at least one FRONTIER PRO Water Filter. There is absolutely NO reason not to have this inexpensive, pocket-sized life-saver in your EDC kit! Two of these, a Frontier Pro, and a Fire-steel will all fit in your pockets ... have these with you ALWAYS. That much ** WILL ** increase your chances of surviving the first 3 days by 1,000% (ten-fold). Ask Cody Lundin (Lun-deen) or Dave Canterbury ... Or even Bear Grylls (LoL).

These just work. They feel like a plastic trash bag, but they don't rip and are more durable than regular mylar blankets. My bud and I along with my dog used these one night to help insulate our popup during a Nor'easter and we were able to stay warm with these covering a couple walls and a space heater going. I tested one just over my sleeping bag and I actually had to take it off because it was too hot. These are not going to be nearly as durable as the tarp-backed emergency blankets, but they can still survive being roughed up a little. If you're looking for a better-than-mylar solution that's smaller/lighter/cheaper than the tarp-backed emergency blankets, I would recommend these without hesitation.

So I thought that this was going to be a similar material to the sports utility blanket or whatever they call it. It's not, it's a really slick thin material but that's my fault for not paying attention. It's thin and not cut resistant or anything BUT it does it's job. It packs up nicely and really retains warmth well

I got this two person sized blanket for two reasons: My pregnant wife and I needed something that we can take hiking or leave in our emergency kit. Large enough to keep (all three of) us warm if it gets cold, large enough to keep us dry (used as a shelter) if it gets wet. Keeps for years. Safety info printed on the side to give you some handy tips (it's surprising the simple mistakes even experienced people make when in a crisis) or just something to read. more than large enough to be used as a helicopter signal panel marker if you are really in trouble. You would be a fool not to have this (or two or three) in your emergency kits

I'm a little stocky -- okay I'm a lot stocky. The 99 cent space blankets don't cut it for a cover-up. However, here's a tip if that's all you have -- take off your coat or sweater, wrap it around your torso, and then put your coat back on . . . at least it won't shred quite as fast. The SOL 1-2 person blanket, on the other hand, is big enough to actually wrap up in, keep the wind and snow off you, and probably buy you about 25-30 degrees of temperature protection. Let's face it, if you go out in a mid-west winter in yoga pants and a hoodie and get stranded, you are pretty well done for. This will NOT save your bacon in that scenario. On the other hand, it just might keep you alive long enough for someone with a vehicle to come along and save you. If you are actually pretty well prepared for the weather, but things get a bit worse than expected, this will help you a lot. Remember: First, don't die. Second, try not to lose any body parts to frostbite. Third, if you do something dumb and live through it -- make sure you, and everyone you know, never does that dumb thing again. A very good, inexpensive, first step is to have one of these PER PERSON, in your camping gear, bug-out bag, car bag, etc.

I own a few of these, and I always carry one in my pack while out on a day hike, lest, being out in the wilderness, I need the extra warmth or I need to make a really really bare-bones shelter. Well, after years of hiking, I finally used it. A group of us ran into some college kids who decided to eat a handful of mushrooms at over 8000' elevation. Turns out one of them was having a bad trip; consequently, he was trying to run off the side of the mountain. Well, we decided to call search and rescue since he was a danger to himself. While we were waiting for the helicopter to airlift him out of there, we used this blanket both to pin him down (we sat on him) and to keep him warm. (It was getting dark/cold, none of them were wearing the right clothing for the elements, and the kid was wet from pissing himself.) Added bonus: when the helicopter got close, they were better able to spot us after I waved this blanket in the air; the orange/reflective surface comes in handy for signaling search and rescue. Lastly, I'll echo another reviewer who said this smaller blanket is good for only one use, especially if it gets wet. I certainly wasn't going to keep it after there was pee pee on it. But this blanket is so affordable, why not buy a few of them?

This had been stored unused but carried around in my emergency gear and various backpacking outings for about 10 years. I had to use it in an emergency situation last month and it performed perfectly to help a one adult cold water rescue. I'll be ordering more.

Readying my family for an emergency!

Parfait

Wrapped well. Light and compact to fit in a handbag/ Ruck sack

震災で被災した親族が「避難所がとにかく寒かった」としきりに言っていたので、雪山遭難時でなくとも役立つのではと購入しました。 届いたものを見たときはかなりコンパクトだったので本当に大丈夫か？と思ったのですが、 広げるとシングル布団ぐらいのサイズになります。外気が入らないようにしっかり包まるには十分な大きさです。 他の似たような製品では「一度広げると畳めない」「音がうるさい」などのレビューがありますが、 この製品は音もせいぜいスーパーの袋ぐらいのものですし、きちんと畳めば8割方もとのサイズに戻ります。 一度広げてから畳み直したところ、未開封時よりはかさばってしまうもののコンパクトと言えるサイズに収まりました。（画像上げましたので参考にどうぞ） ただしとても薄いので、引っかかりには弱いです。耐久性の面からも、レジャーシートのように何回も繰り返し使えるわけではないと思います。 肝心の暖かさは正直期待していたほどではなかったのですが、風を通さない分下手な薄手のブランケットよりよほど保温力はあると思います。 なにより軽いので、持ち出し袋などに入れても負担にならないのが良いですね。安心材料の一つとして、持っていて損は無いと思います。 ちなみにパッケージは上の画像のものではなくこちら AdventureMedicalKits(アドベンチャーメディカルキッツ) ヒートシートサバイバルブランケット2人用 12134 のものが届きました。ちょっと紛らわしいですがサイズは同じです。

praticamente stesso ingombro della versione per una singola, però più largo ovviamente. Consiglio questo perchè in caso di vera necessità è meglio avere una coperta termica più grossa così da coprire meglio. Dubito che ci stiano effettivamente due persone completamente avvolte (per questo consiglio di portrsi sempre dietro due coperte termiche separate, tanto il peso è praticamento nullo), però sicuramente copre bene un individuo singolo.

I used to store these in my camping bag but we bought these additionally for our trip to Iceland. Good to know we had some insulation if we got stranded out in the cold wilderness!
