There are some things that are pretty important for stowing away as part of your emergency preparedness efforts. You may get by without having a huge cache of chocolate, but to survive, you will for sure need to stay warm. Do you have many blankets in your home? Some of you, who are frugal, turn down the heat during the winter and just wear warm clothing and put more or heavier blankets on the bed to stay toasty and save moolah. Good for you! You are also some of the same folks who are more prepared should you ever find yourself facing a real-life emergency.
Emergency blankets are what the following video is about. You should have lots of quilts and other blankets as well as sleeping bags, coats, thermal underwear, gloves, warm boots, head gear, etc. stored at home, but you should also have this handy-dandy emergency blanket that is extremely mobile. You can take it and put it in the trunk or glove box of your car in case your car ever broke down in the winter time and you were brain dead that day, not wearing a coat. Geez, I paid $1.00 plus tax for this technological wonder! You may wonder how a piece of plastic can do anything to keep you warm, but the objective of this Mylar material is to minimize jail breaks of body heat. You need to keep all the emitted heat you can locked up with you in this contrivance.

Patrick, I wanted to stop by with a return visit to thank you for taking the time to comment on my blog. I’ve spent some time looking around your site and think it’s a fantastic resource. I love your sense of humor as well as the valuable information here. Makes me realize that I need to start some preparedness links in my sidebar.

It doesn’t look like much, but it’s pretty efficient. The one caution is, if you’re caught in-the-wild and need to use this thermal blanket, it’s wise to have a blanket–or layer of leaves–to protect you from heat-loss from direct contact with the ground. This blanket does NOT prevent that.

I used one of these kind of blankets after the Boston Marathon, and I could not believe how warm it kept me. When you look at the thing it doesn’t seem like it would do much, but it will surprise any of you who haven’t tried it before.
