Pathfinder All Purpose Emergency Survival Blanket

Blanket, Tarp and Reflector

The Pathfinder All Purpose Emergency Survival Blanket is a reusable 5 x 7 ft sheet you can wrap around yourself, pitch as a shelter or lay down as a ground cover. One face is OD green (olive drab, the classic military green), and the other is a reflective aluminum layer that throws body heat or campfire heat back toward you. It weighs 12 ounces and packs into a flat pouch, so it fits in a vehicle kit, a pack or a bug-out bag and stays there until you need it.

Features

• 5 x 7 Foot Coverage — At 5 ft x 7 ft (1.53 m x 2.13 m), it covers an adult from head to boots when worn as a wrap.
• 12 Ounce Pack Weight — The blanket weighs 12 oz (340 g), light enough to carry every day without noticing it.
• Reflective Aluminum Face — The silver side reflects radiant heat, so you can turn it inward to hold body warmth or rig it behind you to bounce heat from a fire.
• Grid-Reinforced Construction — A visible woven grid runs through the reflective layer to strengthen the sheet against tearing in use.
• OD Green Outer Side — The olive drab face blends into woods and brush when you want a low-visibility shelter.
• Metal Grommets — Six metal eyelets, at the corners and midway along the long sides, take cord, stakes or hooks for pitching it as a tarp.
• Bound Edges and Corner Patches — Black binding wraps the perimeter, and reinforced fabric patches back each corner grommet where tension is highest.
• Waterproof and Windproof — The maker rates the sheet waterproof and windproof, so it works as a rain fly or windbreak as well as a blanket.
• Branded Storage Pouch — It ships folded in an OD green Pathfinder pouch that keeps it compact between uses.

Construction and Setup

The blanket is made from nylon with an aluminum reflective layer, which makes it heavier and far more durable than a disposable foil space blanket. With the grommets and some paracord you can string it as an A-frame over a ridgeline, a lean-to or a flat fly between two trees. When you are done, fold it back down and use it again.
