[QUOTE="fmajor, post: 1232350, member: 20646"] The "space blankets" (mylar) actually work better because once you get a fire started you can open the blanket/tarp up and allow heat from the fire to warm you. A "space bag" will not allow the user to enjoy the warmth of the fire much at all. Plus, "space bags" are a royal pain in the kiester to slip into with your boots/coat/etc on (been there - done that - it sucked). If you're wet/snow covered at all, any moisture on your clothes/boots stays trapped inside the bag and does not allow for drying. I carry two of the mylar coated 5'x7' tarps (one red - one blue) [URL="https://www.rei.com/product/407106/space-all-weather-blanket?CAWELAID=120217890000840386&CAGPSPN=pla&CAAGID=15877490680&CATCI=aud-87986356584:pla-126978294520&cm_mmc=PLA_Google|404_11699|4071060000|f5acacdf-09be-4f99-9fc3-a3be5b6f29d3|aud-87986356584:pla-126978294520&lsft=cm_mmc:PLA_Google_LIA|404_11699|4071060000|f5acacdf-09be-4f99-9fc3-a3be5b6f29d3|aud-87986356584:pla-126978294520&gclid=COSpxbDXjc8CFY6EaQodov0Ikw"]like this[/URL] and they have worked very well to shield me from strong winds.
