HITCO Emergency Reflective Blanket
All it takes is getting caught in the cold ONCE to know the value of a reflective blanket
Now, before we get started, its important to note: you should always bring extra layers on any day trip, even if its short. You should bring extra water, you should bring medical supplies. Accidents happen, people lose the trail, people get injured. Being prepared saves a lot of grief down the road.
These blankets are made of a reflective material in order to trap body heat as well as be visible when sunlight hits them. These blankets measure 51.2" x 82.6" and weigh only 1.6 oz, so there is no excuse to not carry one or two on a hike. They can be used to fight against shock as well as keep you or loved ones warm if caught in the elements. They can even be used to augment a sleeping bag or blanket if need be. Mr. Misty used these professionally as a paramedic to treat shock and even used one once when he packed the wrong sleeping bag for a trip and had to sleep in a “jungle” (+10c) rated bag in the fall to increase it’s heat retention.
These are intended for single use. In our professional experience, it’s good to have two of these. One for yourself and one for someone else or if it tears on something.
