Mylar Space Blankets.

There are more than 51 things you can do with them. I also use in my grow room to reflect light on my....lettuce....
You can find them on Amazon really cheap 10 for $10 and up. High temp. here will be 2 degrees in a few days so I cut em up and line my socks.

Getting ready to try making some fishing lures out of them. They are really shiny.

You can get big rolls really cheap. I've found it cheaper than buying the ponchos or blankets.

into various backpacks, fanny packs, 1st aid kits, car truck (actually I probably have more than 10) and I've never opened a single one. Not surprising since I spend almost my entire live in California. I'm going to break one out and see what I can do with it now that I'm in the frozen wasteland of southern Washington.
