Review on πŸŽ’ Ultimate Survival Companion: PAMASE Emergency Survival Marathons Backpacking by Rick Everett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Gold reflects infrared (heat) much better than silver

I didn't use this as expected. I traveled to view and photograph the total solar eclipse (21 August 2017) and used it to protect computers, telescope controls and cameras from the sun's heat. Gold reflects infrared radiation (heat) much better than silver. So use this golden side as heat protection. If you're cold, use these inward-facing gold pieces to warm your body (they reflect your body heat). The Revain photo shows the model gold side out (this helps keep you cool. If you're cold and want to keep warm, turn it inside out, gold side in. The 'quilt' (actually a thin sheet of mylar with a gold and silver coating) worked great Nothing The Eclipse was a resounding success.

Pros
  • Emergency blanket
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
