Emergency blanket

Found in 3 guides

Why you need it

If the heating stops in winter, the problem is not the cold outside but the heat leaving you. A foil blanket or two costs almost nothing and buys hours of warmth.

What to look for

Foil survival blankets or bivvy bags, one per person, plus a proper wool or fleece blanket if you have the space for it.
