Survival blankets, not sleeping bags.

I have used a product similar to this while in Special Forces in the mountains of Afghanistan in the winter. It is an unforgiving envionment with the proper gear. Our tactical situation demmanded the we "go light." This means that you strip a strip a special bag off your about, 200lb pack, which contains only essentials (contents classified.) You blow the packs with C-4 and bugout. One item (unauthorized, but we all got them) in the bag is a thin, silverized on one side and OD Green on the other. You place the silver side towards the body and huddle together. Granted, it is no super sleeping bag, there were a few tears; but all of us lived until extraction. For those who critisize them try to think and remember, they are emergency devices, not your 1K fart sack.
