Disposable Emergency Tent

[bobthe]

I don't know bobthe, but I think you might be wrong....The emergency blanket I have has small air spaces, I haven't conducted any tests but I believe most insulating factors rely on airspace/pockets to enhance..........Example, my welding gloves protect well from radiant and wind, they also protect me from the conducting of heat while I hold hot metal, whereas my brown jersey gloves will transfer the heat ASAP , insulation will slow the conducting process down both direction.......

huh. ive never seen emergency blankets that had actual insulation built in. the only thing ive ever seen sold as an emergency blanket is nothing more than an aluminized mylar sheet thats been folded up for easy storage.

if your blanket is more like aluminized bubblewrap then yes. it will still provide insulation when on the ground. if its nothing more than aluminized plastic film, then it wont provide any insulation worthy of note when placed in direct contact with the ground.
