Arcturus Insulated Tarp, Reusable Heavy Duty Thermal Survival Blanket – 60x82in, Reflects 90% Body Heat, Waterproof, Windproof, 3-Layer Design, Reinforced Grommets, Orange

If I had nothing this is an optimal piece of gear.Great for any kind of outdooring. For the size and weight it does alot!Great vapor barrier wind proof and insulating.Id use it as a blanket under a regular tarp and it works fantastic. Typically i use it with my stove or a heat source in cold weather and in warm weather I use it to dry my wet clothes or keep off harsh sunlight.Id imagine it's great for car camping or anything else. Portable rolls up to the size of a tall can.Cons, Dirt sticks to the fuzzy surface but not as bad as you'd expect. Its not super durable probably lasts about 6 months of continuous use but it's fair for the price.

Product is awesome! Kept heat in and the rain out. Wish I still had it, CalTrans took it in one of their sweeps to clean up homeless encampment. SMH

The Arcturus Heavy Duty Survival Blanket is an absolute must-have for anyone who enjoys camping, hiking, or needs a reliable emergency blanket. I was impressed with how well it performed during our recent camping trip, and it's become one of our favorite pieces of gear.The Mylar reflective side is perfect for reflecting heat or creating a radiant barrier, which is especially useful when you need to keep warm or signal for help in an emergency. The polypropylene side adds durability, making it great for use as a ground tarp, shelter, or even as a waterproof blanket. We've used it as a windbreak around our campfire on windy days, and it worked beautifully to keep the warmth in while blocking the cold wind.At 60" x 82", this blanket is a great size for all kinds of uses, whether you're setting up a shelter or laying it out as a ground cover. Despite its size, it's incredibly lightweight at just under 1 pound, and it packs down small into its carry bag for easy transport. We were pleasantly surprised by how easy it was for our 11-year-old to set up and take down the shelter.The reinforced grommets are another great feature. They make it simple to hang or secure the blanket, and the grommets are strong enough to withstand the tension when tied down. It’s clear that a lot of thought went into the design and durability of this blanket.Whether you're using it as an emergency shelter, a tarp, or just keeping it in your car for unexpected situations, this blanket is super versatile. It's also waterproof, which makes it useful in all weather conditions. It’s incredibly strong, durable, and packs down light, making it an easy addition to your outdoor gear or emergency kit.Overall, the Arcturus Heavy Duty Survival Blanket is a fantastic, multi-purpose product that holds up to its claims. Whether you're in the woods or need it for emergency preparedness, this blanket is a reliable and practical tool. Highly recommended!

I bought this tarp to fill my shelter requirement in my get home/run away bag and I have field tested it twice while camping in the north east United States during summer.First things first the tarp arrived promptly, the folded and bagged package was smaller than I expected but heavier than I expected as well. The folded tarp fits well into a standard size backpack, I utilized the large flat pocket that is closest to my back and it is comfortable while also stiffening the backpack shape and protecting my back from sharper equipment stowed forward of it in the bag in case of fall or tumble.The initial camping trip I used paracord and some trees to set up a simple shelter with an open front and a small fire pit. I didn’t need the reflective properties during that trip but I could feel the heat from the fire bouncing off the angled back of the shelter and when the wind picked up the grommeted eyelets held even with lazy minimal effort rigging.The second time is more relevant to my personal uses for the product. We were in a campsite on the edge of the Delaware river and a sudden storm caused flash flooding, particularly worse and dangerous in the steep sided valley we had chosen to camp. We became cut off from the road out by a normally dry channel at the tree line and had to abandon our vehicles and watch a full camping site wash away. I grabbed my backpack, young children and drunken common law wife and we moved on foot/waded yo higher ground but we’re pretty much marooned until the water receded. I set up the tarp in a low slightly angled configuration, i had a poncho liner in a small dry bag and we were comfortable until morning.

I am very satisfied with my purchase of this stout emergency tarp/blanket. Yes, it is very bulky in my pack compared to a standard mylar blanket. However, this tarp/blanket has multiple uses and is reusable. Compared to mylar blankets, this tarp is robust. It will allow me to make very nice emergency shelters. As for rain or cold coverage, this item has me covered. I will probably use it most frequently as a clean, dry blanket on the ground mid hike to get some rest and a bite. Finally, when folded, it can serve as a comfortable seat cushion. I am not worried about the weight, but it is bulky compared to the standard mylar blanket. That is the only downside. Enjoy.
