Thanks for that info. My original idea was to make sure everyone had an emergency blanket that was big enough to cover everything important, and to not tear in the first place.

Well, it's usually the case that what we want, we can't really get, especially when dealing with Mother Nature. I wish I didn't have to provide shelter, bedding, clothing, etc, at all, but that aint how it is.

Hey, I was searching for some other images on Photobucket and found the pic below of the 2 person AMK Heatsheet I used at my Biv Site last March. It shows the Heatsheet from the rear angle, the second shot is just of early morning looking out from the shelter.





I mistyped my previous link to this post, hopefully it can be found at this location.

Looking forward to doing more of these adventures.

Off topic: if you have to sleep with your head out from the plastic to prevent condensation, Pack along some extra cough drops, nothing gets me down in the morning like a sore throat!

I just have one word to say about that: scarves.

OK, more than one word. I would rather have a scarf than a hat. You can wrap a scarf around your head, but you can't easily wrap a hat around your neck.

And roger on the cough drops. That's item #13 in my PSK.

Sure you can - cut the top off the hat. OK, it only works well if it's a stocking cap, but still.
And if you get a kind of big stocking cap, you can fold the top back a little, tuck it under, and still have a decent hat.

But, hey, I carry both. I'm just being argumentative

A Headover can be worn as a hat (Commando Style ) or as a scarf (neck warmer)

My absolutely favorite piece of garment is the merino wool buff. Essentially a headover, only smaller. And did I mention I dig wool? Amazing stuff.

OK, I stand corrected. My fav cold weather item bar none is my cashmere scarf. I can get by on only that much of the time. It seems as though if my neck is warm, most of the rest of me feels warm.

I have a O.D. Wool watch cap, and I love it!! I got it from the site listed below, and the quality is also bar none! It will be best accompanied by a 12" circle of space blanket to go underneath. Also, the watch cap folds down long enough to cover my mouth, it works but coughdrops stored in the fold... I dont know why i chose there, but they are secure and when I grab the cap, they are with it.
