I used to carry one extra-large orange garbage bag, but after reading this article, i'm going to take two.
They make great improvised shelters, and they are light and cheap. I still won't bring a survival blanket, too flimsy and ought to tear in the wind or simply during manipulation.
A heat sheet seems nice, I just didn't come across one yet in stores.
