What temperature could you withstand for an overnight with just an emergency blanket, sheltered from the wind and rain and near a fire? I mean, without getting frostbite or caressing hypothermia.

>Near a fire
Any temp

This
You don't need a Mylar blanket if you have a fire.
Without a fire......
>caressing hypothermia
Shhh....be still...be still.
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew to serve your turn long after they are gone, and so hold on when there is nothing in you, except the will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’... As long as you had to.
>>688778
Be careful OP, if you are too close to the fire in a bivvy it may melt onto you not unlike Doom in the Fantastic Four.
You may find this to not be a problem though if you get super powers which some do.
>>688825
it sure helps if there is wind and you want to keep your back warm.

Those who write quotes as these have achieved the closest one can of being a god of the 4chan.
>>688964
Fucking a it does!
>>689078
It actually wasn't that funny. I've seen better.
>>689239
Then post em faggot. You know the drill

I'm sorry but I don't screen cap things like a 12 year old.

For someone claiming to have read post greater than the one I highlighted that is such a sophisticated reply young sir.
If you're wrapped up in an emergency blanket, you're probably not getting much warmth from the fire, it's going to reflect the heat away. You can actually stay pretty warm tucking a hot pack between your femoral arteries.
>>689380
> between your morals
>>689380
You do get the warmth if you put the golden side out
What if you did something like sandwiching this between wool blankets? Would the thermal reflectivity work with the wool and make something that's the best of both worlds? Or would that be a waste of both thermal and wool blankets?

When girls see the gold they'll cum for you and that is how those emergency blankets actually work. They also prevent your soul escaping your dead body so be sure not to die while using one! FACT!
>>690057
Can't see what would change.
>>690136
best used them with moromon undies that protect from fire and bullets

He stares. Not at what is, but at what once was. He's watched this forest steep into the depths of an icy depravity. Too cold for even the hardest of men. This forest doesn't win anymore. With your new High Quality Emergency Blanket, you and yours can make this forest great again.
I've slept on the back of my truck at -10F, but I had three lawn chair cushions to keep me off the bed, and 2 full body blankets plus a head blanket.
Absolute coldest I've ever slept in was reported -22F with a cattle fan blowing on me, but that doesn't really count, because I was inside the house with a feather tick and about 15 layers all together. I still woke up at about 1am and remember thinking that I needed to close the window or I would die, and so I closed it, then went back to sleep. Woke up and discovered that my head blanket had come undone and my ear has never stopped ringing, although part of that is /k/ related I'm sure.
>>690634
fucking wow.
>>688954
If you had the capacity to make fire, you have the capacity to build a lean-to. Lining the back of a lean-to with a Mylar blanket makes the fire exponentially warmer, and you don't have to worry about melting to your skin.
>>690634
looks like /lit/ is here
>>691733
best would be to build a half-parabolic wall and sit in one focal point while the fire is in the other.
you might die of heat stroke if not cold enough.
>>688802
at about -10 your ass is going to want to be in the fire.
>>690173
Maybe make it a really effective blanket that's more comfortable than the emergency blanket alone? Alternatively, maybe it could function as an insulating ground cover or underquilt. I'm not really sure, it's why I was curious.
>>695060
mylar blanket is not worth shit if you place it on the ground. it has no contact insulation properties.
it reflects infrared radiation heat loss back at your skin. it shouldn't even touch your skin.
>>688778
Y'all niggas need Wim Hoff.
>>695204
I had a feeling that was the case. That's why I was wondering if it would work if sandwiched between wool blankets. Like, if they were sewn together, with the mylar acting something like the filler for a quilt. Admittedly, I don't completely know what I'm talking about, which is why I was asking.
>>695745
wool blankets breathe which means vapor escapes thru it's a good thing.
space blankets are emergency item when fighting hypothermia you no longer sweat.
>>688778
>sheltered from wind and rain
>near a fire
So you're prettymuch in a heated home?
>>688937
kek
>>688778
This is impossible to determine without knowing the humidity. You're looking at a 20-30 degree F range at least.
>>699879
isn't this a worksafe board or something?
>>699994
nevermind
