You may need to bug out and live off the land even in the harsh freezing cold winter. It may be hard to make a fire in these conditions, and a tent may not be available to you.
However, as long as you have a few survival blankets like this guy did in his video from Wilderness Innovation, you can still stay warm and even have a comfortable night of sleep. After you see how he does it, you'll never want to be without your survival blankets again!
This is amazing! This guy made a camp using only three survival blankets folded together on top of each other and crawled in for the night. He monitored the outside temperature which got as low as nine below.
However, the temperature inside the blankets got as high as eighty-one. It was very warm and comfortable even though he was surrounded by the snow outside. If you don't have many supplies and need to stay warm at night when SHTF, you'll want to have some of these blankets with you!
Does he cut open a Tauntaun and climb in?
Saw people living under a bridge in 35 below temp. 65 below windchill 20 some years ago with nothing but clothes, and plastic. I was at that same time in a small trailer with gas heat, had to sleep in all my clothes, and shoes, coat blankets over my head because with gas heat the temp was only 10 degrees f inside. It can be done. Sure wasn’t pleasant.
I’m stealing this for my Christmas card letter
As well you should. It adds to the winter spirit. Then I moved to Oklahoma to enjoy occasionally 80 degree days in January.
I have done this.
He places the tauntaun next to the gas burner all night, and tells it how good it is. As it’s eyes close, the knife slashes, the man cut’s off the gas to save it for another day, climbs inside the tauntaun, and chews on hot succulent meat while shaking his salt shaker on everthing.
As well you should.
Funny thing John Garriga. My job at the time was a slaughter house. Cattle.
What? Wait. I didn’t kill any Tauntauns. Yes I was that cold, and worked at killing big animals. Hmm. Something is a foot here.Meh,$#%&!@*it. it all works out in story form.
Where do you get these blankets ?
Well I walked to school uphill both ways in the snow…
Thomas D Moore thought that was you for a sec.#
What makes these “survival blankets?” Where can one purchase blankets like these?
Duane Matthew
Wilderness Innovations makes them. Not inexpensive, but I want to try one.
The key here is to stop all the wind. Wool and good head coverings is key as well.

I walked uphill in the snow both ways, and a school was at both ends. Damnest thing to spend my youth doing.
Tauntauns arent the best shelters in a snowstorm. Their internal temperature is only Lukewarm…
I see what you did there, Rick Gale and I like it!
He could have also brought a tarp with him. An 8×10 tarp is not that heavy and is compact.
With my carharts on i can do the same
Here’s an idea…. How about we “evict” one ungrateful, whining, hating America refugee from their cozy Gov’t funded welfare lodgings and give them to this man!
With a new white blanket nicely folded? This is FAKE right? FB is so full of
Well, fall for it if you want
Get you a Yeti sleeping back, its good for -40deg
Those are not ordinary blankest either.
He was bundled up like crazy hat gloves I’m sure thermals thick coat hat that’s a joke I’ve slept in less and been just fine
Not unbelievable ! American soldiers did it for four winters in Europe in W W 2 ,many had frost bite,,and some died,,and to think some people don’t pay any respect to those who gave so much for us,
I can’t believe that our so call president Obama.would give money to those Muslims before we support ous homeless people and vet. They need a safe place to live,hoping that president trump will do better God bless America. And Donald Trump
That’ll throw them into fits !!!! Hahaha
Yes I had 1 bad$#%&!@*try telling me to take it down, I responded by putting 1 on his profile page have heard a word,it’s been 2 days and not a peep out of him , I was so mad that someone would think I hade no rights that I posted 25 times on ever site I could get to in 30 min, They are going to learn that they are not going to have their way all the time ,,,
He smart
No mention of how to buy one these blankets?
I hate sleeping with my head covered up.
