Survival Blanket

If you're in the woods and a helicopter with heat seeking equipment flies over and you wrap yourself in a solar/survival blanket,can the chopper see your heat signature?

i dont know..but thats a good question

Staying with the survival kit theme, here a few of the many ways to use a survival blanket.

not online, in a store. which stores carry them?

Sporting good stores like Dick's.
I'm not sure about the survival blankets (i wouldn't doubt it though) but I'm pretty sure places like Wal-Mart carry hand and feet warmers.

No. Silver survival blankets reflect heat emitted by the body so it can be re-absorbed.

are space blankets/survival blankets an effective means of blocking infra red signal, thinking of using it as a tactic in paintball as a smart arse friend got some ex military sights which i feel is a bit of a cheat!

It should work to an extent. Infrared radiation is pretty much just heat. Curved mirrors are used to reflect infrared sunlight to power solar cookers, and radiate the heat from a bar heater. It is the shiny reflective nature of the aluminium space blanket that would do the job. BUT once the blanket has absorbed some of your body heat it will just show up in your friend's sights as normal... If you put it on top of some well-insulating clothes it would work better.
Mind you, Arnie beat the Predator's IR vision by coating himself in mud! Good luck

I got off the trail in the national forest and had to spend the night with nothing but a pair of shorts and tee shirt. So, now I'm looking for a good GPS that will retrace my steps.
I also want a mini survival kit to fit in a fanny pack. I could have used matches, something to cut tree limbs, space blanket, compass, flashlight and a GPS. Should I just purchase these separately or is there a good website that sells this in a small pack.

if you want a gps get one by garmin however you should only need the most basic in the range as for the surival kit try this although some of it is a bit OTT
