Sleeping bag alternate

What ever you take, make sure it will dry fast. If you're under a tarp and your Blankey gets wet, thats a lot of weight to haul out. A snythetic blend is great, feels good to the skin and drys fast, ultralight. Some people use the silk bag liners you can get at Campmore. They pack down small, means you don't need a huge pack to carry light summer gear. Weight is always a consideration. The lighter your gear, the more beer you can carry.

Use this same liner in the spring and fall to boost your bag reading by 10 degrees.

I like the way you think.......

Instead of beer a little blackberry brandy goes a long ways.

I have a bunch of those blanket pins. I think they came from years back when hunting licenses were pinned to the back of a hunting coat.

They still are in Wisconsin....and yeah, the plastic holders get nasty and break, but I keep the pins....do have a couple of brass pins though.
Just a comment on emergency blankets and such.......something like that may keep you alive, but most likely not be a pleasant experience.
Personally, I usually am outside living, not surviving, and perfer to be as comfortable as possible.

Here the licenses are kept in a billfold or some such place. That way the DNR can stop you and give you the once over, that's all I'm going to say about that.
