G.I. combat casualty blanket
does anybody have any experience with one of them. they look like a space blanket on one side and o.d.green plastic(?) on the other. they have reenforced corners with grommets. how strong are they? i think the size is 64'' by 80''. how small can they fold up too? i'am an e-tard so i can't show the picture but you can see one at goldnuggetsurplus.com/cgi-local/SoftCart.exe/online-store/scstore/p-SB023.html?... thanks
Well son, it's like this....
(Old Timer's voice) Ya see sonny, waaaay back in the 60's, MPI brought out the 1st space blanket, which is just like the one your looking at now. I own a "casualty" blanket and several others to boot. Four with flouresent orange on the painted side, & one with Blue. They make a great "emergensy" tarp, fire reflector, or a wrap to keep you warm. MPI also makes one that has a hood in one corner and "hand-pouches in two others. "Emergency Essentials" has a great price on them. They're a lot stronger than those El-Cheapo's that are sold as "Space Blankets".:cool:
