Description
A good sleeping system can be your last defense. If the weather turns really
cold, the last refuge is to hunker down inside a dry spot with all our
clothing on and go to your bed. |

Car Windshield Sunscreen |
Heat reflector - I use a car sunscreen that has a reflective surface
and moderate padding. It wouldn't be effective as a ground pad because the heat
would transfer through because of conduction, and the padding is so thin it
wouldn't make any difference in comfort. I use this in my hammock because it
prevents heat loss through radiant heat loss, and I can use it a s a
sitting/lounging pad when eating and cooking. It is the lightest option at 5oz
for the 2.25'x5' |
