#13Those emergency blankets don’t work like normal blankets - by trapping air and preventing it from moving - but by reflecting heat and keeping it in.

I'm not a physicist but wouldn't this reflective effect be tiny compared to the prevention of convective heat loss?
The reflective action is impressive. They also act as a wind break and turn whatever clothes you are wearing into a more effective measure against convective heat loss.

#17Amazing, when you add the idea of a Swedish rocket stove ( https://hackaday.com/2021/06/01/disposable-rocket-stove-keep... ) this could make camping way more accessible. I've got some motorcycle camping planned, and own an auger for that stove purpose, but was looking for a tent, and this looks super interesting.

#20It's a baker tent[1] made from SOL Emergency Blankets[2]. They get warm, but what doesn't when you have a long fire in front of you. [1] http://ruralsportsman.com/rediscover-the-baker-tent/ [2] https://www.surviveoutdoorslonger.com/survive-outdoors-longe...
It's quite possible the author and I have different ideas of what a small backpacking fire looks like.
