Hmmmm.....
Mine isn't a bag, but I have a 7 foot by 5 foot emergency space blanket and
enough duct tape to make it one. Mine is silver on the inside & orange on the
outside, weighs about 3 ounces & has Emergency Wilderness survival
instructions on the outside.

I can wrap it around me when I stop in cold weather, or use it as you did in
emergencies.

Thanks for the input,

Russ
