As much fun as summer activities can be, there are many people who prefer the cool chill of winter to enjoy their adventures. I personally find it difficult to choose a favorite season but I have definitely spent my fair share of nights enduring the frigid cold in the snowy mountains. It helps to be prepared for the low temperatures that you will undoubtedly encounter. My cousins and I used to joke that you can always add layers if you are cold. But you are limited on the layers you can remove when you are too hot.
A blanket should be a high priority on your list of essentials before heading out to the frozen wild.
Mambe Essential Blanket
Mambe Blanket Company makes the ideal camping blanket for all seasons. The blanket has two sides, one is a soft nylon and the other is fleece. Thanks to the soft nylon side, this blanket is 100% waterproof & windproof. Meanwhile the fleece side provides warmth, giving you the best overall protection during any of your outings. The combination of these two materials gives you a high quality final product that is extremely durable. Proudly made in America, Mambe’s essential blanket is guaranteed for life! And it comes in your choice of over ten great colors!
These blankets are perfect for so many applications, you can take it pretty much anywhere you go. Lay it out with the nylon side down on wet grass to stay dry or bundle up with the fleece side to keep warm, letting the nylon shield you from the weather. It is about 5 by 7 feet, when flat, and weighs just under 3 pounds. With the stuff sack (sold separately) you can carry your blanket neatly in your backpack or toss it in your car, and not have to think about it. You never know when you’ll need a blanket but when you do, you know will know right where it’s at. The stuff sack is available in small, large, and XL, the large size is best for this particular blanket.
When your blanket gets dirty just throw it in the machine and either hang it up to dry or use the delicate setting on your dryer.
Emergency Preparedness
While the Mambe Essential blanket may be the best blanket to have on hand, you might not always be able to get to it in an emergency. That’s why storing additional emergency blankets in tactical, easy to reach, locations is good idea. The aluminized dual-sided blanket by Mylar is designed to retain up 90% of your body heat which can be lifesaving in an emergency. Sold as a 4 pack for just 15 bucks, Mylar Thermal Blankets are available in multiple colors and are all the standard size of 52″ x 82″.
