Bivvy Emergency Sleeping Bag – Lightweight & Compact – Waterproof, Thermal, Emergency Blanket – Mylar Sleeping Bag in Portable Drawstring Sack – Orange

Katia de Peyer $ 5.78

One thing you need to understand about mylar blankets is that they’re supposed to reflect heat. Absolutely remember this because there are a couple of uses that I don’t agree in the uses of.Can you use this as a tarp over my shelter? Yes you can. Just secure it in placeCan you use this under your sleeping pad? Yes you can.Is this actually waterproof? The fabric/material is but there are 4 snipped holes in each corner of the sleeping bag so water can definitely seep in so be careful.Can you use this as a sleeping bag? Sort-of – you can put this around your sleeping bag and cover yourself with it provided you’re already clothed with a jacket/pants/shoes with no skin touching the blanket itself. You need a layer of insulation (air/cloth/fabric) between you and the mylar blanket. If your skin does touch it, the blanket/sleeping bag conducts heat and essentially takes it away from you which is NOT what you want. In addition, if you cover yourself very tightly with it as a sleeping bag, there is a chance that moisture will build up through condensation. Again, this might make you even colder which is NOT what you want.Summary: Yes, I will recommend this because this is much better than the emergency mylar/space blankets I get from survival camping kits. However, please keep in mind, you need to use it correctly and this is a problem with most space blankets and this doesn’t deviate from this design. I am glad the materials are good at least and won’t tear easily. Prepare accordingly.

About the Author

About the Author

Katia de Peyer’s first book Dancing with MySelf, Sensuous Exercises for Body, Mind and Spirit (Nucleus Publications, 1991; La Source Press, 2026) introduced her method of inner-centering through movement, hailed by Diane von Furstenberg as a whole new attitude about exercising. Her second book Enjoy Your Healing Power (La Source Press, 2025) is an intuitive, helpful guide for developing our healing power. A ballet dancer born in Paris who lived in Spain to further her studies in flamenco, Katia moved to New York in the late sixties to start a successful career as a personal trainer. There she met the virtuoso clarinettist Gervase de Peyer in 1976. She and Gervase married in 1980 and lived for two decades in the US and then in the UK until Gervase’s death in 2017. Katia continues her work as a writer and healer in London and New York.
