Title: Looking for: Combat Casualty Blanket
Post by: JohnyMac on April 23, 2013, 03:52:24 PM
I am looking for a "Combat Casualty Blanket." Not a cheap one that you can buy anywhere for $4.95 and have to throw it out after one use. So far, the only one I can find with grommets is below. Does anybody else have a suggestion or go to shop?

Thx gents.

My main purpose for the casualty blanket is for thermal imagery reasons. After the TI pictures of the bomber 2 in the boat I have been thinking. I also remember a whole section in Max Velocity's book Patriot Dawn about mylar, ponchos and TI.

That's why I have them.

SOL Survival Blanket (http://www.adventuremedicalkits.com/product.php?product=147#)

I've got one of the SOL Bivy bags and it fucking ROCKS, it is quite and much more resistant to tears . Compared to the old Mylar blankets it might as well say Carhart on it.
