Since mylar is impermeable to moisture, the inside of your bag will be dripping wet in just a few hours. I know from experience when I had to sleep outside for a night without a sleeping bag. The condensation was a problem, as this water vapor will suck BTUs out of your body. Remember, water transmits heat hundreds of times more efficiently than air. This is why down sleeping bags are so inefficient when they trap moisture from your skin, and the water vapor freezes. The best insulation in the world is made by Wiggy's of Grand Junction, CO. It allows moisture to escape while trapping heat. Mylar is fine as an outer layer (water barrier) as long as it is NOT touching your clothing!

I remember I bought one of these a few years ago and when I use it to sleep in my car, some passerby came and saw me in this were scare their life out. They thought they saw a dead body wrap in trash bag inside the car. A cop came by and told me did I hid a body and I told him no it's just me wrapping myself in a sleeping bag that happens to look like a trash bag.

You should definitely keep wool blankets and cold weather sleeping bags in your trunk as well.
I don't know yet how well these work. I purchased a couple for me and my husband from Titan before
Christmas. 55 people in the US died in this latest below freezing temps as they were stranded on
the highways in white outs from the snow. :'( Hopefully this will make people realize just how dangerous
it is to travel not having appropriate gear/clothes for freezing temps. Even if you had hiking boots and
winter clothing, it would have been dangerous to try to hike out, first bc of the blizzard conditions, and 2nd
the below freezing temps. Clearly keeping water in the car is a good idea too, and some type of protein
bars or something in case you get stranded. You won't starve to death in a matter of days, but ofc
you need water to survive.

It was -3 where we live just a day or two before Christmas. It did move up to 8-9 degrees, but the wind chills
were -35 or colder. It is now 20 degrees, so it is warming up... but if we had decided to travel for Christmas
and gotten stuck, we would have been in real trouble. We prob would have died. I try to remember to
bring blankets with us, and I have a cold weather sleeping bag I had in the trunk (I need to make sure it's in there
again bc I think someone removed it. But I believe having these emergency mylar sleeping bags would be a
really smart idea. I am not sure if wool blankets (ours aren't wool, but I need to get some or make some) would
help all by themselves, or even wool with the cold weather sleeping bags in temperatures as low as what we saw
over the past few days. This was very unusual for our area, but you just never know when it could happen.
So many people were caught off guard and died stuck on the roads :'( MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A PLAN!
KEEP AS MUCH AS YOU CAN IN THE CAR THAT WILL HELP IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS!

Nice review, thanks for this video bud.

You were using it wromg, they say the correct way to use it is cut a hole in the sealed end and put it over your head. If your out in the open or even cut a whole in the UN taped side just for your face. It keeps your entire body covered for warmth. Never lie down allways sit with knees raised. Hot air rises. So sitting hot air rises towards the head keeping your upper body warmer. It works try it. The open end can be tucked under feet or part left open to allow air circulation to help prevent condensation and you getting wet.

Water bottle, candle, fleece blanket, space blanket should be in all vehicles for emergency. Peace

IMO, they can help temporaily if you then get assistance. The issue with all thermal blankets & bags is condensation. You absoutely must not ever have your breath inside because of the high moisture content of your breath. Even if you remain completely at rest with your breath outside the bag, your skin will exude moisture into the blanket of bag & this will after some hours conduct your body heat right out through the bag, making it totally useless & by then, all your clothing will be wet. You may get 6 hours or so till then, but after that your fate from hypothermia is just about assured. I have a sole Escape Bivvey, which is a somewhat breathable, more robust & reusable version of the same type of bag. Even with this, condensation is it's downfall.

If you want something that really will keep you alive a long time, keep a decent down sleeping bag in your car. The kind that backpackers use. Maybe an insulated pad to go under it as well. Next you need to generate energy & for that you need food. Ideally fat rich food for sustained body heat, not carbs. Pemican is a traditional solution, dried meat ground up and mixed with an almost equal weight of tallow & some salt & spices for taste. Your body can not continue to generate heat without an energy rich food. Insulation alone will not keep you warm or alive.

There are better options than this; SOL makes a bivvy that breathes, reducing the issue of moisture buildup. Getting wet will allow the cold to get to you much more quickly. There are also Reflexcel bags that have multiple insulating layers that work much, much better than keeping you warm; they also have an emergency jacket, and both come compressed into a brick that is easy to store in the car or under a front seat. Also recommended are the large size heat envelopes, which release heat over time; inside one of these options they will keep you warm. If space allows, a synthetic sleeping bag (handles moisture better than down) is probably better than any mylar option. Space is not at a premium in an automobile, so why go to the mylar extremes when breathable options are better?

Thank you for doing a little test. OK! I'm sold when I saw that temperature drastically increases because I'm the rare type who thrives in 90F or above. I get goose bumps even with 75F inside the house! I'm even comfortable sleeping in the house in a 0F down quilt! Lol. DanM cold blooded, huh?😅 I'm going ti get the Poncho version.

[clivewilkinson]

Add to your car kit some hand warmers. On a very vety cold night. Drop a hand warmer in there. Its like being in heaven. And as the hand warmer is in a reflective bag it hold its heat for ages. Its gorgeous. Even when your not in the car. I actually brlive thr correct way to use it is to cut a whole in the sealed end just below the seam for your face. Anf you put it over your head.

[drewstephans]

Great video. Nice use of humor to get your point across.

[sharonoconnelloconnell]

Thx for that info. I just received mine today!

[stephaniesavarese]

Yeah ! Someone actually sharing about this on the U-tube ! Thank You Soo Much ! ( Health Issue ( battle ) MS, Can ‘ freeze’ during the ‘ hottest’ months during the Summer, 😱. ( Last winter ‘ the ‘Grid’ went ‘ Out’. 😱 THANK GOD ❣️ Just In the - Nick - Of - Time The Electricity Came Back ON 😓 THANK YOU LORD 🙏 👀 😔 😯 🙂 😇

It would have been great had you stayed in the car overnight, but the sun was out so that was heating up the car, but try that experiment again, with 0 degree weather at night and see how well you fair. The good news is, if you get too cold you can bail and go into the house, but then we'll know the mylar bag failed.

[jjam]

Can you go inside a mummy sleeping bag then slide inside the Mylar bag? Not as much condensation would get to the Mylar then.

[georgeplagianos]

Hi Good point in 7:45 you said it was cold around your shins and below I think it's going to be cold having this bag touch any cold object in the car.. Yes your car would be the best place to be in if you ever get stranded. But watching that video with that young hunk looking naked in a mylar bag with nothing but a smile being outdoors we just can't buy that story. How could wouldn't keep your back warm when you're laying down directly over the snow. The top part of your body might be somewhat warm but the back of your body laying down directly on the snow ain't going to keep u warm. forget about it!! . It's something like cold induction. Ever sat on a cold metal park bench even with some warm pants on? The cold still goes through and this thin mylar cellophane ain't going to keep your butt warm at all. Maybe if you can use a yoga mat or even some corrugated boxes something to buffer you between the direct cold object and your back will help but not as much. I suggest if you you need to take in a cougar or cute little grizzly bear I'll get tightly to keep warmer.. it's always fun sharing this roomy bag with somebody or something that's warm.Yes l. like your honest reveiw on this very good thank you Happy Thanksgiving and upcoming holidays.. StayWell

If parts of your body are cold touching plastic parts of the car then a wet, snow covered ground i would guess would also feel cold? Have you tried it outside yet?

[commodoor]

In the ad the guy is sitting in an ice bath, then he measures his body temperature, and it's 94°F.. the problem with that is the that you start going into hypothermia at 95°F

What kills you is the time you're in the cold. Over time you'll lose your body temperature to the cold. That mylar baggie will not save you.

[sharpteethxyw]

Their is one down fall with them, you can get damp inside foil

[captaincodebook]

Gotta make sure you don't wrap it tight. Without a little air flow your sweat will build up and then you are wet...and wet in winter equals death.
