Product Description
Arcturus. Born in the Pacific Northwest.
We’re Arcturus, an outdoor company from Washington State. We know a few things about cold, wet weather, and that’s why we developed our line of all weather, heavy-duty survival blankets. It is a must have for hikers, campers and boaters. This lightweight blanket features a strong waterproof outer layer coupled with an aluminum reflective layer on the inside. The aluminum side reflects up to 90% of body heat. This blanket comes in its own carry bag and weighs 1.4 lbs, measuring 5′ x 7′ when fully deployed.
Designed to Provide You With Protection When You Need It Most
The aluminum side of the blanket can be used to reflect heat, create a radiant barrier or signal for help. The other side is made of two layers of durable polypropylene which can be used as a blanket, tarp or shelter when camping, hunting, backpacking or boating. Keep one in the trunk of your car as part of your survival or winter kit.
All four corners have reinforced grommets that it can be staked to the ground or strung up to create an overhead shelter.
Dramatically Reduce Your Infrared Signature
This blanket is designed to reflect heat, and by doing so, it also temporarily blocks your infrared heat signature, providing camouflage in the IR spectrum. Adding brush or a ghillie blanket on top will further reduce your heat signature while breaking up your profile.
EXTRA LARGE SURVIVAL BLANKET NOW AVAILABLE
Measuring at 8.5′ x 12′ when fully deployed, this is the Granddaddy to our standard-size survival blanket with the same legendary quality.
Weighing just over 4 pounds, the XL survival blanket has 10 reinforced grommets for easy tie down when used as a tarp or shelter. Best of all, it packs down to 4 in x 10 in x 14 in inside the included carry bag.

Go to gear for versatility.
If I had nothing this is an optimal piece of gear.Great for any kind of outdooring. For the size and weight it does alot!Great vapor barrier wind proof and insulating.Id use it as a blanket under a regular tarp and it works fantastic. Typically i use it with my stove or a heat source in cold weather and in warm weather I use it to dry my wet clothes or keep off harsh sunlight.Id imagine it’s great for car camping or anything else. Portable rolls up to the size of a tall can.Cons, Dirt sticks to the fuzzy surface but not as bad as you’d expect. Its not super durable probably lasts about 6 months of continuous use but it’s fair for the price.

Versatile Tarp / Many Uses & Functions
Extremely light weight + reflective side + camo side + rip-stop weave + reinforced corner grommets + tucked stitching make this tarpaulin a versatile addition to your pack. Uses: ground sheet, rain fly, wind break, dew/rain water collector, drag carry sheet, open shelter, shade/camo cloak, rain blanket, body heat or fire or sun reflector, over/under sleeping bag blanket, stretcher, food & gear hanger/sling, help/emergency signal and location flag. It takes up very little room, especially if you roll it around your tent equipment.

Super sturdy, reflects the heat
I purchased this tarp after seeing it used on the “Corporal’s Corner” survival channel. Around 5×7 feet, just the perfect size to fit under an average 2- or 3-man tent, it comes in its own little zipper case (for easy pack-down) and is super sturdy, but not too heavy. It will keep most rocks and twigs from poking a hole in the floor of your tent. The second night we camped, it turned freezing cold. This tarp made the difference between crawling in shame to a hotel versus toughing it out with sub-freezing temperatures. While we were never “warm” (we still had to put on multiple layers of clothing), the reflective surface definitely helped.TYPE OF CAMPING:1. LONG-TERM TREKKING: If weight is important to you (i.e., if you’re hiking the entire length of the Appalachian Trail), this tarp will add a bit of weight to your pack. If you buy this (I recommend you do either way), you’ll want to make sure you have the correct ratio of weight-to-usefulness when you compute the warmth-ratio of your sleeping bag and sleeping pad as you’ll be very sad if you have to leave this nice tarp on the trail when reality hits about how much gear you have to carry.2. MINIMALIST CAMPING: If you are roughing it with just a survival poncho and some para-cord for a makeshift shelter, than this is definitely the tarp you want to carry with you. It completely blocks wet ground, or keeps the rain off your head if you suspend it from the handy grommets, and the reflective surface is way better than those flimsy mylar “survival blankets”. While this is called a “blanket” it is more of a sturdy tarp.

Works great
Got this product to use as a heat reflector above my tent. Worked well. Well made. Grommets on corners make for easy tying. Plus, can serve as a safety blanket as advertised. Only con, it’s not as large as I had assumed, but probably didn’t read directions. Would recommend and buy again.

Lightweight, Versatile, and Essential for Outdoor Adventures
The Arcturus Heavy Duty Survival Blanket is an absolute must-have for anyone who enjoys camping, hiking, or needs a reliable emergency blanket. I was impressed with how well it performed during our recent camping trip, and it’s become one of our favorite pieces of gear.The Mylar reflective side is perfect for reflecting heat or creating a radiant barrier, which is especially useful when you need to keep warm or signal for help in an emergency. The polypropylene side adds durability, making it great for use as a ground tarp, shelter, or even as a waterproof blanket. We’ve used it as a windbreak around our campfire on windy days, and it worked beautifully to keep the warmth in while blocking the cold wind.At 60″ x 82″, this blanket is a great size for all kinds of uses, whether you’re setting up a shelter or laying it out as a ground cover. Despite its size, it’s incredibly lightweight at just under 1 pound, and it packs down small into its carry bag for easy transport. We were pleasantly surprised by how easy it was for our 11-year-old to set up and take down the shelter.The reinforced grommets are another great feature. They make it simple to hang or secure the blanket, and the grommets are strong enough to withstand the tension when tied down. It’s clear that a lot of thought went into the design and durability of this blanket.Whether you’re using it as an emergency shelter, a tarp, or just keeping it in your car for unexpected situations, this blanket is super versatile. It’s also waterproof, which makes it useful in all weather conditions. It’s incredibly strong, durable, and packs down light, making it an easy addition to your outdoor gear or emergency kit.Overall, the Arcturus Heavy Duty Survival Blanket is a fantastic, multi-purpose product that holds up to its claims. Whether you’re in the woods or need it for emergency preparedness, this blanket is a reliable and practical tool. Highly recommended!

Absolutely indispensable piece of kit, especially for wet weather and especially for winter camping. I use this as my ground sheet, and with the reflective side under my sleeping pad and pulling the top over my sleeping bag, it easily adds about 5°C of comfort to my sleeping system. Folded up, it makes a great sit pad, and goes under my hammock if I have to set it up as a ground shelter. Strong grommets allow for rigging as an overhead shelter, as well.While not the most compact, it is relatively lightweight and slides easily into the back of my pack. Its usefulness for a variety of outdoor situations has earned it a permanent place in my camping pack.

Je dis “semble” car je ne l’ai pas encore testé sur le terrain (c’est pour très bientôt) mais, comparée à celle que j’avais avant, elle est beaucoup plus costaud et les oeillets sont plus grands ce qui est appréciable.

This survival blanket is quality and strong. Large size to cover 2 people easily. Packs down into a useful pouch that can double up as a warming pouch for ration pack food when warmed up. The bright orange serves as an emergency signal aid too. The grommets are a handy touch too. If safety is what you want in the winter or out in the wilds, then this is handy to keep close to you.

Habe diese Plane für meine Fernwanderungen gekauft, um unter anderem bei kühleren Temperaturen die Wärme vom Feuer und Körper zu erhalten. Denke das wird es auch, doch die Plane ist beim auseinander klappen extrem laut, da ist nix mit leise und unerkannt zb. Zu biwakieren. Die Plane wird in einer Tasche mit Reißverschluss geliefert. Der Reißverschluss ist jedoch so klein und dünn, dass dieser schon beim 1. Öffnen leider abbrach. Werde einen festeren Ring dran hängen

Vlotte levering en goed verpakt. De tarp ziet er goed uit. Ik ben benieuwd of de ringen het lang volhouden. De ringen zien er goedkoop uit. Het materiaal rondom de ringen ziet er goed uit en voelt stevig aan.
