    Please note it numbers itself. Also- some of these I do not think are do-able. I question the fire reflection.

    Fire reflection does work, that is about the most useful thing about space blankets. It reflects the waste heat from the far side back at you. However, I think the "survival TV" is just stupid.

    It may make a pocket of air as suggested above but people should not think it will be useful in a forest fire- i.e. the fire fighters that all were killed in AZ. They had reflection blankets and I assume that they were better quality then the cheap one you get off of Amazon.
