The most common material for such blankets is Mylar, and Mylar can ignite rather easily - not just melt. If it does ignite the entire blanket will flame up in an instant. Keep Mylar well away from any open flame. I've seen this, but googling for info shows a mix. Here is one supporting anecdote: wilderness-survival.net/forums/archive/index.php/t-6363.html | |

It makes sense that since it's impermeable it could get condensation and moisture building up in it, for better or worse. Amazing to think about how it's essentially a big square of thin plastic wrap and foil. Thanks for the info! | |
