Back country where higher aid is farther away, i'd upgrade to the "space" type blanket. Not sure I'm getting the distinction on these. Could you provide links to both for comparison?

I think he's talking about being sued for performing an intervention, even simple things like applying some gauze to a small laceration like is taught by the AHA or ARC. And always get consent if they are conscious. Could be considered an assault if you touch someone and they didn't tell you it was ok...assuming they are conscious so no implied consent. I've seen both types of the blankets you posted sold as "space" blankets because of the mylar. Some places are probably trying to show a difference other than saying, "heavy duty," but doesn't seem to be universal. |

For vehicle carry, thrift shop wool blankets work as well. Multiuse. |
