User questions & answers

Question:	Dose this come in a green shade
Answer:	The S.O.L version does I'm pretty sure
Question:	Is it recyclable
Answer:	No, it is mylar with a reflective coating. The mylar alone--a plastic--might be recyclable depending on your area, but the reflective surface renders it non-recyclable. Better to reuse or repurpose it if no longer functional, e.g., cut a section to size as a ground tarp, waterproof liner for a backpack, etc.
Question:	What (easy) knot would be appropriate for tying this to a tree
Answer:	A two half hitch knot on one end that keeps it secure to one tree. The other side should be a taut line hitch knot, as it is adjustable and can pull the slack "taut". Most rope/lines will stretch a little bit after installation and the tent will sag. The taut line will allow you to address that and easily snug it up again.
Question:	How does it hold the heat in if both ends are open
Answer:	It doesn't hold heat, it reflects it. It prevents heat from being lost to wind, and more importantly water (rain, sleet, snow). It wil not hold heat, it will slow down heat loss by using the heat you produce and reflecting it back on you. It is meant to keep you from becoming hypothermic if stuck outdoors overnight. You can produce your own heat (eat and digest food, make a fire, boil water), but if your day hike goes bad and you are stuck out overnight, this is an emergency shelter. Set it up in a sheltered area to prevent wind from blowing through the ends.

• Thermal insulation and fireproof material。Helps maintain at least 90 percent of your body temperature and maintain your body temperature in case of emergency.
• Waterproof. Keep your body warm and dry to prevent hypothermia.
• Reflection. Use the emergency signal to get you found.
• High quality. Tear and tear resistant materials make this emergency shelter more durable than tubular tents.
• Design: The tent is attached to the ground with four buckles and four iron nails, which makes it easy to set up the tent. The door on one side is fixed and the door on the other side is equipped with a zip chain. When the rain and snow come, the door is zipped up quickly to ensure that the tent is warm and dry。 Reliable choice.
