the only issue I have with the way you set this up is that if you have an open fire you're sitting in a fire pack just waiting for a spark. I use green pie branches taken from many trees, (one or two branches per tree) In the snow I will use the same material to make a seat, neel pad, and bed. and just move them around through the day

Good information I don't remembering from Girl Scouts. They probably didn't teach things like this. Anyway, this video has been very helpful!

@rwkcontact As long as you separate your self from the moisture you will be much warmer.

@dlilngn It takes more than a spark to light this material on fire. It will smoulder for a while before it flames up.
