£1 Survival Shelter From Poundland

[gyxile]

was wandering around poundland and found this emergency survival shelter for £1. Its made of mylar and feels very light but quite strong, might be worth having one in the backpack or back of the car.

I have done a quick video review on youtube



I dont think you can really knock what you get for a pound .

They are strong. I've used one to make a spaceship in my classroom!

So that's why they're called 'space blankets'

Fab idea! I work in a reception class - I like your thinking Sue

Very nice, but looks a bit flimsy and noisy if it got windy.

Thanks for the review.

I threw a couple into my Good Will boxes.

It brings to mind a question I've been pondering, if you place something shiny (like that shelter, space blanket or even tinfoil) on a wall behind your plants, does it improve the plants' growth significantly enough to be worth the hassle?

Depending on the angle of sun to the garden yes but may also over do it and burn the leaves

I have one in the car-been in my little kit for ages. When we used to travel to rural Lincolnshire all times of year, I thought it would be good as a 'Bothy Bag'for those on the back seat in case of breakdown in Mid Winter.
