It will also come in handy if you get lost on a [camping or skiing adventure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rumpl-x-snow-peak-nanoloft-takibi-blanket). The reflective blanket is roomy enough for two people, because it's always more fun to be trapped with someone else. What I like best about the design is that [survival and first-aid instructions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/readystash-ai) are printed directly on the blanket, so you do not have to look around for a leaflet. You can always access them right on the blanket if anything happens. The bright orange (you would want to be easily spotted under such circumstances) blanket reflects up to 90% of radiated body heat, ensuring you stay warm inside. It is also tear resistant and is [very compact when folded](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/victorinox-pocketknives). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Earthquake Preparation Gadgets:** There is an opportunity for companies to develop more affordable yet effective survival gadgets for earthquake preparation such as the Heatsheets Blanket. - **Outdoor Adventure Safety Gear:** The Heatsheets Blanket highlights a need for more outdoor adventure safety gear that is compact, affordable, and easy to use. - **Integrated Instructional Design:** An opportunity exists for innovations that incorporate clear and easy to use instructional design for emergency situations such as what is seen on the Heatsheets Blanket. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Outdoor Recreation:** Outdoor recreation businesses can develop partnerships with survival gear companies to offer affordable safety gear for customers. - **Emergency Preparedness:** Emergency preparedness organizations can partner with instructional designers to create effective and easily understood instructional materials for emergency situations. - **Adventure Travel:** Adventure travel operators can invest in affordable and compact gear for their clients to ensure safety while on trips. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Safety-Focused Camper Blankets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nanoloft-flame-puffy-blanket.md) - [Utilitarian Emergency Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waterproof-first-aid-kit.md) - [Upcycled Outdoor Down Blankets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rebird-down-blanket.md) - [Fire-Resistant Campsite Blankets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/updated-nanoloft-takibi-blanket.md) - [Oversized Survivalist Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/basecamp-survival-kit.md) - [Pop-Up Emergency Shelters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terra-nova-bothy-bag.md) - [Collaboration Camper Blankets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rumpl-x-snow-peak-nanoloft-takibi-blanket.md) - [Bare Essentials Survivalist Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vssl-essentials-survival-kits.md) - [Multipurpose Camping Shelters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multipurpose-camping-shelters.md)
