Ask and ye shall receive. Useful information for the sporky time that is coming where only the hard hearted with nothing to lose even have a chance.
Danke, Spasiba, Grazi, Gracias, Merci, Thanks.
You’re welcome!
Does it matter which way you face the shiny side when used to reduce your thermal singnature?
Greta article BTW, I’ve pondered how to use both before. Thanks Bro and keep doing the things.
That’s a good question and one that I’ve wondered myself. A sheet of Mylar or other reflective material is going to reflect either way so I’m inclined to think that it won’t matter. Something to keep in mind- In order to reduce the thermal signature of the shelter itself it will be necessary to augment it with a lot of natural vegetation as well, so I don’t think it would really matter which way the Mylar is facing. I have a thermal camera and I plan on doing some more tests with this setup and I’ll be sure to share what I find.
