Thermal Shield

Due to the decreasing cost and broadening use of thermal imaging devices, it is possible after the SHTF that you may face a foe with thermal imaging capability. Max Velocity has been developing a possible solution, which he is calling his MVT Shield, which is essentially a tarp designed to block heat signatures. He writes:

What you can’t see in the photos is the layer that will stop ALL thermal signature. Note: this is not the same as trying to use an emergency blanket. Those things state that they stop 80% of body heat – and in trials that is exactly right. They will stop 80% of body heat, so you won’t see someones body shape beneath it, but you will see the ‘thermal bloom’ across the material – that’s the 20% that gets you killed. 

This product stops 100% of thermal signature, there is no thermal bloom across the material. It is slightly thicker and bulkier than a standard tarp, but not in a way where it can’t be rolled or stuffed into a pouch.
