Another great “tool” is a good boonie hat. Not only do they break up your outline, they protect your face and neck from thorns and ticks etc when you push through thick brush. You lower your head, and let the brim of the boonie hat protect your face and neck.

Thanks, that’s deceptively simple, yet I had not thought of a boonie hat, or any head cover, really.
WRT FLIR, I’d actually wondered about lining a blanket or other outer fabric with mylar for that purpose. I’m kinda jazzed that others are doing it for real, confirming that my brainstorming isn’t so far off the mark.
Today I finally got a good pair of boots that should also be good for the get-home-any-way-I-can bag. I live in dread of being caught out at work when for some reason it’s a wiser choice to abandon the car and follow terrain creases to safer territory. Not that I could eloquently explain my instinct, mind you, but I’ve learned to trust that small voice.
