Step 1: BEDDING

Step 1:  BEDDING (Blanket, Emergency Reflective Blanket, Sleeping Bag)
         Staying warm and dry makes life a lot easier in a stressful time.

  • Blanket- one thing to think about is to have a big enough blanket to wrap around your whole body and feet. You want something warm like wool or fleece.  My friend suggested buying the holiday fleeces after they go on sale. 
  • Emergency Reflective Blanket-  Thrive Emergency Blanket $2.49. These are good for retaining body heat; they are water proof. These are also good for tarps. 
  • Sleeping bag: you will need to consider the local climate and decide how cold it will get at night before purchasing sleeping bags. The Thrive sleeping bags range in price $13.99-$149.99 depending on the degrees. There are also foil sleeping bags for $3.99
If you have a sleeping bag that doesn't have a stuff bag, you can store it in a garbage bag or one of the big ziplock bags to protect it. One of the best times to buy sleeping bags is at the end of the Summer season, when the camping gear goes on sale.
