Improvised thermal cover

[protus]

Also.
Water proofing won't reflect IR iirc.least not on the stuff I've used
Remember that night camo tarp I made you looked at it with the pvs5/14 years back. No reflection.
Now. Some nylons will so it'd be best to check prior to building it.

So far this is what I got going.

Used jute twine and a huge needle to attach the netting to the Snugpak poncho liner. The jute will also be handy for attaching other pieces of netting and/or burlap, etc.

I will paint it all probably next and seal all the holes where I went through the poncho liner with the needle to possibly stop any heat spots there.

If for nothing else it will make a decent ghillie cover if the thermal protection properties don't hold up well.

As I recall, one does not want to remove all heat as this will show you as a colder blob. But what do I know. When they first came out with all this Flir stuff there was a list from DARPA that listed all the heat signatures of items like glass, elec tape , mylar etc. and how to mix it up for camo. Now they claim to have a treatment for ACUs that helps defeat heat signatures. (INTENT) Mix up the signal to be less obvious. Hope this helps. If I can find the list again I will post it.
