“Emergency blankets should be carried on every hike, regardless of the length or difficulty,” Purinton says. “If you are injured on the trail and need rescue, it can take several hours for you to be reached by emergency personnel.” Lying on the ground injured can be dangerous, and if the weather is cold, it can put you at risk for hypothermia. An emergency blanket will keep you warm while you wait.
