We know a few things about cold, wet weather, and that's why we developed our line of all weather, survival blankets. It is a must have for hikers, campers and boaters. This lightweight blanket features a strong nylon outer layer coupled with an aluminum reflective layer on the inside. The aluminum side reflects up to 90% of body heat. This blanket comes in its own carry tactical bag and weighs only 1 lb, measuring 5' x 7' when fully deployed. Our extra large survival blanket weighs 3.6 lbs and measures 8.5' x 12' when fully deployed. The aluminum side of the blanket can be used to reflect heat, create a radiant barrier or signal for help. The other side is made of a durable nylon which can be used as a blanket, tarp or shelter when camping, hunting, backpacking and hiking. Keep one in the trunk of your car as part of your survival or emergency kit. All four corners have reinforced grommets that can be staked to the ground or strung up to create an overhead shelter. Dramatically Reduce Your Infrared Signature This arcturus blanket is designed to reflect heat, from which lessens your infrared heat signature, providing camouflage in the IR spectrum. Adding brush or a ghillie blanket on top will further reduce your heat signature without breaking up your profile. EXTRA LARGE SURVIVAL BLANKET NOW AVAILABLE Measuring at 8.5' x 12' when fully deployed, this is the Granddaddy to our standard-size survival blanket with the same legendary quality. Weighing in at 3.6 pounds, the extra large emergency blanket has 10 reinforced grommets for easy tie down when used as a tarp or shelter. Review: Rugged and Useful Tarp for Camping - I already owned the smaller Arturus Survival Tarp, but I wanted to get the XL version to have as an emergency shelter. It's HUGE!!! I removed the tarp from its sleeve (which is made of the same material as the tarp) and opened it up. It seems to be of very high quality and unlike lesser similar tarps, this one feels like it will last me for many years. Like the tarp material itself, the grommets are reinforced and feel like they will withstand some abuse. Due to the thickness of the material, it is heavier than my other tarps, but not overly so. I got the orange color which looks great with the black accents and will also make my position obvious if I ever need search and rescue (which I probably won't, but who knows?). Based upon the rugged quality, I am satisfied that it will be worth the price...this is a beast of a tarp!!! I am going to take it camping in a couple of weeks (Michigan in July!). If it's sunny, I will use stakes and poles to erect this into a lean-to shelter with the reflective side facing up. I think it will work well in this capacity. I am also a winter camper, so I will likely use it in the cold as a heat reflector by my campfire. Even though I haven't used this in the field (other than a couple of mock-ups in my house), I am happy with my purchase of the Arcturus XL Survival Tarp. The only con I've found so far is that once you remove the tarp from its sleeve, it's a bear to fold it tightly enough so it will fit back into it. The zippered sleeve is simply going to become a storage pouch for another tarp, I guess. If it doesn't perform during my camping trip, I will come back and update my review. Review: Durable, Versatile, and Built to Last! - The Arcturus XL Survival Tarp is an absolute must-have for anyone who loves the outdoors. This tarp is incredibly well-made, with heavy-duty materials that can stand up to just about anything. Whether I’m using it as a shelter, ground cover, or reflective blanket, it performs flawlessly every time. The reflective Mylar side is a game-changer for retaining heat in colder conditions, while the durable waterproof side provides excellent protection from rain and wind. At 10x12 feet, the size is perfect for a wide range of setups, and the reinforced grommets make it easy to secure in any environment. Despite its rugged design, the tarp is surprisingly lightweight and compact when packed, making it easy to carry on camping trips or store in a bug-out bag. It’s clear that Arcturus put a lot of thought into the design of this product. If you’re looking for a reliable survival tarp that can handle tough conditions, the Arcturus XL is worth every penny. I couldn’t be happier with it! ## Features - Arcturus XL Survival Tarp Black ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0CKV74G8M | | Best Sellers Rank | #77,679 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #205 in Tarps | | Brand | Arcturus | | Brand Name | Arcturus | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,505 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00850052952167 | | Included Components | Carry bag, Stakes | | Item Dimensions L x W | 144"L x 102"W | | Item Type Name | Tarp | | Item Weight | 1.98 kg | | Manufacturer | Arcturus | | Manufacturer Part Number | NC-AWSB-XL-BK | | Material | Aluminum, Polypropylene (PP), Polyurethane | | Material Type | Aluminum, Polypropylene (PP), Polyurethane | | Model Number | NC-AWSB-XL-BK | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Backpacking, Camping, Hiking, Hunting | | Size | 8.5' x 12' | | UPC | 850052952167 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Water Resistance Level | Waterproof | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Arcturus - **Color:** Desert Tan - **Included Components:** tactical bag - **Item Weight:** 3 Pounds - **Material:** Aluminum, Nylon, Polypropylene - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Product Dimensions:** 144"L x 102"W - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Backpacking, Boating, Camping, Emergency Preparedness, Hunting - **Size:** 8.5' x 12' - **Water Resistance Level:** Waterproof ## Images ![XL Survival Tarp - Insulated Reflective Thermal Camping Tarp - 8.5' x 12' (Black) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71+KKRy+sEL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rugged and Useful Tarp for Camping *by B***9 on July 1, 2026* I already owned the smaller Arturus Survival Tarp, but I wanted to get the XL version to have as an emergency shelter.

The XL is a beast 12x8.5 and is nice material, feels solid, gromets are well placed not just in the corners and the stitching is great, they did a very well job reinforcing the hornets, and they are big, I can almost stick my thumb threw one. The Mylar is nice and on the 4th I wrapped me amd my daughter(probably could have fit entire family) sitting on it amd snugged up to watch fireworks, instantly you can feel urself getting warmer, even had 2 fireworks go off on the tarp!!!(drunk neighbors😡) and it left a small white spot, was sure it would have burnt threw.....I like this product so much i ordered the regular size amd will now use this as cover and small one as foot print for my Bivy, I also bought thier wool blanket in grey...its great, so much so that they are local and I will be going for a visit and hopefully a job application, I stand by this product 100% 20 year Survivalist, Woodsman, FF, Paramedic, Hunter/Fisherman, Prepper. I was looking at buying the DD tarp but glad I didn't, the extra gromet holes wasn't worth the 30$ extra....buy this, if you dont like it return it...my money is you wont lwt it go and will look at thier other products, BTW comes in a zip bag made out of the same material as the tarp, so if you do get a hole or tear you can patch it up using that and just find another bag or ouch to keep it in.
