You can also double it up and put it onder your coat for a incredible warm wind-blocker. I have a small piece of one in my running backpack for when it gets really cold and wet. Keeping the core warm does loads of good !

[@mattjusa]

Awesome tip. I put one in my bag . If there was a contest for best tips from a channel you would win hands down

[@joannekeefe426]

Hey John of course! I made a score. The end of the fall i got 16 of these on a walmart clearance rack for 16 dollars. They are more rigid than the dollar store ones definitely making it a bit harder to carry but they are more rigid. I'm going to keep a few and give the rest to the homeless. Hope you doing well. Cheers!

[@IntenseAngler]

Hey Joanne! It definitely sounds like you made an awesome score... 16 of the more sturdy ones for 16 bucks... very nice! How incredibly thoughtful and kind of you to give some of them to the homeless... that will be a gift beyond measure in helping to keep them warm during this time of year for sure! You're my kinda people :-) All is well over this way. I hope that the same is true for you! Cheers! -John

[@mountainwolf7500]

Since I saw this video I have used this trick on every single snow camping trip. Amazing and useful!

[@teejay3272]

I've been a backpacker for a while and think I have a pretty good handle on how to go about it. But THIS was one of the most clever tips I've heard in a long time that NEVER would have crossed my mind. Awesome man! I'm picking one up today. No questions asked.

[@PaulDeFitter]

I've been using one of them for about 4 years now, can also be used to waft the fire, use as a pot cosy, use in the hammock in the fall months, use as a cape over your shoulders, etc etc, don't leave home without one : )

[@KeyofDavid5778]

That's a incredible Winter camping tip! I usually bring hand warmers and tape one to the bottom of my wool socks... put another 1 in my pocket and another 1 in my chest pocket !

[@2campinallweather319]

Hey John, I'm sitting on mine in the house right now, lol. I pulled a muscle in my back, the extra heat helps immensely. I can reinforce your statement been using mine for ages and here in damp old Scotland it really does make a difference. Keep up the good work and seasons greetings to you and yours John. Atb, Jai

[@StealthyNomadica]

I bought a roll of this to make window inserts for my SUV. Now I know how to put the scraps to good use! Thanks!

[@IntenseAngler]

My pleasure! I'm happy to hear that this helped with a few ideas for using up some of the scraps from your SUV project :) Thanks so much for your support by the way my friend!

[@yatyas311]

This guy's videos are always awesome! Always professional

[@IntenseAngler]

Thank you very much. I really appreciate the compliment my friend! ATB

[@AndyYungChow]

Also very good to get into the car seat with this on top... on those very cold startups in winter...:D

[@philipculbertson55]

Glad to have you back.

[@GreybeardtheSurvivor]

I trimmed 3 of these and added Velcro at matched intervals along the edges. Now I have 3 camp chairs/ground pads and they can joined for a FULLY lined hammock or tent...or layered for extra cushion...or...one can serve as a fire reflector...or... 3 pads with Velcro connectors for about $4 and weighing only a few ounces. This was a no-brainer for me!

[@TimmyBobinson]

Really great having you back John. I enjoy watching your videos late evening to relax before sleep. From the UK.

[@clippylady9837]

Great idea! Thanks for placing the link in the prior video I just watched. I have a greater appreciation for car sunshade. Will be buying a few in the near future. Be well, stay safe ... and warm 🌞 Victoria

[@erinowl4407]

Great multipurpose tip. Thanks for sharing it.

[@woofbark4475]

Excellent idea and also works to slightly drop the temperature in the sun laying them on the tent.

[@uscgalpha91]

Great tip, Picked up a sunshade at Goodwill for $1. today

[@massachusettsprepper]

I use some bubble wrap reflectixs that I purchased from Home Depot. It has a little bit more bulk, but it also gives some added warmth as the bubble wrap has trapped air in it. Thanks for the informative video and thanks for sharing.

[@randommann6240]

Glad to see you back! Keep em coming.

[@kyle_noseworthy]

Great ideas! The problem of kneeling and sitting around in the snow is something I've been thinking about lately. I think this will solve my problems! you get a lot a size for the weight to, compared to one of those bench pillows or tree-stand cushions! Thanks!

[@heavenleigh1564]

Very awesome info on keeping warm!! Great video!!

[@nutthrower]

great tip, who would have thought - I usually take mine out during the winter months but it's going back in the truck today - thanks

[@colonelchimp]

as always John, its the simple things that do the trick, cheap is always good, cheers for sharing, atb, Dave

[@CommonCentsOutdoorsman]

Not just for windshields anymore! Good thinking John!

[@IntenseAngler]

Lol! So true man... so true.

[@ppger44]

Great idea and their light to carry.

[@ridebks]

Awesome piece of cold weather gear. Many, many uses!

[@IntenseAngler]

100% agreed my brother!

[@NickMorgan256]

Great to see you back posting! Love the channel

[@bennyvoncannon197]

Just happen to have one will try. Thanks.

[@lorus511]

I always keep one in the car, didn't realise it had so may uses. I particularly like the kneeling pad. Thanks a lot & ATB for Christmas

[@nancyrapose4579]

Thank you I'm going to use my sun shade to keep my litty warm outside since it's very cold right now in Washington state.

[@IntenseAngler]

You're very welcome Nancy. I hope that it helps keep you a bit warmer over there in Washington :) Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment by the way... it means a lot. Your neighbor over in Idaho..... -John

[@SoulSurvivorX2]

Great tip. Awesome to see you back making videos :)

[@IntenseAngler]

Thanks! It's definitely great to be back :) Happy Holidays my friends!

[@billb.6773]

Great idea. I will be adding one to my winter pack.

[@bashfulbrother]

Great tips. I have very cold feet and this and the one on using this for a boot are really going to be useful. Very cool and innovative idea. Thanks.

[@Countryprepper]

That is an excellent tip! Going to have to get one just for that purpose.

[@timmyturnridge1878]

Great tip! Thanks Tim England

[@Bandicut]

Thanks for this quick tip. I always carry a cut down pice of a car sunshade in my backpack. It's so light and so small in pack size. I have always a dry seat in cold or rainy weather conditions. Cheers Uwe

[@Winkiedoodles]

Looks like several great uses for a common vehicle accessory. Try to stay warm out there. Don

[@IntenseAngler]

Amazing the uses we can find for things when necessity requires, eh? ;) Happiest of Holidays to you and yours my friend!

[@Jeffrey2038]

I have an "RV" size sunshade. Probably good for the whole tent

[@BAAMRanch]

They actually work REALLY well

[@mycinemaromance5820]

Going to get one for my bag!

[@GatorLife57]

Thanks for sharing and I hope you your family have a blessed Christmas & Happy New Year !!! Wolf

[@SpiritofWildWings]

So very true. I use one in my hammock in the winter. And I buy them at the Dollar store.

[@IntenseAngler]

Great idea using one in the ol' hammock :) Do you find that it makes quite a bit of difference warmth-wise while hangin'?

[@SpiritofWildWings]

IntenseAngler Absolutely! The foam-backed side secures it from slipping in the hammock and the mylar blocks convection while reflecting body heat. I have used one since I saw a video where Greene Dean made a solar oven with them. I shot a video on that, but I can't remember where that foot age is. Again, great video, and I can vouch for the effectiveness of using one.

[@lunacb]

car shades rock my fav

[@apocalypsetongs178]

Nice tip. Worked great!

[@TerryCraigTheDisabledHiker]

Nice. I've been using these in my hammock as well. Works really good too.

[@bigmacsmalegmailcom]

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays John.

[@paulie4x1]

Thanx, Happy Holiday's. ..

[@IntenseAngler]

My pleasure. Happy Holidays to you and yours as well :)

[@markeii]

That´s a great idea ! i live in sweden and i can get hold of that sunshade but im more interested in the stuff you got in the states called reflectix and that stuff will give some cushion aswell.

[@benterwellen]

Great tip, ty and a "MERRY CHRISTMAS"

[@Krakology]

i just picked up 2 from homedepot last week on sale $5 each.. one regular and one large size. was going to use them this weekend and see how good they worked .. !!! have a good day

[@Laochri]

IntenseAngler As I am a Hammock Camper, The sun shade also is good for bottom isolation, At least until I can afford a 20° Underquilt. Saving my Quarters, almost there.

[@carolshuturan3071]

What a great idea. I can't wait to use it!

[@carbon1298]

Very Nice and Thanks for the Post.

[@meelas010]

i always make sure that the sleeping pads i use have that foil material on one side. it makes a huge difference, especially in a hammock.

[@Jetblast01]

That's interesting, I'm looking for other methods of using sun shades for insulating small areas, like maybe a car. But to directly lay on them like a mattress pad makes them more useful. Thank you again.

[@paulsheppard5837]

Thanks for that One of the things I use is a space blanket wrapped around the sleeping mat, however might have to start using one of those sun shades as everyone is talking about them Happy trails

[@IntenseAngler]

Right there with ya... always carry a small emergency blanket around with me "just in case". Do gotta say that the sunshades are a very welcome alternative to that annoying crinkling sound though ;) Happy Trails my friend!

[@paulsheppard5837]

Is have to agree with you, it has woken me up before now as I've moved Cheers Happy trails my friend

[@RyanFaeScotland]

I was thinking the same thing when I first saw what he was doing but the extra use as a general sitting mat and kneeling pad does give this more functionality over the space blanket, and I'm all about single items with multiple uses. :D

[@Cr0cket20]

Great tip. Need to give that one a shot sometime.

[@shcmoly]

Thanks brother. Nice tip. What is that tent?

[@ebony5766]

What a GREAT tip! Thanks!

[@papasolo2358]

Another great tip! Love watching your vids throughout the year and living vicariously through you and your outdoor adventures. Have a Merry Christmas.

[@hoosierfan27]

Great vid! Short & sweet and to the point! Thank you for sharing!

[@IntenseAngler]

Thanks! Really appreciate you taking the time to watch and leaving such a generous comment my friend... means alot!

[@chancelorlowther811]

Great idea never thought of it and still glad your back brother

[@flysubcompact]

That material is good stuff. I don't use a car shade, but I do use the Reflectix stuff (same material, but comes in rolls). It is an amazing insulator for the weight. Only drawback is it can collect condensation.

[@alfonsocasillas7290]

Thanks for the tip

[@asahpakome862]

Please do a video on how to pack for backpacking I could really use some advice thanks!

[@doogal1234]

Also works in a hammock, same idea.

[@jonathanstanley4971]

Hello. Thank you for all of your spectacular videos. I am wondering, what pants are you wearing in this video?

[@philais]

That is a dollar tree sunshade. I use it for the same thing plus I make my freezer bag cooking cozys out of them as well!

[@terrahnunley]

Do you have a review of the tent in your video?

[@neil_castell]

great tip, cheers for sharing,

[@bingnowtv]

great ideas. glad I found your channel. thank you !!

[@bryanr.3241]

I have one right behind me in my car at all times. Nice tip , thanks. Peace

[@neolithic3]

Merry Chrismas to you. I always really enjoy your tips and videos!

[@IntenseAngler]

Thank you very much! Merry Christmas to you as well my friend! :)

[@thomasnugent7602]

Very good, Thank you very much

[@brown55061]

Well crap, I cut mine up to make a pot cozy lol. I've been carrying the tiny fold up thermarest pad. The sunshade would pack up MUCH smaller and could actually fit inside the pack instead of one more thing strapped to the outside. Thanks for sharing.

[@BlindReflex]

You are truly appreciated!

[@IntenseAngler]

Thanks. Really appreciate the kind words my friend! ATB

[@drzmanproject]

hmmm, I wonder how well it might work as a lightweight underquilt for hammocks. I need something, but can't afford the down options right now...

[@PaCampingDad]

The problem will be with condensation. I sometimes use a small pad made out of refletix (basically the same material but lighter than a sunshade) under my feet in a hammock when using a 3/4 length underquilt. After several nights of being initially warm,but ending with cold feet and visible wetness where the pad was, I opted for different solutions. But go ahead and give it a shot when you are somewhere that you can bail out if you are too cold/uncomfortable.

[@2campinallweather319]

Worked for me so far but I had it UNDER my sleeping mat in the hammock. Atb, Jai

[@FlashGeiger]

Hennessy Hammocks has been selling a shaped version for years. It was the first insulation I used but have gone to under quilts now. I don't know why condensation would be considered a problem with this and not with a sleeping pad like some use. It was comfort more than anything that moved me from this to uq, although a uq is also able to be warmer.

[@2campinallweather319]

FlashGeiger I must admit, I have not had any condensation problems, just been warm and cosy ,lol. I shall take note on my next trip out (new years day)

[@drzmanproject]

+Jason'sBushcraft Adventures thanks!

[@mizzpellergingersnaps5989]

makes a good solar cooker, too.

[@Andysfishing]

Great idea John. Foil and insulation on those. Stay worm this winter. Andysfishing

[@Umitelikeme]

You posted this 9yrs ago 😮 you need to keep reposting...this is good info dude!💨💨💙

[@TomsBackwoods]

Great info John!

[@Ekdog]

Great tip! That tip you're sitting in front of looks pretty cool. What brand is it?

[@IntenseAngler]

+James Langford Thanks! It's a Kelty Grand Mesa 2p... awesome tent!

[@thepeacefulprepper8605]

[@shelbyandmargaret]

Very clever! And inexpensive!

[@heebs72gb]

Cool idea!!

[@TedsOutdoors]

Thanks brother! Great tip!

[@MeetMeOutside]

Great idea John. I used one of those back when I started to use a hammock.Best wishes and a happy new year ! Peace

[@itiswhatitissogetoverit3103]

Thank you

[@3nineteen319]

As always, good stuff !

[@rbarbour64]

I put grommets on each side of my sunshade to use it as a heat reflector on my camp fire.

[@Tsiri09]

Thank you- that's great information.

[@alanroberts4060]

Awsome tip. I'm of to buy two one for me and one for my wife, Cheers John. Al.

[@pnwadventuresandgearreview8749]

Like your tent I have that exact one!

[@IntenseAngler]

They sure are awesome tents, eh? :)

[@pnwadventuresandgearreview8749]

perfect for one person and your gear!

[@CampfireTalk]

So does this mean my all weather blanket could double as a sunshade for my truck? :) Great thinking outside the box. You the man

[@IntenseAngler]

I just use my trusty ol' Thermarest as a sunshade... since I took the real sunshade out of my truck and all... ;)

[@ToddDragonflyHikerBeal]

been using one for a couple of years :) good tip

[@CheapOutDoorGearReview]

Thanks for the tip and or trick
