The Blizzard Survival Products have been around for 15 years. The technology originated in England, and it now used throughout the world. The Blizzard products are mostly used by emergency rescue teams, and the military. In fact, the Blizzard Survival Blanket has been endorsed by the US Army Medical Center Directorate of Combat and Doctrine Development and is the only blanket used to train Army medics in the treatment of hypothermia.
