Blankets
I've been buying disaster blankets (these are NOT those "emergency blankets") in 5 packs for $30 each. Warm, heavy, cheap. They're ugly, and hard to color coordinate with your tent though. Matt 11:24, 28 October 2011 (EDT)
These are very good if used with sleeping bags. Keep moisture and wind out, prevent hypothermia, and also add a lot of extra warmth but only if used in conjunction with normal sleeping bags or blankets. Not great alone, IMHO. http://www.mcrmedical.com/category/emergency-sleeping-bags.html $25/10 $113/50
