Right out of high school I worked for a moving company for about 8 months, so am well familiar with these things, big, heavy, lots of dense padding, lots of stitching in WWWWWWWW waves, never thought much past moving with them.
Then I came across this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oh6xGGjW5R8&NR=1 just now (almost done watching), point is past the cheesiness of some of it, but what I initially thought was a Ranger Blanket (army poncho liner), turns out to be a camo moving blanket used to cover TVs, wood furniture, protect floors, etc. and this guy uses one to line not only under his sleeping platform, but also under the tarp.
Past that, point being, I found a local place to buy, $14.99 each, so I'm going to get two tomorrow for camping (under sleeping pad comes to mind), general use, etc. Typically these things are 72"x80", so quite large, and heavier than a wool blanket, so not for lightweight camping, but car camping and emergency car kit goes, sounds like a perfect investment, especially for the price!
