Foil Sheets

RunzWithScissors · May 22, 2005

The other night, when I was standing in line at Mal*Wart, I saw a box of Reynolds Wrappers, 30 sheets of pre-cut 14" by 10.25" aluminum foil for a dollar. I picked up this impulse buy for inclusion in my PSK.

The sheets are fairly sturdy and seem to hold up to folding and unfolding pretty well. I like being able to just pull out a sheet of foil like pulling out a fresh tissue. I also think that 30 sheets should last me a long time.

If you want some ready-made sheets of foil for cup making, signaling, foil hats, etc. I think that Reynolds Wrappers are worth a look.

Are they the non-stick kind? The non-stick kind seem to be more durable than regular foil.

They say nothing about being non-stick. However they do have an unconditional guarantee, so if your emergency drinking cup fails and you die of thirst, your estate may be able to get a lifestime supply of aluminum foil

I hope they're the non-stick kind. I hate when my hat sticks to my head.

I always wear one to make sure no one can read my mind.

I lost my mind, so someone could be reading it and I wouldn't know it...

Gotta check out the 'lum'num sheets.

If you get lucky and find it, here's THE definitive source on tin foil beanies.

They also make a extra heavy duty foil bag that works well for any kind of cooking. I'd almost forgotten about them, but we keep a couple in each day pack when hiking.

Just fill 'em up and throw them on the fire.
A bit of water, hamburger, potatos, carrots, salt pepper, whatever else you want, makes a great meal.
