Ok Bill,

The shiny side of the blanket is still just as fragile as ever I can see notable wear and scratches in mine and I only set it up in a few different configurations. Even check with my pinky nail and it comes off super easy!

!!!I REALLY WISH THE GUYS OVER AT AMK. WOULD COME UP WITH A SOLUTION TO THIS!!!!!

Otherwise its a nice little tarp just wish the reflective side was a little more durable!
