The Must-Have Winter Safety Gear of 2026
"It keeps your family warm in a dark house or stalled car."
Wednesday, October 7, 2026
"Imagine owning a little bag that keeps the people you love from freezing in their own homes."
Last winter an ice storm left my 88-year-old mother alone in a house with no heat, and I still feel sick when I think about it.
It started on a Thursday night.
Freezing rain had been coming down since supper.
Around nine o'clock, the lights went out at Mom's house.
She lives alone, forty minutes from me.
She called me from the phone by her bed.
If someone you love lives alone, you know that call: "Honey, the power's out."
I told her what everybody says: pile on the blankets, go to bed, and it'll be back on in a couple of hours.
"This House Is Turning to Ice…"
All she wanted was to stay warm in her own bed until morning…
But the power didn't come back that night.
Her furnace needs electricity to run, so it quit with the lights.
She had no generator and no fireplace.
By morning she said, "Honey, this house is turning to ice, and I can see my breath."
I called her every hour, and every hour her voice sounded slower.
The roads were solid ice, so I couldn't get to her.
I prayed the whole morning.
When I finally made it that afternoon, she was in her recliner under four blankets with her winter coat on.
Her hands were like ice.
She was okay, thank God, but that day taught me a frightening fact:
More Than 2,000 Americans Die of the Cold Every Year!
That's more than heat, floods, storms and lightning combined, by the numbers from the CDC and the journal JAMA.
And it isn't only at home… In the Buffalo blizzard of 2022, people froze to death trapped in their cars, and help took 48 hours to reach some of them.
If you're like me, you thought a pile of blankets was enough, or that you could just run the car for heat, and nobody ever told you different.
But blankets only slow the cold down, and a running car burns through its gas in a few hours.
Once the engine dies, the car turns into a steel freezer.
In a house with no heat, the air gets colder every hour, and it keeps pulling the heat out of you.
First you shiver, and after a few hours you get slow and confused.
That's why Mom's voice kept slowing down on the phone.
So when the lights go out on a freezing night, your stomach knots up.
Will the power be back in an hour… or in three days?
I lay awake over it for weeks, but now I don't have to worry, and you won't either.
Listen to this…
Then one Sunday at church, I told the story to a man from our Bible study.
He's been a firefighter for 30 years.
He went out to his truck and came back with a little green sack about the size of a soda can.
"It's a rescue bag," he told me, "and it throws your own body heat right back at you. I've handed these to people stuck in their cars in a blizzard and to old folks in houses with no heat."
"My wife keeps one for each of us in the hall closet, and one in each of our cars," he said.
My eyes lit up. "I need one for everybody in the family!"
The Little Green Sack That Had Me Warm in 30 Seconds
I looked it up that night, and it had a 120-day money-back guarantee, so I had nothing to lose.
When my order came, I drove one straight over to Mom and put it in the drawer by her bed.
Two weeks later, another ice storm took the power out at our house and at Mom's.
By ten o'clock our thermostat said 48, and I could see my breath.
I sat down in my recliner.
I shook one out of its sack, climbed in and pulled it up around my shoulders.
In about 30 seconds, I could feel my own heat coming back at me.
My husband came in rubbing his hands, took one look at me and laughed.
"You're warmer than I am!"
Then Mom called. "Honey, I'm in that green bag, and I'm warm as toast."
I slept in mine that night, and I woke up warm at six in the morning.
My mother will never sit shivering in the dark like that again!
Now you can make sure everyone you love stays warm when the power goes out or the car dies in the snow!
What is it?
It's called TerraShell, and it helps keep families warm when the power and the heat go out.
TerraShell is an emergency bag that packs down to the size of a soda can and opens up big enough for a grown man.
Its mirror-like film uses heat-reflecting technology NASA developed for astronauts.
It reflects about 90% of your body heat back to you.
Your body is the furnace, so it keeps you warm with no power, no fuel and no batteries.
A Firefighter's Little Secret
Here's what firefighters know.
When they pull someone out of the cold, they stop three things at once: the wind, the wet and the heat leaving the body.
Most blankets stop one, maybe two.
TerraShell does all three for your family:
- It sends your body heat back to you, so you warm up even in a house with no heat.
- It keeps out the wind and the wet, so the heat stays in there with you.
- It stops a cold floor or a cold car seat from pulling your heat away.
- It needs no power, fuel or batteries, so it works the night everything else quits.
- One costs about what you'd spend on lunch.
What Else I Love About TerraShell:
- It's simple enough for my mother: shake it open, climb in and pull it up.
- It spares you a night of lying awake, wondering if someone you love is freezing in the dark.
- It's safe inside the house: no flame, no fumes and nothing to plug in.
- It's silent, so the whole house can sleep through the storm.
- It keeps your family warm wherever the cold catches them, at home or stuck in the car.
A generator helps, but here's what it can't do:

How does it work?
TerraShell is easy to use! Just three simple steps:Step 1: Shake it out of its sack to its full length.
Step 2: Climb in and pull the opening up around your shoulders, with your face out in the air.
Step 3: Keep the shiny side in, and your own heat does the rest.
We recommend one for each person at home and one in every car, so everyone you love stays warm.
A blackout hits the whole house at once, so each person needs their own.
But TerraShell does more than keep you warm:
Fits in Your Glove Box
Packed, it's the size of a soda can, so it fits in a glove box, a nightstand or a purse.
Big Enough for a Big Man
It opens to over six and a half feet long, so a tall man fits with his boots on.
Works Wet or Dry
Rain, sleet and melting snow stay outside, so you stay dry inside.
A Whistle on the Cord
A signal whistle hangs on every sack, so you can call out for help.
A Pack for the Whole Family
Packs of 2, 4, 8 or 16, so everyone you love gets their own.
A Free Freeze-Proof Guide
Every order comes with the Freeze-Proof Guide, and bigger packs add more gifts.
Why Is TerraShell the Must-Have Winter Safety Gear of 2026?
Listen to this…
About 70% of the power grid in this country is more than 25 years old.
It fails in big storms.
When it failed in Texas in 2021, 4.5 million people went days without heat.
Homes dropped to 30 degrees.
So I bought one for each person in our family: Mom, my husband and me, and my kids and their families.
Now nobody I love has to sit shivering in a dark house.
TerraShell comes with a 120-day money-back guarantee, so you can't lose.
