I recall an older article about truck back-seat inflatable beds. I never found an article on the results of your investigation. Would you please push a link if possible? Thanks in advance.
Maybe a .5-1 kWh power station and a couple of pairs of rechargeable hand warmers could play an important role in a vehicle survival kit? In your past articles, you showed that an electric blanket won't last very long on with a small to mi-sized power station but these days you can get a pair of 6,000 mAhr rechargeable hand warmers for $25 on Amazon.
The ad says they last up to 20 hours and they are USB-C charging. They don't say what the operating voltage is so we won't know exactly how much energy it will take to recharge them without doing an experiment but if they charge at 5V, then it would require 30 Whr to recharge them. It it's 9V, then it would be 54 Whr but even then, you could recharge them almost 10 times times with a .5 kWhr power station! Maybe you or one of your readers have already done this experiment? It would seem like a couple of pairs of hand warmers and a small to mid-sized power station could keep one very cozy in an insulated sleeping bag like the one you mentioned in today's article for days.

I bought a box of these hand and toe warmers for winter parades. We put a few in the cars just-in-case… https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06ZYW6HDK/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_5A9YTYZYJRA1GN2NN4F8?linkCode=ml2&tag=rvelectrici0f-20
Looks interesting. 🤔
