Hi, Loni,
 
Look online at hunting supply sites, such as Cabela's, Dick's Sporting Goods, and Gander Mountain.  A number of years back I bought my father special blankets--at the time they called them "space blankets"--that had a metalic side that radiated the heat of your body back at you (were less than $10 back then).  The metalic side was put next to your body.  I do not know how you will react to the metalic blanket, ES wise.  Perhaps others here will know.  But I do know that my father loved these and said they kept him very warm.  You could lie or sit on one and use the other one to cover with (I got 2 for my dad to do this when camping out when on hunting trips.)  If you cover the top one with another heavy cloth or down blanket that would REALLY keep you warm!  And I would think these would then not attract EMFs, or at least not as much.
 
Also they sell metalic socks and gloves and he liked these when I got them for him too.  I got some socks for myself and I personally have been ableto wear them without discomfort.  I put them on over thin cotton socks with thick socks over them.  (Buy your thick socks larger so they are not tight and cut off circulation.  Lack of circulation will make you colder.)  Also, there are heating "pads" which you boil or microwave which have gel in them and, for some of these, you heat them up when you want them, but others you can prepare ahead but get the heat out of them days or weekslater.  They make these in various forms, too, and I think there are ones you put around your neck as a neck scarf.  I have seen these, but I do not know if these were at Cabela's.  Might have seen these at QVC.com. I own one of the heating pads.  Mine has some kind of little beads in itwhich, when rubbed together, produces heat and becomes gel-like.  I got mine
at a five and dime store many years ago.
 
If the metalic blankets would work for you, those and the metalic socks (+/or gloves) would be most comfortable for sleeping.  If you have to sleep with boots and heavy coats and clothes on, that just gets cumbersome and uncomfortable (I have tried this on occasion myself when I have slept in the car, so I know how uncomfortable it is!)
 
Hope these work for you,
DIane

I don't remember where I recently read this, but some lady with a
bunch of health problems started sleeping outside all year long with
just a sheet over her - even in the freezing cold winter. If I
remember correctly her health was restored by this. Sounds pretty out
there. A quick google search doesn't take me back to where I read this ...

I have a pillow case half full of rice and tied a knot at the open
end. Heated in the microwave, stays toasty hot for several hours
under the blankets.

If you can stand to breath inside a sleeping bag, that can keep you
quite warm also. My brother does that when camping in the freezing
nights of early spring and late fall.
