The cheapest THERMAL gear I have seen is around $10k, nightvision is a different story. Some NVG systems use a thermal intensifier but it is not quite the same as thermal and the range is limited. Theoretically you could defeat it temporarily with mud (didn't you see Arnie do it in Predator?

) or as others have said you could line the inside of your jacket with mylar.

As fun as these Red Dawn, Poo Hits the Fan (SHTF), and TEOTWAWKI (my favorite, The End Of The World As We Know It) are they usually don't get a warm welcome from the mods which you will probably see here shortly.

Keep it realistic and focused and enjoy
