A bucket list, with real buckets. "Meat Matters," they say. My meat

Ain't it pretty? That's for survivalists who buy their camo on Rodeo

"of or relating to a maneuver or plan of action designed as an
expedient toward gaining a desired end or temporary advantage"

So I suppose if you accept that definition, and are hoping to get some
sleep, that is indeed a tactical blanket.
