Think twice about this if you live in the Rockies...Radon => lung cancer.

If you have ever built a steel barn, with the pre-painted sheets of steel, they put thin Styrofoam,cloth-like pieces,between each sheet,it's a packaging material,and is meant to prevent scratching of the paint during shipping.
This stuff is incredible,If you are working even on a 70 degree day, if you get this stuff against you, you can feel the way it reflects your body heat. It feels like it is cooking you instantly.
That stuff amazes me, and I have often wondered if something similar is available for insulation.

Good info in here so far, but yes this thread will probably blow up on the OB. Plenty of folks who have built in rural areas and/or own camps where it pays to be minimal. I'd imagine more than a few have gotten creative with well water.

Might try it on the OB later. I'm tired tonight and don't wanna think but have bookmarked to read later.
