One of my backbacking buddies...
...had one of those cheap reflectors that Edmund used to sell... I should look that up... ah! here we go:

Although the version I remember was smaller and cheaper looking (or maybe it seemed so because we beat the hell out of it). But we dragged it along with us when we went out to dark skies (and when the hike was not too grueling). It gave us something fun to do at night.
Anyhow, it worked very well indeed, despite its low cost! This was in the 80's?
