Came here for the info, stayed for the mullet

His mane is glorious.
Came for the mullet… that is all.
Mullets need to make a come back.
Instead of slitting your blankets for ponchos, look up how to make a blanket into a wool hooded cloak without damaging the blanket. Often fastened with large pins (safety or medieval/viking brooch pins) at the shoulder, you can use a small smooth rock to put behind the wrap layers to create a bump that short paracord is wrapped behind, the cord won't slip off because of the bulb created by the rock.
“I always think I’m tougher than i am.” Freaking same. Got a sub brother!
EKTOS makes quality 100% wool blankets. I bought 2 "twin sized" blanets for $50 each. I genuinely love them and they went straight on my bed. They are a little thin, but they are woven tightly, so they take a bit to break in and floof up. Once they break in, they are nice and toasty.
I plan to get more for my vehicle and emergency bags.
(Im not sponsored, i just really like their blankets.)
There's a reason they're cheap; the reason is that they're recycled, 70% wool and the quality controls are hit or miss. They're decent enough for a cheap junk blanket you leave in the trunk or something, but they're not quality wool blankets by any stretch of the imagination.
I keep a harbor freight wool moving blanket which I think is about 70% wool and an camo quilted moving blanket plus a camo tarp in my SUV for both emergency and moving items. Plus have a throw blanket in there. I need to put my ghb with cordage and other essentials in my SUV too.
I've had one of those Mexican blankets for years in my yoga gear. They are nice blankets.
Sounds like a good combo! Definitely can't be too prepared. Thanks for the comment!
I thought I was ginger! Man, you are ginger AF! Skin cancer is real my ginger brother, stay safe!
Yes sir! Thank you and you be safe as well. I try to stick to the shadows this time of year lol
Like you, I have one of each. Dad & Mom brought me the falsa from Mexico, wool blanket from Woolrich, and the liner from a surplus store. Love 'em all.
HillBilly Guy you ROCK. YOU TAUGHT ME SOMETHING GREAT!!! You should do a separate video on using those sleeves. 💪
Thanks for the love!! I appreciate it!
That's the most Epic mullet i've seen since the 80's ,,i had a muller myself back then.
I sleep with a wooby under a wool blanket on my bed in the winter. Wooby makes a great sheet.
Some good info. Thanks. Take care.
I have all three of these and have used them all together and separately the woobie is the best to have any time
That's awesome, can't go wrong with a good woobie. Thanks for the comment!
Yep, I can't argue with these three choices. I'd choose the same and actually have. I have all three and use all three extensively.
One of my wool blanhets I use outdoors is actually a Uhaul moving blanket. It's thick, fluffy, and very warm. The best part is that they're cheap as heck.
That's an epic ginger beard you've got there.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess you've either got Irish, Scottish, or Scots-Irish (aka Ulster Scots) ancestry.
Those three blankets can make for a great modular sleep system when combined, letting to modulate what temperatures you can survive down to.
Yes sir! Mostly Scott with a lil Irish as well. Thanks for the love!
Great video. Thanks!
Great tips. Thanks bro.
That's awesome brother. I like the improvised compression bag that's great. Much love from Bama
Thanks for the support man!
From one large red bearded man to another, awesome video man!
Thank you brother!
I was confused. You showed 3 options, but the option that fit in the shirt sleeve didn't look like either 3.
I have found some inexpensive wool blankets. A standard double bed blanket folded double long ways works for me. I use a cot and sleeping bag, and the blanket is a great warmth enhancer. I had an idea. I have a queen size virgin wool blanket. I want to make a cotton cover, sew it in, the queen size doubled up. I think it'll be great. If I were to get wet, I'd cut it out of the cotton.
There is a warm blanket type, made from plastic bottles. Fleece? I tried it at a friend's house, pretty good.
That mullet is on point, bro 😂
Thanks! 🤟🇺🇲
Howdy from Corpus Christi Texas. Outstanding video 👍 👍
Nice round house bibs.
Informative and beneficial video
Thank you for sharing
Thanks 👍
Poncho, serapi
Monk robe, with hood
🤺💐
Arcturus makes great wool blankets. their queen size 100% virgin wool blanket is just 100. cheap compared to Penelton, etc I have 3 of their blankets
Dude you got the best mullet I've ever seen nice
Hey Big Red, looking forward to next vdo.
Thank you!! Haven't had time lately but I'll be back at it soon!
Military is 100 percent wool always
Good comparison of stay warm options and uses. 100 percent wool is my favorite but a 70 percent makes a good backup / addon for colder conditions. Both are heavy but sleep warm. Never owned a woobie but if I find one will buy . You know a good source ? Thanks for the review.
I agree!
I bought my woobie online years ago from a surplus store out of Oklahoma. But I recently just ordered my buddy one off of Amazon and he's happy with it so far. I'd just check reviews before you buy. Thank for the support!
I’ll take the wool blanket
Real man don't need blankets. Just kidding. I had a Mexican Flasa when I moved to AZ on my 8th birthday, 30 years ago. Finally took my 2 year old camping. I passed it to her. We both will have memories
love the "billybilly" stuff sack for woobie! (and your sharing it and all the.) why a woobie doesn't come with a slit to put one's head thru for serving as a poncho is weird.
They make some with buttons so you can snap it together to make a poncho so you don’t need to :)
Aye man, be good to yourself, you ain't fat you is big boy 😄
which back pack?
There is NOTHING more over-rated or over-hyped than the “woobie”, a word I never heard until UA-cam a few years ago. Yeah, I’m an old fart. We called it a poncho liner. It is a very thin and not dense piece of polyester batting insulation. ANY fleece blanket will provide more insulation. Having said that, yes I still have mine and it still has a place.
Agreed
Sadly, I do agree with you. I like mine and it’s a convenient piece of kit, but I also freeze my ever loving butt off with it if I don’t have other stuff.
Nice
I’d say you are rotund.
On the off topic why is wool and leather even expensive ?
Wool grows back and leather is harvested every time a cow is killed which happens all the time since meat is supplied to the consumers every single day.
Manufacturing processing, marketing, distributing
Facility, energy, labor.
Economics
🤺💐
Oh, can't forget taxes.
Are those your cows in the back?
Nah those are the neighbors. I don't have cattle anymore
Cheers from a Canadian hillbilly
Cheers to you buddy!
Stop calling it a woobie. Never heard that in 6 years in USMC infantry, called a Poncho liner or just liner.
I’ve never served so thank you. But yeah. When I first heard woobie I was confused. But apparently it’s an old term just common among campers
It's a poncho liner only a millenial who watched Mr. Mom one too many times would be caught dead calling it a Woobie.
Okay Rambo 😂
Why in the heck are you people calling a Poncho Liner a Woobie? It has never been called a woobie until those of you who couldn't spit shine boots and had to get berets just to perk up your morale instead of earing berets. It is a damn Poncho Liner, get it through your damn skulls.
Woobie sounds like baby-talk to me. We had poncho liners when I was in the Army.
