So what is that in bed size like twin or full king or queen close to something like that please respond Christmas is coming and my wife wants to get me something I love the idea of wool
Food for thought... What about like the Traditional wool blanket w/ fleece sewn in on one side for the one's that don't wanns feel the wool ???? 🤔 I'd have to have one !!! Thanks , ...Alan in Texas 🇨🇱
Is it possible/realistic to place a temperature survivability estimate on the frontier blankets like they do with sleeping bags? Would the heavy work in, say, 32-degree weather without a fire?
No. Too many factors. It's too variable depending on wool quality, weave, loft, etc. Then factor in individual differences like body weight, if you're a cold or hot sleeper, etc. Then weather conditions, temperature, air humidity, wind, shelter conditions, did you sweat heavily prior to sleep, did you eat and hydrate, what's your clothing like, is it dry, etc.... That said, as an example, I have a Faribault Woolen Mills 100% virgin wool queen size blanket. "Pure and Simple.".... with proper clothing, proper ground insulation, proper shelter, proper wrapping, and some sort of cover over the wool like canvas poncho, bivvy bag, etc.... it will take me down decently warm to happy warm into the 20's °F, WITHOUT a fire. But, again, lots of factors, your personal skills, experience, and knowledge with wool blanket camping. When trying to get into wool blanket camping, it's better to try this stuff out, dead of winter, just outside your home BEFORE giving it a try somewhere far out into the wilderness. FOR ME, I can get toasty warm with wool and I have never had a regular, properly rated sleeping bag I've been warm in... it's so dependent on the individual and other factors. Other people will tell you that you'll die below freezing in wool and you need a sleeping bag. The only way to know is personal testing.
I have an autoimmune disease, that is triggered by bird dander. Can no longer do down. Wool does keep you warm when wet and actually easier to regulate the temperature by the number of layers.
Love your Wool blanket. I have had it for a few years and it has held up Great ! The Frontier Blankets look Awesome !!!
Just purchased two of your regular wool blankets recently...
My wife would have me tell you "THANK YOU!!".
Wow! I haven't seen a wool blanket for fifty years! I'm ordering one. My grandparents always threw one over me when I stayed at their home.
I have four of his original wool blankets. I love them!
Oh and a plug for their quilt! It's great, very warm and comfortable. I haven't used it out in cold weather yet, but should be fine.
THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Frontier heavy would be awesome for keeping in a car kit
Not being critical or a smart-ass, but how do they compare to the Hudson Bay blanket?
Hudson Bay. Makes the best
Faribault Mill blankets are just as good.
What country are they made in, is it virgin Wool ?
