Just the way I’d wrap my kids up when they were newborns in their receiving blankets! Lol... not only keeps one warm but provides a subconscious sense of security as well I’m sure... love your informational and short videos...not much time to sit for some of the much longer ones at time so I can slip these in all day and still get my Bushcraft UA-cam fix! Thanks!
Great video and probably the best wool blanket show I have seen. You should stress more of using ground insulation since the ground will suck out body heat three times that of air. Also, your advantage is the size, whereas bivouac people use government surplus blankets are not cut so big. Also, the blanket you are demonstraiting is not tightly woven with boiled wool that can take the beating as a military blanket can but I like the application of the large blanket as a trade-off, which is why I use the Hudson Bay 6-point. Additionally, you will find that you achieve a better berito wrap if you use a rectangle blanket such as the HBC 4-point about 90×74 or so. But then there is the Swiss Army blanket.
Whether we do it your way (the better way) or the first way that you showed, I was thinking that ideally you bring a 2nd wool blanket, fold that in half as your base, and now we have 3 or 4 wool layers between us and the ground instead of 1 or 2. Of course I’m more interested in car camping where packing weight isn’t a big issue
so way back in 2010 i had this video demo'ing this method. it became quite popular. then I went to the 2010 Pathfinder gathering and two Gentlemen walked up too me and asked if i was the person who had done the wool blanket wrap video they had seen posted on a few forums. i said yes, of course i was. they asked me to do a demo for them and show them first hand....so i did. suddenly i felt as if something was wrong... the guys were not paying attention anymore, so i looked over my shoulder and there is Dave. "hey Morgan? whatcha doin?" of course i was quite embarrassed because , well, i am not a instructor, yet here i am teaching at Dave's gathering.... i was expecting to get blasted. but the last thing i ever expected actually happened. Dave said "how come you are not teaching the rest of us!" so he put me up in front of the whole gathering and I taught everyone this method of how too wrap up in a wool blanket. best part was when Iris walked over and said...."oh look, Morgan's is all swaddled up like a baby!" the whole place fell into laughter.... and well that was that. you just got subbed for bringing back a wonderful memory for me. thanks bro.
Good info, thanks! One of the biggest mistakes people make is trying to insulate themselves from the wind but not the ground! Btw, how thick is your blanket and where did you get it? Mine is 90" x 120" which I like better but it's not the highest quality!
Dan, you put out well made videos and information. Thx, i hope your channel catches on but i always try n check them out regardless if im interested in the topic or not.
Hey Dan, why did you not bring this blanket on the survival show “alone”? I notice that alot of the contestants use wool blanket in videos, but didnt bring them on the show. Why is that? Atb -
Dan... I found your channel last night and I'm subbed! I like your presentation.. keep the videos coming. I am about the same weight as you and a couple inches taller and find that 2 twin size blankets work way better for me than a single queen or king size. They are easier to regulate heat and warmer than one blanket. They are also more versatile for other uses. Will you be doing more traditional/reenacting/muzzleloading type videos? Thanks for the video.. Shad
@@michalurbanful The simplest way for the night is to use the burrito method with one blanket for the lower half (chest to feet) then take the 2nd blanket, turn it sideways, drape it over your shoulders leaving room for an optional hood and your set. Tighten or loosen the wrap as needed for both upper and lower!
looks like this method wraps your legs up pretty snug which decreases dead air space and can be pretty uncomfortable, unless you like to sleep like a vampire in a coffin .

Watching your early videos from almost a decade later, you're still the man Dan
It’s like a baby swaddle!! 😂
Man swaddle! Love it
All that work wrapping up will keep you warm.

I can't believe I've been using blanket wrong all these years! Thanks man!

Morgan Garrett what
Love these quick bushcraft skills tutorials. Good stuff!
A pleasure to watch your older videos.
Blanket it's a bakers bundle and that thing is super thick. Maybe 3/4 inches no joke
Thanks guys. Much appreciated!!!
Thanks for tucking me in
Great! Much needed. Thanks!

Great information Dan I still use a bag almost froze in the military wool blanket ! Thank god for mylar but will have to try that wrap thanks
kabaruser sleeping bage certainly have their place, but a military wool blanket is garbage compared to a true high quality wool blanket.
@@bobholzman4242 they get the job done
I am catching on late! Just found your channel...and its wonderful. Thank you!
Boy you have come on a ling way since this video
Dan, you put out well made videos and information. Thx, i hope your channel catches on but i always try n check them out regardless if im interested in the topic or not.
Great vid!! Love the channel
not me watching this video to figure out how to wrap myself into the 220x240cm fleece blanket i just bought for in bed
Great tip, thank you.
What size is the blanket you are using in the demonstration?
I think my wool blanket is too small to use in that fashion.
Grown men as burritos. My Monday night is complete.
human burrito for bears
I'm going to try this out tonight on top of my bed for funsies :)
Ah...the bear burrito !
Thanks, I never thought of this
this is correct
Hey Dan, love your videos. What kind of wool blanket would you recommend??
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Hey Dan, why did you not bring this blanket on the survival show “alone”? I notice that alot of the contestants use wool blanket in videos, but didnt bring them on the show. Why is that? Atb -
You're a big guy. What are the dimensions of the blanket so you can fit in the burrito?
I was Freezing 🥶 cold one time LOL
where can I buy a blanket like thise? I'm looking for a thick blanket to sleep outdoor in winter with only one blanquet
👍
newborn wrap
Dan... I found your channel last night and I'm subbed! I like your presentation.. keep the videos coming.

How do you use those 2 twin size blankets to wrap yourself for the night, pls?
@@michalurbanful
The simplest way for the night is to use the burrito method with one blanket for the lower half (chest to feet) then take the 2nd blanket, turn it sideways, drape it over your shoulders leaving room for an optional hood and your set. Tighten or loosen the wrap as needed for both upper and lower!
@@shadowcastre Thank you for the tip!
Where do you get this
And until the next video Stay in the Woods
Where do you get such large wool blankets at?
Where can I get the blanket specs?
for a big dude you are this blanket must be huge
looks like this method wraps your legs up pretty snug which decreases dead air space and can be pretty uncomfortable, unless you like to sleep like a vampire in a coffin .
good deal
nwwoodsman Originally came up with this method: "Wrapping In A Wool Blanket" is the name of it.
I would think that someone back in 1700's came
Up with this. Just sharing some knowledge
Swaddling
damn you went from nerd to hipster

Ever swaddled a baby? This is how you swaddle a man.
What happened to the shirt/smock? Too cool for school duuude. Really! 🫵👍
