Find a small smooth-ish stone, gather the edges of the blanket under your chin as you did for a hood. Put the edges of the blanket together, now place the stone about 2 inches away from the edge and wrap the blanket around the stone and then wrap a thong, or string around the blanket behind the stone and tie it off like a head and neck in a fashion so you can easily untie it when you want to. It would look like a fabric covered knobby button off to the side. If you want a smoother look, hold the edges of the blanket in front and over lap them by a few inches. Put the stone behind the blanket by your throat or near the top of your breast bone and push the stone forward away from you and smooth the blanket over the stone and wrap the string around the stone like a head and a neck. Tie off in a fashion so you can undo the string easily when you want to. Now it looks like a button in the front rather than off to the side. You can use a marble too if you have one. Now you wont need to poke holes in your expensive wool blankets at all.
Thank you for the demonstration. I have watched Grimbo's video also. I can see advantages to both approaches. With Grimbo, you could make two ponchos from one blanket. Your method keeps the blanket dual purpose, which would minimize the equipment necessary. Your hood is a good idea because the blood flow through the brain is 5 times what flows through the rest of the body. The head should always be covered when it is cold.
I do not have any traditional cloak pins but it is something I intend to get when I find some for sale. I have since made the stick pins from antler and braid.
@SickestDentalPlan I have used a hammock down to -6c. I always keep my hammock low to the ground and peg my tarp to the ground on the windward side. This reduces the amount of airflow under my hammock. I good sleep mat is important. Many people talk about the under blankets but I have never used one or found that I have needed one. I to find my self warmer on the ground with proper insulation.
Don't forget, not only is wool flame resistant when sitting round the camp fire, dressing this way is also very useful for reciting monty python until it's time for bed. Funniest video I've seen in weeks. Call me optimistic, but I reckon if you give someone a wool blanket and put them somewhere cold, they'll figure out how to wear it. Or if they don't it's called natural selection.
Great Idea. Ive seen that idea for tying plastic and tarp but would not have thought about that for the wool blanket. I'll try that next time I'm out. Thanks Sean
What an excellent thing to do with a blanket! I'm going to get one out of the closet and start using it! Wonderful idea. Thanks a million. I wish I'd known all this when my boys were in scouting and cut holes in the center of the blankets like everyone else did!
@ianbillen Utilizing the blanket to keep you covered, as this video shows, is considerably better than simply wearing it as a cape or wrapping it around you. All these little things add up to give you a working angle against mother nature and to greatly increase your chance of survival, or extending your survivability time frame. .Sure it's just a simple blanket... but every object you use should be utilized to the fullest in a survival situation. This is why the video is helpfully informative.
@maximus97100 This blanket is the Dutch soft one. I have not seen the Dutch 100% one, but if they are like the Italian wool one then they will be much better at keeping the wind out.
@squathacker This is a Dutch army blanket. Its a wool mix. Its not 100% wool. I have slept in just below freezing in mine with a decent fire and with my clothes on. The British blanket in thinner and is quite itchy where as the dutch is soft to the touch.
Very cool, thanks sean. I bought a blanket/cloak pin off of evilbay, it works a treat and you aren't damaging the blanket with larger sticks, the pin just pushed the weave apart, it was only a couple of quid, just search for: "cloak pin larp" and your set to go :)
Thanks so much for posting, very good video. My question: If you are going to poke a hole in your blanket, why not use a cloak pin? I can somewhat understand the wood if it is Field Expedient ( and here I would prefer, if possible, two small rocks or stones captured with string and bound with cord) but I surely don't want to damage the blanket if at all possible. Thank you so very much for taking the time to post. And may I ask, what were the shots in the background? I thought this was the UK, and the good people of said land had been rendered into WATERSHIP DOWN farmer's rabbits.
I don't know if you have seen this video already or not but you should check it out. Wall2rockclimbers video does the same style of wearing the blanket as you do although he keeps from poking the stick through the blanket keeping it solid. He uses stones/marbles as tying points. Good for not making holes in your blanket!
In my opinion it would make an excellent camo suit. Especially if you put it on and then roll on the floor. The wool will pick up lots of loose material from the floor. These blankets are so cheap to buy you could afford to cut one to the size you require. Better still make one into a smock coat.
That is so cool! I had no idea you could wear a wool blanket in all those ways and puncture a stick through it without harming it! I've got to get me one! Thank you! Fyi, David Canterbury sells a nice blanket pin on his pathfinder website. It's easier to use than your stick method and looks very cool and has multiple uses as well. You should check it out.
This is definatley the best bushcraft/outdoor channel on youtube. The information is specially useful as it applies to the British outdoorsman, unlike most American ones where its all about guns and alcohol!
hey, isn't it nice that you take the time to try and teach us all about things we may need to know one day, between this and your gadget show that you do you really help people with information, cheers john see ya
Nonono you don't need to poke a hole through it either, just grab the ends once it's over your head, cross them in hand and bring them behind your neck and tie them off! It's like tying off a keffiyeh, even less effort and supplies needed and it's faster to do, you can't always find a branch but don't ever forget to bring a towel ;D Your second part tying it off around the hips is really cool tho, didn't know about that one.
Nice idea I remember when I was a child when it had gotten cold in the winter Mom would fix our blankets around us. Length wise to the ground, then draped across the shoulder, with the top two feet or so folded over to form the cowel, or hood. A sash was wrapped about the waist and tied. I recall this to be quite warm and having worn it to bed as is with the feet end tucked under.
If you pleat the mid section, wrap it round your waist with a belt and then over your shoulder with a pin, line, or broach, you have yourself a belted plaid (kilt).
I use a large button attached to a Hair elastic. the button is wrapped inside the layers and the elastic wraps around two or more times to secure the layers. I can carry them in pockets or use them to tie my hair back. they also loop around belt loops on my pants.
a thought Sean, if you dont want to drive big holes in your blankets/Cloak , instead of using a stick (although easy) get or make a Cloak pin, , its a 2 - 3 inch ring cut on a side, making a "C" about 1" space between ends, then a piece of round brass or steel bent/twist one side around ring, makes sliding pin. then hammer down ends of "C" so pin doesn't fall off... push pin in wool, set open side of C over pin, twist C to lock cloth on pin. ends up looking like a Q Re-enactors use them
@erikvdhil In most cases, when a similar material is used ... no. The blanket will not be warmer than a jacket with the same material that has a hood. HOWEVER, (and this is a big however) ... the blanket CAN help save your life if it is cold and hypothermia is a risk factor. It definitely will take the edge off, and it WILL keep you a few levels warmer. These few levels of warmth can mean the difference between life and death, or being productive in your survival quest. It'll make a difference.
Yeah i was thinking about it before and i though maybe do a what they do with ghillie suits that is put netting on it and weave Hesian *potato sack* stips throught it make sure the wool and hesian are karke and diffrent shades and you got yaself a ghillie cloak it would be lighter to run with and alot cooler if you have it as a cape. thanks for the tip.
One thing that I found that works well, if you want to avoid poking a hole in your blanket is to place marbles under the blanket at the two tie off points. Tie the marbles in place with heavy duty string, and use another piece of string to secure the front
@IWFJK I did the same thing. I never thought that I'd actually need instructions on how to wear a blanket but.... DAMN.... lol, I did learn a lot from this. Cheers. =D
This is the sort of stuff that one day ...just one day might save yer butt.....enjoy all the vids. nice one!..... and great Jedi Night impression.....lol
I am currently collecting items to make a couple of different designs of blanket pins. I'll post once they are made. I will have a look for design ideas though. Thank you.
I agree a home made gille would be lighter and cooler to wear. Wool is warm but a wool blanket is an instant camo suit. So its up to you. Just consider time and cost.
Very cool ! Old fashion style ! I just had an idea how to bring up some length so it won't drag, if ya don't like the bundle up front when tying the corners. Reach down behind ya, grab a handful, and tuck it under a loop of cord around your waist. Or, tie a loop over top the blanket, round your waist, and pull up and 'blouse' the blanket...like tucking in a shirt tail.
Sean, I take it that the stick goes through the weave of the material and there is no small hole cut in the blanket. It may be obvious but I'd just like it confirmed. Thank you. Paul.
How big/heavy is your blanket - I ask because I also bought a blanket from Endicotts (Dutch Army) and the quality is fantastic, but it seems thicker than yours ansd much bigger - too big if anything but and I am reluctant to cut it and waste the material, so guidance on an optimum size would be really helpful
hey sean do u know your blanket is it the dutch soft army blanket or the 100% wool dutch army blanket because i live in wales and the military mart just buy liverpool sells them which one is yours ? thanks very much
If you really want to know how to wear a blanket, ask a Highlander. That's all a Great Kilt is - a big blanket. The difference is, the Great Kilt is even more versatile than a small blanket like in this video; it serves as a blanket, a clothing garment, camouflage (if earthy colors are used), a substitute for a backpack, and if becomes wet, turns into a very toasty cocoon in the coldest of weather.
Good vid bud; from blanket, to cloak to shawl to tunic. Good way to keep in your body heat, especially at the head. You seem so relaxed in front of the camera now as well. Obi-Wan Mulhall... he he Toga parties! You yuppie! Bravo
I agree but with wool it will still kepp you warm even when wet. I have been informed by a friend of mine, of a way of waterproofing wool using lanolin.
Hand wash with pure soap flakes or anything suitable for wool. Otherwise dry cleaning. You may be able to use your washing machine on a cool wool wash but I cannot guarantee it wont shrink.
cool ideas.........but ......little holes turn into big holes. Just scrunch the blankets and tie em together or use a small round stone and tie a knot round the blankets.
If you push it through you put a hole in the blanket. Use a rock, hold it on one side of the two sides of your wool blanket. Push it through and wrap the "string" around the impression of the rock and both layers of blanket and tie it off. No hole! Nice and snug.
@s9TeeN Sounds like an improvement on the wooden peg idea,but if Sean is right and it does not leave a hole,then both are equally sufficient, depends on personal preference eh :)
First, let me thank you for introducing me to the music of Eddie Vedder! Then let me thank you for all the interesting information in your videos. Please keep posting!
i have just today made a pair of copper wire brooches,thick wire, two parts to each brooch. I was think that a pin, like yours,with an attached head on cord, might do, too. Your version has the virtue of being easily made & easily replaceable.
The title song is 'Eddie Vedder' Society. As for survival spears its not really my thing. Although I could make a video and its something I am not likely to need in the UK. Please watch Wilderness Outfitters channel. He has a couple of videos on this subject. Thanks Sean,
See, That never would have dawned of me. To wear it medieval style. I was look more to the American south west and Mexico with the wool poncho. Surplus army blankets are cheap :)
I got confused half way through and ended up cutting a turtle neck from a sweater and stitching it to my blanket which then required a hole. Now I have a Turtleblanket.
Would this be a good idea as a sort of camo suit for paint ball you get a karke blanket *a lot smaller couse i will be running around* do this so i can lay in the bush pull the hood over and ambush people would it be good as camo or would it stand out *need to know by march 14* any reply would be good
@Ockall
It only separates the strands of the weave. Once the pin is removed the hole simply closes back around. Its does not cut the blanket.
Find a small smooth-ish stone, gather the edges of the blanket under your chin as you did for a hood. Put the edges of the blanket together, now place the stone about 2 inches away from the edge and wrap the blanket around the stone and then wrap a thong, or string around the blanket behind the stone and tie it off like a head and neck in a fashion so you can easily untie it when you want to.

Now you wont need to poke holes in your expensive wool blankets at all.

This guy is badass, I'd want to have him with me in a post apocalyptic scenario.

Johann W. Coltrane lol im too lazy ill just use a huge black cli0
Great ideas! Thanks!
@AlexAvet53
By using the stick of antler tine it separates the weave and does not leave a hole.
Good patent! Thanks!
Love the simplicity, thanks.

you could also use a cleat hitch to tie the cord around the stick it is very secure and easy to undo with a minimal amount of cordage
What a great video!I wonder if you can make one on wearing a beach towel?

@erikvdhil Mostly, a blanket isn't usually windproof. Wind makes alll the difference.
The song is society by Eddie Vedder. Its at the beginning of the video.
Fantastic video!
Just caught up to this one Sean, good info mate.
@IWFJK I did the same thing. I never thought that I'd actually need instructions on how to wear a blanket but.... DAMN.... lol, I did learn a lot from this. Cheers. =D
Nice video! (Yes, I know it's kinda old lol)
BTW could you fit a backpack under that blanket?
I love your English accent. Very high class.
This is the sort of stuff that one day ...just one day might save yer butt.....enjoy all the vids. nice one!.....
and great Jedi Night impression.....lol
Cloak they were worn for 100's of years I still wear one all the time there great and easy.
I am currently collecting items to make a couple of different designs of blanket pins. I'll post once they are made. I will have a look for design ideas though. Thank you.
@erikvdhil
Depends on the blanket and the jacket.
I agree a home made gille would be lighter and cooler to wear. Wool is warm but a wool blanket is an instant camo suit. So its up to you. Just consider time and cost.

Or, tie a loop over top the blanket, round your waist, and pull up and 'blouse' the blanket...like tucking in a shirt tail.
Good lesson. You can also use what is called a 'blanket pin' to do the same thing, makes less of a hole than the stick does.
Sean, I take it that the stick goes through the weave of the material and there is no small hole cut in the blanket. It may be obvious but I'd just like it confirmed. Thank you. Paul.

Interesting. Thanks for,the info.
Nice video! is a blanket like this actually warmer than a jacket ?
Well done, Sean!
At 5.47 I was expecting Sean to produce a dove from the blanket and let if fly off lol :D
I agree but with wool it will still kepp you warm even when wet. I have been informed by a friend of mine, of a way of waterproofing wool using lanolin.
This dude is Strider ! right out of Middle Earth incredible well done , this should be basic skill taught in every school
You can sleep in a wool blanket and wrap your whole body. A wool coat wont cover your feet as well. Other than that as long as its wool your sorted.
the stick will still leave big holes in your blanket..your in the UK im sure you can buy kilt pins quiet easy, use one of those insted.
Your intro is almost a min long!
Dyl Andrew and half that is just "umm umm"
Dan Means 15 seconds is the average UA-cam consumer's attention span.
Dyl Andrew well it's a old video perhaps it wasn't like that in 08
I stand corrected. You have quite the point.
Dyl Andrew but still I get what you mean..I skipped the intro :D
ur video's r exellent sean.. cheers gaz..
Hand wash with pure soap flakes or anything suitable for wool. Otherwise dry cleaning. You may be able to use your washing machine on a cool wool wash but I cannot guarantee it wont shrink.
Very nice. Thanks. God bless you :-)

Sean whatever happened to Grimbo I can't find his videos anymore? You two were the first UA-camr I started watching!
What is the best way to clean a wool blanket?
really great video...could you do one on how to put on your shoe ???
@s9TeeN Sounds like an improvement on the wooden peg idea,but if Sean is right and it does not leave a hole,then both are equally sufficient, depends on personal preference eh :)
Good stuff!
First, let me thank you for introducing me to the music of Eddie Vedder! Then let me thank you for all the interesting information in your videos. Please keep posting!
Try and find an Italian military wool blanket. I purcahsed two and they had to be washed in woolite a few times; howerv, they're the best.
i have just today made a pair of copper wire brooches,thick wire, two parts to each brooch. I was think that a pin, like yours,with an attached head on cord, might do, too. Your version has the virtue of being easily made & easily replaceable.
Love your video
Eddie vedder ..love the song
you should have given a link for daves videos, its almost the same, plus he uses the blanket pin, others may find useful
The title song is 'Eddie Vedder' Society. As for survival spears its not really my thing. Although I could make a video and its something I am not likely to need in the UK. Please watch Wilderness Outfitters channel. He has a couple of videos on this subject. Thanks Sean,
You better make that cloak from florescent material sounds like its the first day of buck season in usa.
See, That never would have dawned of me. To wear it medieval style. I was look more to the American south west and Mexico with the wool poncho. Surplus army blankets are cheap :)
I got confused half way through and ended up cutting a turtle neck from a sweater and stitching it to my blanket which then required a hole. Now I have a Turtleblanket.
Would this be a good idea as a sort of camo suit for paint ball you get a karke blanket *a lot smaller couse i will be running around* do this so i can lay in the bush pull the hood over and ambush people would it be good as camo or would it stand out *need to know by march 14* any reply would be good
what's the shooting sounds in the background ?
