Just some insight into the blanket tricks that monks have used for centuries to thermoregulate. Great for Bushcrafters! Hope you all enjoy! God bless, Get Outdoors and Get Blessed!
Let's MAKE them popular. I wear mine out occasionally when it's cold.. I could care less if I get strange looks. I can't imagine I look any LESS ridiculous than half of these dudes with man buns and skinny jeans..
I made my own "cardigan" with a big hood on it. I get strange looks, but I honestly don't care. Denmark is a small country, but people here will stare at anything that's out of the ordinary. I wear medival style pants too that are loose in the top half, but tied or tight near the feet. Looks like a pair of Shaolin monk pants, I just love the added freedom of movement. And the addition of my hood just makes me stand out so much more, which isn't the point, but I just wear what I want. I mainly make a living from home, which means I don't have to dress a certain way for my boss. Halloween was fun since no one seemed to care, except people would take pictures of me openly because they thought it was some kind of costume 😂 Be brave and bold. Life is not about making random strangers content. I've heard all the jokes, it only gets funnier when you confront people who make random remarks (not confronting them aggressively, of course. But playing along, people usually just think they're funny)
Just discovered this wonderful channel now, only to find it appears to be short lived. Hopefully the creator of this fantastic content is still doing well.
Beautiful! I’m Choctaw and most indigenous Americans wear blankets whether Pendleton or Whitney Point. I love them so much I don’t wear coats anymore unless I’m kayaking. Truly the wool is the best technology
Just used your trick sitting outside at 20º (in a chair). Put the hood so there was only a little crack for fresh air, so the damp cold air was warm by the time I breathed it. Didn't want to go out in the damp today, so thanks for keeping me outside. Later it will be raining.
This is a really good video. I find it really interesting to see the answers other cultures have arrived at for the same problems. This looks like a really good system!

Nice technique. I watched a few other wool blanket systems, and they all were poking holes in their blankets, to keep it shut. I knew there was a better way. Thanks!
Really great video...good for summer or fall here in Canada....don't know how efficient it would be in winter, depends on what you're doing I guess. I have been thinking about wool blankets alot lately. Must be something God's put on ourind.
Oh, thank you for that. That was a very interesting/different take on the wool blanket as a robe. It looks effective especially when locked in place with the bag shoulder strap. I will try it.
2023 Happy New Year 🥳Thank You So Much for Sharing This With Us 😊 Your Wool Blanket Technique is Perfect for Staying Warm While Maintaining Full Freedom of Movement to React Quickly to any Situation That May Arise Such as Animals entering Our Campsite When Sleeping 😊 The Thought Of being wrapped up like a Burrito to keep warm in a situation like that is/was Worrisome but not as much now because you Cared Enough to share your knowledge and helpful insight 😁 I hope All Is Well And May God Bless You Too My Friend 😇
Thank you. I just got a few wool blankets so I can go out into the bush and meditate, wool would be so much better than my sleeping bag. less room, less wieght, good insulation and dryness factor. Also, good for a pack system for the second blanket, wrap belongings fold and sling over shoulder. Thanks for sharing, was helpful, have been playing with my blanket today to feel how comfortable it will be.Especially to block mosquitoes..
This is the man I would want to be with when SHTF! Aside from knowing all the survival skills he seems like a nice guy! I found out about him from the HULU documentary on him and his followers..
thank you for this.. i was about to turn my wool blanket into an anorak.. i much prefer using these methods and saving the blanket for multipurpose.. thanks again
Many great tip and advise here. I`ve just bought my first " outdoors wool blanket ", so for me, it was many helpful advice. - Thanks for showing and sharing.
This was very informative! Thank you for sharing your knowledge, brother! Where did you get your watch coat and wool throws? I have a traditional military wool blanket, but would like to integrate your system into my kit. This looks very versatile.
This Is Awesome stuff Brother. It is great to see things from other cultures and how they use similar tools in different ways. Thanks so much for the share...

Awesome and unique demonstration! This would be a great way for me to wear my "throw" during the cooler seasons here in Rhode Island, US. I can quickly grab some firewood outside! Praise God that you have heard His magnificent calling on your life. Blessings!
Thanks so much for posting. I've seen quite a few videos on the wool blanket and you have presented several new ideas. The idea of using a string or twine to close the hood is so simple that I'm surprised that I haven't seen it before or that I didn't think about it.
+Greg Penny thx brother! Google + has shut down my access to my own page!!! I have started another channel "Saved Monk Outdoors Channel" on youtube and will continue uploading vids there. Sorry for the inconvenience.
who here thinks cloaks should become popular again?

Zen is achieved when you become one with your blanket
Cozy anywhere

I love wool. Best for all weather conditions even when soaking wet. Thank you for the video and the traditional tutorial!
Rediscovering wool. Didn't realize it's so amazing
6 years ago and I'm just now seeing your video. I like it thank you for sharing.
Thanks! I am always looking for new ways to use wool blankets. People think I am crazy when it comes to wool.
This is a really good video. I find it really interesting to see the answers other cultures have arrived at for the same problems. This looks like a really good system!

Good ideas!
I make a poncho out of wool blanket by folding in half and cut small hole for head at centre of fold and sometimes stitch it
If you are cutting and seeing, then ruana cloak is more versatile
Nice technique. I watched a few other wool blanket systems, and they all were poking holes in their blankets, to keep it shut. I knew there was a better way. Thanks!
Check out the reallybigmonkey1 video about the subject. Apparently there are 3-4 different ways to pin a blanket without poking a hole in it.

Thanks for sharing man that was a great! i must check out more of your vids
Wow! I learned a new useful trick. Thank you my friend.
Very cool. This is very similar to the roman toga or paludamentum. You see Roman statues that have the very same wraps.
Love it, thanks!

add a penanular brooch and you've got a traditional Celtic Highland style!
Hudson andHudson it seemed like a kilt didn't it ?
Penacular broach
This is a really good idea. wearing your blanket like a cloak or poncho does not help much in the wind. im going to try this next time its stormy.
Veru insightful video, thanks for sharing tips and tricks
Cool video I'm definitely going to try some of these teniques
Good video. Thank you for the information.
