The rock and clove hitch fastener is a very good idea. Thanks for posting. --- Funny how searching for ways to sleep warm in a wool blanket will have YT pop me up a 10 year old video that answers questions. Thank you.
I've got my italian wool blanket in my bathtub soaking in an entire bottle of strawberry smelling suave conditioner and sensitive skin shaving cream right now. I'm going to use if for minimalist camping next to a big fire. I hope the mothball smell goes away and the moistierisers soften up the hair.
Great video! A question.. I just got my first wool blanket the other day. If you have ever slept in a sleeping bag, can you take a guess at what temperature this wool blanket will keep you warm down to? Sleeping bags are good down to... 65 degrees, or 15 degrees. If you would have to take a guess, what would the wool blanket be rated at?
Just like sleeping bags, it depends on that particular model. It is not a super hero - do anything. You may need several at 40 degrees, it all depends on the variables he talks about here
Yep, seems that the military did a study in the '50's in the arctic where they put thermal clothing on subjects except for their head. Some PR firm did a campaign for a hat company and twisted the results saying that 40-50% of heat was lost thru the head. Then the US army put it in their manual and it became the truth. Damned funny the lies we believe.
That whole concept is based on your head [including face] and neck being exposed. Bare skin will always loose most of your heat regardless what body parts are exposed.
actually ... heat is no more attracted to cold than cold is attracted to heat ... they are both attracted to each other ... it is called reaching an equilibrium. all air does it. that is what creates wind.
Just get a goose down sleeping bag and be done with it. Most wool blankets (1) will keep you warm to about 50 deg. Anything at a lower temp you need more. The big problem though is when down gets wet, your screwed.
100% sheep wool is unbeatable. If it gets wet, it heats up on its own keeping you warm even when wet. This is a chemical reaction of the sheep fat within the wool which stays forever even if you wash it frequently. I myself use the danish army wool blanket, which is the biggest and heaviest 100% wool blanket i found. And it was a real bargain for about 20 €.
I am having a hard time finding a wool blanket to purchase for my kit. maybe I am just looking in the wrong places but finding one that is 100% wool is proving difficult. Can anyone tell me where I can get one?
I may end up doing that, finding one online. I just hate to buy things sight unseen. Heard of too many people getting ripped off with products or they are not what you expect when you get them. Thank you for replying.
I bought the larger WW2 Army Medical Blanket "reproduction" from Sportsmans Guide and it's pretty good for the money. I used to have the real WW2 Medical blanket. The repro isn't as thick or 100% wool but for the price I'm happy with it and keep it on my bed and take on overnights. Hopefully it won't get lost like the original.
Heat loss from the head is the same as any uncovered part of the body of the same size, about 10%. If laying down after walking the thighs lose a lot of heat, being the largest muscles. Wool relies on air for insulation, the more water in the wool, the less air and the less insulation. A completely wet wool blanket is no more insulating than no blanket at all, and if air is moving over it, evaporation will have a significant cooling effect on the body. All insulation needs to be kept dry, and if wet needs to dry fast, either from body heat or external heat source, before the cooling effect reduces core temperature to dangerous levels.

That's a sweet cabin.
Lots of great advice. Thanks for sharing. I do concur that sticking a piece of stick through a blanket could be a mistake.
Big green riding hood. Lol
Thanks for the video!
Great video, beautiful cabin. Thanks brother!
That was a really good video. I think I'm going to try this for hunting this year.
Enjoyed your video. Keep up the good work. God Bless
Great video, very interesting and informative. Thanks for making and sharing it.
Very informative and helpful video. I learned a lot. Thx!
Awesome, this video helped a lot. I'm taking a camping trip at the end of October and we have decided to use wool blankets instead of sleeping bags.
How did the wool blankets workout? Im thinking of buying a 100% wool blanket
@@Daniel.lopez. did you? was it worth it?

did that work?
Woolite wash
Knowing the blanket sizes are so helpful as a frame of reference. What sizes are these that are used in the demonstrations?
I love the stone idea.
if you are staying someplace for a couple of days then baking the damp out of the ground is well worth it.
Very nice information 👌
Awesome. Thank you!
Fluffy....aka LOFT. :) Felted wool...Boiled wool....Worster wool....knitted wool. Well done video. Wool wins.
Lol ya look like. The monk from robin hood love it
You should get together with the makers of SNUGGIE cuz you know how to sell ridiculous looking and cozy blankets!
Thank you!
Excellent!!!! So what size do you recomend to get??
Really a nice video.
Coolest cabin 👍👍
Love the video. Great idea about the rock and cord to hold the blanket and not poke holes in to it.
Awesome vid! Who knew there was so much to something so simple?
Excellent job
good stuff right here ....one of the more informative videos ive seen. i use one in doubled up in between my ridgerest and my bag.
about 7% from the head and neck
it's critical to protect the hands, feet, and private parts because of constriction causing loss of circulation.

Good video a lot of great information thanks for sharing always learning
Thanks for the video, but lately they dispute that we lose that much out of our head and neck. I love wool.
Yup, current research is saying that head/face/scalp skin loses the same amount of heat per sq inch as any other patch of skin. But cool video thanks!

In Scotland the highlandrers used to wrap up in their kits and plaids with heather as a bed when hiding from the English
Is there a spec that tells you how tightly woven a wool blanket is?
Greta video! I mad a Pendleton review for a blanket I bought too, in case you or anyone watching is interested
actually ... heat is no more attracted to cold than cold is attracted to heat ... they are both attracted to each other ... it is called reaching an equilibrium.
all air does it. that is what creates wind.
Thank you very much
Fascinating
Excellent.
that looks like the cloak mister frodo and sam wore
It looks like you're mummifying her and the dogs like "I'm Anubis".
Aren’t army blankets blended with polyester? I’m sure that would reduce their insulating properties to some degree.
could you do a video on blanket storage and maintenance please
matt dodds blanket storage...ur a pathetic sad excuse for a FUCKING human being...bitch
how do I make a wool blanket poncho???
stéphanie tauzia 💙
I have a Russian wool bag that I made. It’s warm enough to keep me warm in 20F overnight temperatures.
I wish you'd used written notes under the video listing the proper names of the blankets you talk about. Anyway: thumbs up!
thanks for the video. It is very instructive. One question, what do you think about the Swiss wool blanket over the Swedish one? thanks
Yes. However many you think you can carry, you should use.
💐 good very good 💐

Milesoutdoors Bushcraftbro Thank you for the link
Harbor freight has some great blankets, designed as moving blankets for under $10
Tyrone Shoelace That sounds like something to look into. I know good quality wool isn't cheap. That would be a great bargain.

Not idly do the leaves of Lorien fall.
Why do a lot of military guys name their daughters emmerson?
I think the warrior poet named his daughter emmerson too
it's a snuggie

Wool Wicks water away from Heat it is not difficult to dry it works very well it'll retained 80% of your body heat soaking learn your facts

Redo video, list where the best value can be purchased.
