[pcnazz]

Good tip, like it !

[BonnieBlue2A]

Great idea with the pebbles so as not to make a hole in the blanket. I'd never have thought of that. Thank you.

[bushcraftbartons]

[XxServalcat24xX]

[NinjaKiller221]

I luv hoodies, blankets, and the outdoors! It's a win win situation. And thx for all your wilderness knowlage :)

[bushcraftbartons]

@NinjaKiller221 You are very welcome...

[ReeperzOutdoors]

Nice job man. Great tip!

[bushcraftbartons]

@ReeperzOutdoors Thanks...

[Jcarr62]

Great tip Thanks

[bushcraftbartons]

@Jcarr62 welcome...

[Khamomil]

The bit about enclosing pebbles in the fabric to anchor the ties on each side is pure genius. And believe me, this hooded cape looks very noble and the natural color of undyed wool makes it even better.

[bushcraftbartons]

@Khamomil Thanks...

[BivyBagDave]

We were taught K.I.S.S. (keep it simple stupid) .You can use a blanket a light tarp or in an emergency plastic. Simplest ideas are best. People think they can rely on expensive equipment,state of the art knives as the be all and end all. In an emergency it is basic Bushcraft that saves lives.Use what you have is the key.Cheers mate, you have increased the knowledge to some one who has been camping out for over forty years, you are never to old to learn or take good advice..

[bushcraftbartons]

@BivyBagDave Welcome....

[Naturliebe]

Gandalf the grey....real great magic show, Mike :o)

Greetings Tito

[bushcraftbartons]

@Naturliebe All that is missing is the grey :) thanks Tito :)

[Ggreenvideos]

You need a hobo stove to go with that look...haha! Seriously buddy, Looks good ! Nice work there :o)

[bushcraftbartons]

@Ggreenvideos hobo stove? Why didn`t I think of that :)

[goddi13]

[bushcraftbartons]

@goddi13 Thanks....

[lcj1219]

[bushcraftbartons]

@lcj1219 :)

[bushcraftbartons]

@aranelinya Cloak...Right on..thanks :)

[RDPproject]

When you were doing your fashion show, I bet Josie was soooo

trying NOT laugh out loud.

Sorry Mike...

I spent most of the video trying to get a look at your neck knife

and leather sheath....lol.

Any chance you could do a quick video and show me please? :-)

Thanks mate.

Rob

[bushcraftbartons]

@RDPproject Absolutely Rob :) She was laughing :) For the knife I show it on one of my vids called...on the hunt....thanks Rob :)

[NeeShallPass]

should have tied a flashlight to your belt, may the shwartz be with you!

[MrBudwv]

Hey Bro. Thanx for the tip. I got a few rear earth magnets tied into my blanket in place of the pebbles. Gives me a way buttoning up the front.

[MrBudwv]

@MrBudwv lol. I ment "rare" not rear.

[bushcraftbartons]

@MrBudwv Hey Brother nice to hear from you...thanks

[paw4him1]

I would call it a Wool Hoodie.  :) Sounds more masculine.

[bushcraftbartons]

@paw4him1 :)

[SurviveN2]

Mike....your going to be the next Bushcraft fashion show model.....ROFL. Thanks for sharing. Take Care my friend :-))

[bushcraftbartons]

@SurviveN2 Now that ones funny Drag...Thanks :)))

[StratoManBasejumper]

Hi Mike,

Another word for it (maybe a bit manlier), is cloak.

Take care,

Reno

[bushcraftbartons]

@StratoManBasejumper Thank you for the word :)

[leighrate]

Time to get the needle and thread out. Why not sew a couple of buttons and loops on the blanket? Make life a lot easier.

[bushcraftbartons]

@leighrate Yes that would be a good Idea but I still use it to sleep on...dont want anything poking me :)

[USMC65UH34D]

Thanks for passing the info on Mike. You know if that were a red blanket I would think you were Superman at The Fortress of Solitude. lol ;-JJD

[bushcraftbartons]

@USMC65UH34D I thought you would`ve said the Red Riding Hood :)

[bushcraftbartons]

@bwillan Thank you..

[nchiker1971]

It's a bushcraft jedi cloak!

[bushcraftbartons]

@nchiker1971 Cloak is the right word...thanks Eric..

[Woodenarrows]

Very traditional look Mike. Wool is my favorite cold weather material and yes, I wear wool shirts even down here in Florida :-)

[bushcraftbartons]

@Woodenarrows :))

[bushcraftbartons]

@ChristLikeness100 Thank you Jen :)

[mohawksniper79]

Realy good I give you a 9 1/2 out of 10 :) you probly make a gathered end hammock with your blanket to I was gonna make a vid on it but i still cant upload yet maybe you could.

[bushcraftbartons]

@mohawksniper79 Yes you certainly can make a hammock with it. Thanks

[cottonwoodscamp]

Nice job essentially its a matchcoat, used probably since we had blankets

[bushcraftbartons]

@cottonwoodscamp Thank you.

[notionofvight]

Very good idea to use pebbles - so you don't have keep the rope permanently on the blanket...

(While I watched you I couldn't avoid to think about medieval monks, roman soldiers (with their coat behind their back) and St. Martin.)

God bless you!

[bushcraftbartons]

@notionofvight Absolutely :) Thanks...

[robertmccallum1]

cool i like it 

[bushcraftbartons]

@robertmccallum1 Thank you Robert...

[mazadan]

[bushcraftbartons]

@mazadan Thanks Peter..

[Waldhandwerk]

Super demo and tips, Mike, ...very cool with the binding! Thank you so much for showing, my friend. ATB Sepp

[bushcraftbartons]

@Waldhandwerk You are welcome Sepp :)

[dragonflyhiker]

Lets call it a cape, that is manly right like Batman ;)

[bushcraftbartons]

@dragonflyhiker :)

[marcjacobi]

Always worried that I'll have a big fat butt when I put a wool blanket on! :-P

Great video, thanx. I still want to look into putting small cords or Velcro on to aid in using the wool blanket as a sleeping bag and as a cloak.

[bushcraftbartons]

@marcjacobi Good idea :)

[Andersbork]

I thought you were Frodo for a moment there:o)

I love wool too, very few things that beat it when it comes to performance and durability.

Thank you again for a great video my friend.

Rob

[bushcraftbartons]

@Andersbork :))) Thanks Rob....

[ArtisanTony]

Makes me warm just watching :)

[bushcraftbartons]

@ArtisanTony :)

[GoingSkateboarding]

perhaps a tutorial on "how to make your wool blanket into a snuggie"?

[Herofromspace]

Good idea, but it seem obsolete compare to a long coat.

[RichTheRidgeHunter]

Great vid my friend.

[bushcraftbartons]

@RichTheRidgeHunter Thank you Rich...

[snuffying]

damn this is so cool, you look like one of those vikings with that cloak on. awesome !

[bushcraftbartons]

@snuffying :)

[BushcraftingDror]

Thnaks for the video

[bushcraftbartons]

@BushcraftingDror Welcome...

[InTheSticks0001]

That's one piece of versatile gear.....Got my jungle hammock and tarps coming in the mail. Wool is good the tropics as well during the winter, but I'd go with the thin- light weight versions.

[HalfQ]

I love woolen blankets, I have a ton of them :) good vid thanks.

[lita9281]
