Do not watch this video. Quick summary: "I got paid $20 to tear down a carousel. Here's some rolled up blankets. Make sure you get the 100% wool ones, not synthetic. The title of my video says 'bedroll', but they're not bedrolls. They're just rolled up blankets." [bedrolls have stuff inside them] -you're welcome, for saving you 15 minutes

f*ck! just bought a wool blanket from canteenshop, and, well, its the mcnugget blanket. darn! stay away from canteenshop blankets!!!!!

U.S Military had both 100% and 70%/30% wool blankets. It is possible that both are actual service surplus. It depended where you were posted/deployed as to which one you get. Lots of copies too.

@XionXXXX I think you missed the point he was trying to make in this video. That McNugget blanket was an imitation US Military wool blanket. Not the real deal. The REAL US Military wool blankets are 100% wool and do NOT need to be dry cleaned. Any company can throw a US stamp on their blanket but if you read their product description...its usually something like "US Military "STYLE" wool blanket". Discretely insinuating that it is not in fact the real thing.

I have been trying to find a good 100% wool Military style blanket through amazon and many other sites on the web and all i keep finding are 50-70% wool / Synthetic filler blankets. Im wondering where you got your US Military 100% wool blanket from? I'm trying to do some cold weather over night trips in the woods. Ive looked at the Israeli Military wool blanket which is 100% wool, but its not as large as the US/Italian/German. Where did you get yours and how much was it?

Wow, I never knew the government offered dry clean services for free (blankets got to get cleaned somehow). Just a matter of time before they start making the blankets out of 100% Cashmere. What a joke the government wastes our tax dollars on...

Chicken mcnuggets are, in a percentage, made of "wood", so it's alright for kids to play with their food--if their mcnuggets.
But in the case of wool, it's called "felt". Boiled wool (felted) can be indestructible!
You need to test wool by taking small samples from various places and burning it, if it leaves pure ash it's, at least, not synthetic.
I wish i say this a year ago. i have the same 2 blankets and the first one i bought was the "McNugget" blanket
