What a cousy blanket. Perfect for those weather consitions. Im saving up money for ordering the manic to the next season. In Germany you have to be stormproof these days. Good to see you Wade, take care. Up to 10k.👍👊
Hey buddy, yup it's a sweet blanket. Funny, when I was a baby I had a special blankie, I have another one now lol😂. How did the Rough Anorak work out this year?
Like Linus by the Peanuts😄I Love my Rough Anorak. To be honest, i wear it outside all the time. No matter if i am on a little hike, a forrestwalk, on my way to work or in town. Althougt it is much to warm outside for it this year.. just wearing t shirts underneath. No winter here, Wade 😞 Its a great garment and i am glad about your videos wich introduce such great gear and companies. Another question Wade: Is it possible to preorder a kuksa from your first wave?
As an old Scoutmaster I have carried a wool blanket for years. Here in the Pacific Northwest Pendelton Blankets are the ones I Like to get and I also Like them to make a Capote out of. Beautiful day in the woods, Thanks for taking us along.
Looks like you had a great day! Yes, if there will be a fire, wool and canvas are the materials of choice. Looks like the pack, the anorak, and the blanket are all top quality. Thanks for this video.
To start off with, you Canadians are too darn polite! I bought one of the Boreal Mountain wool blankets last year per your recommendation, and I've been very happy with it. It doesn't get as cold in Kentucky as your neck of the woods, but it can still get down to zero degrees F. I use it to help my down bag keep me warm by putting it under and then wrapping it over my bag and it makes a huge difference! Thanks for showing your videos, I really enjoy them.
Hay Hay, Wade Wonderful snowy day for a Lil trip to the woods. Made even better by setting @ your Camp on a Great Looking Wool Blanket ! Meal Sure Looked Great ! Thanks for The Coffee & Meal, Friend ! ATB T God Bless
Great video again! I too am a big fan of BMA and own several of their products. I have the 95% blanket in both the regular size and the monstrous cowboy king. Like you said, heavy, thick and super warm, not to mention versatile. Makes winter camping more enjoyable and safer too with the fire retardant properties. The service from BMA is second to none!
Woodswalker 1965 ya know for day trips I never bring a blanket or tarp. Overnight, sure. But I think I’ll try adding both to my day kit as well. Btw love the old shoes too Mr.
@@AdirondackAmerican I hear ya brother we are always trying to lighten the load. If it's blue skies and warm I probably won't bring a tarp and blanket, but if I'm not sure I will probably pack some extra insurance. Cheers
As usual Wade, thank you for providing a bit of peace before the start of another stressful week in the rat race. I very much live vicariously through your adventures that you are gracious enough to share with us all. Keep on doing what you do. It speaks so much to this Pennsylvania boy trapped in Texas. Cheers!
Exceptional video! Camera work, editing, the food! 100 percent! It’s funny you say that about the Wool blanket, I’m working on an upcoming bug out bag and I’m bringing a wool blanket. I know most folks will scoff at that for a B.O.B. but it’s worth it’s weight in gold.
Hi James, thank you very much buddy. I'm looking forward to that B.O.B. video , you always do a great job. Can't go wrong with a wool blanket, so versatile. Heavy but like you said, worth it! Cheers👊
......Great review. I had to get one of these blankets, as they are made in Canada. I just got one in Dec. of 2020 from Canadian Outdoor Equipment, such a solid store with quality staff, though my blanket didn't come with carrying straps. I've been wanting the Anorak for awhile, but i think i need to get in there to try them on when they are back in stock at the shop. I believe in the reflection of those that try to support local infrastructure and manufacturing, and am glad when the quality strengthens the resolve to do so. I think you get that with these companies.
Great video Wade, I always have my wool blanket with me. I am looking at getting one of those Anoraks, it looks warm and versatile for our Canadian winters. Cheers brother!
@@Woodswalker1965 You bet. I'm watching your video on the Firebox Stove Gen 2 right now....I'm itching to pull the trigger on one myself....lol. Enjoying your videos. Thanks again!
Awesome breakfast Wade! Love steak and eggs to start the day especially in the woods. I’ve always wanted to get a wool blanket and I think you sold me on one. Thanks brother!
Hello from Tennessee! Beautiful snow and peaceful woods you have there in the Arboreal forest. Oh I wish we could get a little of that here but it would cause mayhem!
Great to see you out Wade..... Nice conditions ;) Great looking blanket mate. It looks quality. Gotta love Steak and egg breakfast.... shame I have just had some corn flakes lol. Have a great day mate, all the best, Mark :)
Hey Wade good seeing ya im ordering blanket today like the looks and your recommendation is good I have a military wool but again like the looks,thanks again for making vid and looking for many more I will let them know where i saw the blanket,take care Wade have good day
Hi Bob thanks very much for watching my friend. I know you will love the blanket. It is a dense tight weave. My wife loves using it on the couch and I take it to the woods🌲👍😀
@@bobesselstyn461 Sure Bob you can let them know you saw the video that would be great. Andy will get back to you . It's a small business so he might be tied up a bit but he will return your call or email. Thanks again bud👍
Hello Wade, glad to see you back in the woods ! Nice wool blanket but a little heavy to bring unless its for a day trip or if you dont bring a tent. I think your snowshoes are the best in powder snow but hard on the legs for long distance. Thanks for the video 👊👍 Sylvain
Hey Sylvain, it's true you need to match the gear to the trip. In winter I usually pull a sled so a heavy blanket is not too heavy to haul. Thanks so much for watching friend!
Love that anorak from BMA. I tried one on years ago and didnt really have need for it at the time. But in the near future,.... 😉 Another great video and good advice. I like the fact the wool blanket is a tight weave. Wool is often airy and not as good against wind.
Great again Wade, some beautiful kit there, and snow, which I've almost forgotten what it's like ❄ 😢 Also steak for breakfast, that's an idea 😋 Take care buddy👍😃
Hey Wade, big fan here. I have to agree with you on Andy's products. I own the the same blanket you have here. I also own the Cowboy King and the 100% wool anorak and the Windrak as well. I would love to get the Manic and Raglan to my list as well but my wife will kill me if I get anymore gear right now lol. One day though. Anyway, thanks for ghe vid and have a great day... Cheers my friend.
Hey that's a good idea although I haven't tried it. I recently picked up the Savotta mat as well, that combo might be a winner. Thanks for watching and if you try it out before me let me know how it works out👍
@@TroyGlover Ive used the Savotta mat in the fall. I suspect in wintertime it may need a bit of help to boost the insulation value. It's a well made piece of gear, the side extensions are a nice addition. Take care and thanks for the support brother👍
If Monty Hall (remember him? lol) gave me the choice of a BMA Loden Cowboy King blanket or Rod Garcia Skookum Bush Tool, I’d take the blanket in a heartbeat! Call me crazy but I know what works
Great pieces of kit, though rather expensive. "Loden" means it's milled wool, which makes it very dense, nearly windproof and water repellent - it's quite common in the european alps for farmers, that couldn't afford fur. btw- the way you cary your axe at the outsude of your pack is not the best option; heavy parts should be packed next to your back and up high - it's less tiresome on long hikes. Stay safe !
Love the Anorak and the Blanket. It’s very hard to get 100% wool blanket in the UK, we is for me. Loved the tennis shoes, Dunlop or Slazenger? Great watch and nice Video Wayne 👍🏻
@@Woodswalker1965 I ordered the Windrak from BMA today. Its been pouring rain here in Coastal Nor-Cal lately. The Loden Green Anorak has been spectacular so I'm looking forward to the canvas for the three milder seasons. Take care Wade, hope things are going well during this shelter in place time.
@@pinkiewerewolf That's awesome, those Windraks looks amazing. Too bad about the rain but hopefully that will change soon. Stay safe in these serious times my friend.👊
Funny how all of these outdoor channels that feature lots of waxed canvas and wool never show someone preparing a vegan meal..... :-) Beautiful setting. Thanks
Thanks for watching and commenting. Actually I have several meatless and Vegan cooking videos. Here are links to a few vids where they are meatless or I used a meat substitute, I hope you enjoy them. ruclips.net/video/8IojSCJmR0E/видео.html
If you carry a tarp (Oilskin or Waxed Canvas) you really should bedroll your Blankets inside your tarp to protect it from the elements especially if it your main cover element for your sleeping kit.
Thanks for watching! I use a variety of ferro rods from Light My Fire and other brands. I also like buying ferro rod blanks from Ebay and putting antler or wooden handles on them. A very inexpensive option, they work well and look cool👍🔥
Thank you! I actually don't have any info to give. I bought these second hand and there isn't a label on them. I talk a bit about them here.ruclips.net/video/6-WG9lWmUgg/видео.html I have a new pair of GV bearpaws in the mail now , I will probably do a video on them.
ruclips.net/video/IbsJaYWIQFM/видео.html ruclips.net/video/4XAVvd7qfRY/видео.html Thanks for watching, here are links to reviews and makers of the pack and axe.
I just watched this video, which was great by the way. But I'm just wondering if you've heard of the Al's anorak from weather wool. If so, what made you decide to go with the boreal mountain brand. Thanks!
I have heard of Weatherwool and decided on BMA because I felt they were a better value for me. The first item I purchased was the Rough Anorak and I haven’t been disappointed yet. Thanks for watching 👍
Thanks for watching and for the question. I wouldn't say it is overly thin. The weave is extremely tight which is very important for warmth and wind resistance. As far a warmth goes I find it better than my other wool blankets. ✌️🌲
@ 5:45 What is this Axe ? I really like the look of it ? have you did a review on it ? ... oh PS as of 3/3/21 the Blanket was Out of Stock 8( I currently use a pathfinder blanket also nice.
Thanks for watching, I talk about this axe here in this video. Contact info for the gentleman who restores them is included as well. ruclips.net/video/4XAVvd7qfRY/видео.html
I noticed you switched to the Frost River Isle Royale pack a while ago. Do you still have the LL BEAN CONTINENTAL RUCKSACK? If so, would you be willing be sell it? I've checked the new model and its smaller. Side pockets only hold small smart water bottle size. Front pouch alot smaller as well.
Hi, I've heard that they changed the dimensions on the LLBean pack, it's unfortunate. I still have the LLBEAN pack, I don't think I'll sell it at the moment. If you email me I'll keep you in mind though. Take care and thanks for watching my friend👍

If you carry a tarp (Oilskin or Waxed Canvas) you really should bedroll your Blankets inside your tarp to protect it from the elements especially if it your main cover element for your sleeping kit.
Great suggestion!
What brand of ferro rod are you using? Very cool!
Thanks for watching! I use a variety of ferro rods from Light My Fire and other brands.
I also like buying ferro rod blanks from Ebay and putting antler or wooden handles on them. A very inexpensive option, they work well and look cool👍🔥
Very nice Man ...delicious...😋
Thank you very much for watching and taking the time to comment!
Great review what brand of tarp are you using ?
Thanks very much! I use Aquaquest tarps. I have several reviews on my channel about my tarps if you want to check them out👍
Great video......please provide info re the snow shoes?
Thank you
Thank you! I actually don't have any info to give. I bought these second hand and there isn't a label on them. I talk a bit about them here.ruclips.net/video/6-WG9lWmUgg/видео.html
I have a new pair of GV bearpaws in the mail now , I will probably do a video on them.
Thank you
Nice!
Thanks for stopping by my friend!👍
Yep, that wool blanket is as important up North as a Skeeter net is in the South.👍🔥🥩👍
Haha very well said my friend! Thanks for watching👍😀

Thanks for watching, here are links to reviews and makers of the pack and axe.
@@Woodswalker1965 Awesome. Thank you! Subbed. :)
Nice anorak. I will get one when I get the money one of these days
Worth saving up for buddy, I don't regret it for sure! Thanks for watching👍
Great video! I'm currently looking for a good wool alternative for an anorak. They are awesome, but itchy. Take care, thanks for the vid!
Thanks very much for watching. It's true some folks are more sensitive to wool than others. I hope you find something that works for you. Take care👍
Nice meal, big steak and eggs, but where are the vegetables??? :)
Cows eat vegetables don't they?😉
It was a rare treat my friend, I usually have oatmeal for breakfast lol! Take care👍
@@Woodswalker1965 lol
Question: How soft is that Pendlrton?.
The blanket is quite comfortable. Not super soft like a fleece but very good quality wool.
Good video
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment my friend👍
I just watched this video, which was great by the way. But I'm just wondering if you've heard of the Al's anorak from weather wool. If so, what made you decide to go with the boreal mountain brand. Thanks!
I have heard of Weatherwool and decided on BMA because I felt they were a better value for me. The first item I purchased was the Rough Anorak and I haven’t been disappointed yet. Thanks for watching 👍
The blanket appears to be thin, can you comment on that and if it is, how is it for keeping warm?
Thanks for watching and for the question. I wouldn't say it is overly thin. The weave is extremely tight which is very important for warmth and wind resistance. As far a warmth goes I find it better than my other wool blankets. ✌️🌲
@ 5:45 What is this Axe ? I really like the look of it ? have you did a review on it ? ... oh PS as of 3/3/21 the Blanket was Out of Stock 8( I currently use a pathfinder blanket also nice.
Thanks for watching, I talk about this axe here in this video. Contact info for the gentleman who restores them is included as well.

@@Woodswalker1965 thank you , Checking out his Instagram, some pretty axes, like a candy store they all look so nice.
Joe does fantastic work!👍
I noticed you switched to the Frost River Isle Royale pack a while ago. Do you still have the LL BEAN CONTINENTAL RUCKSACK? If so, would you be willing be sell it? I've checked the new model and its smaller. Side pockets only hold small smart water bottle size. Front pouch alot smaller as well.
Hi, I've heard that they changed the dimensions on the LLBean pack, it's unfortunate. I still have the LLBEAN pack, I don't think I'll sell it at the moment. If you email me I'll keep you in mind though. Take care and thanks for watching my friend👍
Ok. What's your email address? Thanks

excellent video friend! I admire your channel a lot ... I love what you do! I subscribe a hug from Argentina
Thank you so much I appreciate your kind words my friend. Take care!
What size tarp have you gravitated towards for these types of half day outings?
I tend to carry a 5x7 or a 10x10 max. More often a 5x7. Thanks for watching my friend.👍
