Good video Clive. My wife and I have been using a couple of these for years. Best and most used piece of equipment we have. We use ours around te house too. On cooler evenings we will watch TV with them instead of turning up the heater. When going to an outdoor event we take them along. And of coarse, they are so useful while camping. One real useful option is to slip it between our 3 season underquilts and that will extend the UQ from the 40*F (5*C) to the 32*F (0*C) range. We mostly use a Snugpak underblanket and this is a perfect fit but I have also used it with my Ridge Outdoor Gear Mojave underquilt with the same results. Not sure why I have never done a video on my channel on these but probably should have. Glad that you did though. Keep the videos coming...
Thanks Bob. You should do a video on them, & how you have used them, a lot of people would get some good ideas from it. Enjoying making the video's, so there will be many more to come. All the best Clive
G'day Clive , I looked at those awhile back ,but never hit the button at survival supplies. I did buy a bushes army style blanket locally , 55% wool and 45% polyester , which I wouldn't recommend for any thing other than the tropics . Thanks for the review and keep on enjoying yourself on those hikes .
G'day Barra. I like mine, as you can see. Not every ones cup of tea. I've been looking at getting a wool blanket, but as you say, they are heavy, and on top of that, very expensive. Thanks for watching All the best Clive
The Snugpak site doesn't seem to say anything, but would you say it was spark-proof. I'm concerned that an ember from the fire would cause problems - the worst problem would be catching fire.
G'day Tom. I have never tested it for spark resistance & never heard it mentioned. I took a look at Snugpak's website and as you said they don't say, I presume with it being polyester it would melt, just the diamond stitching stopping or slowing down it ripping too far. All the best Clive

Is the body side of this blanket soft and cozy or cold and slickery?
I find it feels soft and cozy.
