And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Might not be a bad idea to stash one of these in the truck/car/camper.
I got suckered into one of these a couple years ago. Really nice size, but about half as thick as I imagined. It's OK for cool weather, but if it's freezing, you'll need a few more layers.
The ability to purchase things online is becoming increasingly impossible. On Amazon the pictures of the item are wanting, extreme lack of information on the products, and the reviews are all over the map and mostly useless. Time to go back to the bricks and mortars.
Joanne's Fabric now has woobie material (OD on one side, woodland camo on the other, polyfill in between) for sale by the yard. Can never find M-65 field pants liners in my size, but I can damn sure sew my own. And I can make a human-sized woobie sleeping bag to go in the car. Maybe even do bag inside a bag system, and drop it in with a gore-tex bivvy bag outer.
But there's nothing wrong with these woolies. In the bag, they also make a great pillow.
Love wool blankets, they can keep warm if they are wet.
ReplyDeleteI like a wool blanket.

ReplyDeleteI have a GI issue wool blanket in my vehicle. It is a must here in North ID.

ReplyDeleteGo with a military Woobie blanket, a poncho liner.
ReplyDeleteI’ve slept with one damn near every night since the early ‘90s. Best piece of kit the Army ever issued.
