WOOL vs. WOOBIE vs. FALSA 

Came here for the info, stayed for the mullet

Instead of slitting your blankets for ponchos, look up how to make a blanket into a wool hooded cloak without damaging the blanket. Often fastened with large pins (safety or medieval/viking brooch pins) at the shoulder, you can use a small smooth rock to put behind the wrap layers to create a bump that short paracord is wrapped behind, the cord won't slip off because of the bulb created by the rock.

EKTOS makes quality 100% wool blankets. I bought 2 "twin sized" blanets for $50 each. I genuinely love them and they went straight on my bed. They are a little thin, but they are woven tightly, so they take a bit to break in and floof up. Once they break in, they are nice and toasty. I plan to get more for my vehicle and emergency bags. (Im not sponsored, i just really like their blankets.)

“I always think I’m tougher than i am.” Freaking same. Got a sub brother!

I keep a harbor freight wool moving blanket which I think is about 70% wool and an camo quilted moving blanket plus a camo tarp in my SUV for both emergency and moving items. Plus have a throw blanket in there. I need to put my ghb with cordage and other essentials in my SUV too. I've had one of those Mexican blankets for years in my yoga gear. They are nice blankets.

I thought I was ginger! Man, you are ginger AF! Skin cancer is real my ginger brother, stay safe!

That's an epic ginger beard you've got there. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess you've either got Irish, Scottish, or Scots-Irish (aka Ulster Scots) ancestry. Those three blankets can make for a great modular sleep system when combined, letting to modulate what temperatures you can survive down to.

I sleep with a wooby under a wool blanket on my bed in the winter. Wooby makes a great sheet.

Informative and beneficial video

HillBilly Guy you ROCK. YOU TAUGHT ME SOMETHING GREAT!!! You should do a separate video on using those sleeves. 💪

I was confused. You showed 3 options, but the option that fit in the shirt sleeve didn't look like either 3. I have found some inexpensive wool blankets. A standard double bed blanket folded double long ways works for me. I use a cot and sleeping bag, and the blanket is a great warmth enhancer. I had an idea. I have a queen size virgin wool blanket. I want to make a cotton cover, sew it in, the queen size doubled up. I think it'll be great. If I were to get wet, I'd cut it out of the cotton. There is a warm blanket type, made from plastic bottles. Fleece? I tried it at a friend's house, pretty good.

That's the most Epic mullet i've seen since the 80's ,,i had a muller myself back then.

Good comparison of stay warm options and uses. 100 percent wool is my favorite but a 70 percent makes a good backup / addon for colder conditions. Both are heavy but sleep warm. Never owned a woobie but if I find one will buy . You know a good source ? Thanks for the review.

Some good info. Thanks. Take care.

Like you, I have one of each. Dad & Mom brought me the falsa from Mexico, wool blanket from Woolrich, and the liner from a surplus store. Love 'em all.

Great video. Thanks!

Great tips. Thanks bro.

I have all three of these and have used them all together and separately the woobie is the best to have any time

From one large red bearded man to another, awesome video man!

Military is 100 percent wool always

I’d say you are rotund.

There is NOTHING more over-rated or over-hyped than the “woobie”, a word I never heard until RU-vid a few years ago. Yeah, I’m an old fart. We called it a poncho liner. It is a very thin and not dense piece of polyester batting insulation. ANY fleece blanket will provide more insulation. Having said that, yes I still have mine and it still has a place.

which back pack?

That's awesome brother. I like the improvised compression bag that's great. Much love from Bama

Thank you for sharing

Arcturus makes great wool blankets. their queen size 100% virgin wool blanket is just 100. cheap compared to Penelton, etc I have 3 of their blankets

Hey Big Red, looking forward to next vdo.

Howdy from Corpus Christi Texas. Outstanding video 👍 👍

Real man don't need blankets. Just kidding. I had a Mexican Flasa when I moved to AZ on my 8th birthday, 30 years ago. Finally took my 2 year old camping. I passed it to her. We both will have memories

Yep, I can't argue with these three choices. I'd choose the same and actually have. I have all three and use all three extensively. One of my wool blanhets I use outdoors is actually a Uhaul moving blanket. It's thick, fluffy, and very warm. The best part is that they're cheap as heck.

Are those your cows in the back?

Aye man, be good to yourself, you ain't fat you is big boy 😄

On the off topic why is wool and leather even expensive ? Wool grows back and leather is harvested every time a cow is killed which happens all the time since meat is supplied to the consumers every single day.

Nice round house bibs.

I’ll take the wool blanket

love the "billybilly" stuff sack for woobie! (and your sharing it and all the.) why a woobie doesn't come with a slit to put one's head thru for serving as a poncho is weird.

Thanks 👍

Nice

Cheers from a Canadian hillbilly

Stop calling it a woobie. Never heard that in 6 years in USMC infantry, called a Poncho liner or just liner.

It's a poncho liner only a millenial who watched Mr. Mom one too many times would be caught dead calling it a Woobie.

Why in the heck are you people calling a Poncho Liner a Woobie? It has never been called a woobie until those of you who couldn't spit shine boots and had to get berets just to perk up your morale instead of earing berets. It is a damn Poncho Liner, get it through your damn skulls.

Dude you got the best mullet I've ever seen nice
