Which wool blanket would you choose? | Bushcraft USA Forums
2021年2月19日 · The 100 0/0 wool is the best choice despite the extra cost for the higher quality. The recycled wool/cotton blanket may be quite adequate for home use but the cotton content renders it unsuitable for bushcraft use. Queen is the right size to wrap up in. Most surplus military blankets are made only to drape over a cot or barracks bunk. Why do ...

Capote (Mountain Man style blanket coat) - Bushcraft USA Forums
2023年11月21日 · Also note that it is an Early's Witney Point Blanket rather than a Hudson Bay Company blanket. In the used market, HBC blankets go for a substantial premium, even when they are in horrible shape. This blanket was about $140. A new HBC would have been $600. An older collectable HBC could easily be more than that. View attachment 1817269
Early's Witney Point Blanket Age | Bushcraft USA Forums
Oct 31, 2023. #1. I first found this Bushcraft USA while I was looking at different point blankets. There was a thread that suggested that the "Original Witney Point Blanket" label was from the 1940's. I have since purchased a couple with this Early's Witney Point Blanket label, which I am guessing is between the 1940's and the 1960's or after.

Recreating an authentic fur trade blanket - Bushcraft USA Forums
2024年1月26日 · So, I am trying to figure out the specs for a "fur trade authentic" blanket that one of the artisans could create. It doesn't have to be an HBC replica, as long as it is documentable to the Rocky Mountains before 1840. Addressing the issues one at a time. Just my own opinion again. I like the fur trade era, too, especially the time choice, you ...

2023年10月31日 · One thing about these older blankets is no two are alike. You could go back in time to the early 1900s and shop around for Point blankets and they would all be a bit different in some subtle way. The Original label Witneys were on par with the HBC Stacked label blankets from the same era.
