The military blanket.
The Italian Officers blanket are regarded as the best. In this video DC shows away of utilizing the blanket into a pack. This method worked out well for me, although I did not push its load barring limits. Try it out for yourself. This blanket wrap never really seems to work out 100%, but with a bed of pine boughs I manage. |

I was digging through my duffle bag the other day for some odd reason looking for a particular piece of gear. Inside I found my poncho, poncho liner, PT pad, and waterproof bag.
If you aren't familiar with the poncho liner, aka "woobie", you don't know what you are missing! While not as warm as a wool blanket (most agree it is good down to about 60 degrees), it is much lighter (21.5 oz), and has ties that can be used to attach to a MilSpec poncho - which can be used as a waterproof blanket at that point, or as a measure of insulation if you are using your poncho as a shelter.

The PT pad (physical training) is a thin foam pad that was used for multiple purposes - most commonly as a pad to lie on the ground during physical training (during IET training) and as a thin mattress to sleep on in conjunction with a cot or a barrier while sleeping on the ground.
U.S. Army Government Issue Foam Sleeping Pad, Made in the U.S.A. Specs: 24" x 72". These are used by our troops to protect them from moisture, stones, and cold while sleeping on the ground. They are a closed cell foam mat and they protect against cold, moisture, and small objects on the ground. The mats are approximately 72” long and 24” wide. They are 3/8” thick and they weigh about 1 pound. Of course, they are green in color. These mats have two straps at the bottom to secure them in a tight roll when not in use. The roll is approximately 6” in diameter when tied. These mats are designed to withstand the very harsh and rugged abuse of battlefield conditions therefore, they should provide you with years and years of service under most any conditions you may find. |
