CDT oops
CTD=Cheaper than Dirt looks like I mispelled the acronym
The $9.97 price is on the page linked above.

You will need to wash before using in your home due to heavy chemical smell. I left the chemicals and put the blanket in my truck kit.

Frankie, a Hudson's Bay point blanket is the only way to go. They are undervalued and will last several lifetimes.

Pretty hard to beat 200 years of fame, service, and durability.

I buy them on eBay. The one on my bed right now is @100 years old, by the label design. Looks like new, and sleep like a baby in a 55~60 degree cabin.

I saw them at The Bay, downtown Montréal. They have them all, all sizes and colors/patterns. I like the scarlet one with a black stripe. But they are heavy. For the time being my mother gave me an old Buffalo plaid throw and an old shrinked blanket (somebody washed it in the machine) but I may go with the Hudson's Bay and I'm still planning on visiting the Ulverton woolen mill.

That's an awesome price! I've been waiting to find an affordable option on these in order to have a capote made up for next deer season.

I bought a couple of Swiss army blankets from a surplus netstore here in Finland. Cost me only 17 euros each. Very pleased with them, a bit itchy but warm and ''comfy''. 100% wool, size 210cm x 140cm.
