Some of the Major Surplus blankets have seen better days. Stay away from any with repairs and insist on sewn seams all the way around. That smelly pipe tobacco you got with the future survival tin makes a spendid mothproofer. Just put some in a muslim satchet or in a dish for closet storage. Safer by far than mothballs etc around children and pets. Invest in some large pins. You can't miss them. In the yardage shop they are called, blanket pins <img src="images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> You can never have enough blankets. I periodically give mine to the homeless. My parochial school's patron saint shared his cloak, so I'm honoring some good ethical lessons taught there. <img src="images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
