Scout,

I am no wool expert by any means. I know this tho. The surplus blankets are WARM, durable and cheap. My $8 surplus blankets are just as warm as my Canadian Hudson's Bay blanket just not a pretty. The blankets can't be a blend tho. Nearest 100% wool the better.

You are right about the sleeping bag. But the abuse my blankets take in the trunk, in the truck with the dogs will shred a sleeping bag.
