Big Swede - your link was to a video on how to use the blanket - mine was to a video on how to make a blanket pin. I think we are agreeing that the wilderness outfitters videos have some good stuff in them

I to will come out of the closet - "I am a LARP'a" 
But back to the thread I had a scout blanket, had a curve on one edge so it sat nicely around the shoulders, The blanket folded in a triangle also works well.

The cloak I use for living history is a square like a blanket.
By folding it correctly and fitting a single pin or brooch it can be worn with or without a hood.
I've looked at a lot of contemporary drawings and as far as I can tell the Vikings and Saxons at least did not cut the cloak but used it straight from the loom width.

One of the things on my list is a bushcraft version of a jedi cloak
I know what I want, just need to finish off the trousers, coat, leather work, moccs, knife and 101 other things before I start on that.
And those are only the bushcraft projects I have on the go atm - SWMBO has lots of other plans too!

When I manage to get a camera working I'll see what I can doCloak threads come up every now and again, no one ever puts up any good pictures or plans though
That's ok looking - back at my original post I see it wasn't very clear anyway - I suggested a disposable bbq because to make the pin you need some kind of furnace - if I had made that clear it would have been obvious I was referringf to a different video
What you need is a good wool Capote

If you do a Google search you'll find instructions on how to make a lightsabre as well, just to finish it all off (and an important step in becoming a Jedi).
Take one wool blanket, fold it in half widthways, drape it over your head and secure it by tying a scarf around your neck. The result? A hooded cape that covers the head and shoulders and is very warm. Perfect for cold nights in the woods. You can also adjust its length by altering the fold. Fold, say a third instead of in half and it becomes a cloak.
