heads up bedroll for £10

[Man of Tanith]

I've slid in a 10mm closed cell roll mat and tacked an ex army wolly blanket to the existing fleecy blanket. Trouble is it's silly weight now but will live in the back of the car anyway. Happy days

its all about how you intend to use it mate
i dont plan to hike miles with mine thats when the lightweight stuff comes to play.

 

[Realbark]

Damn! Ive just ordered one

 

[Man of Tanith]

and another joins the collective

Remember guys, when fitting it together button the sheet to the blanket first, then the blanket to the main body.
That way it keeps everything tidy and tucked in.

I quite fancy one of these, but I was wondering... how wide are they?

I find mummy bags extremely restrictive, so am after something that doesn't feel so "hemmed in". If you put a mat in the bottom (I guess that's what they're designed to do?) can you easily turn, or do you just get trapped?

 

[Robbi]

plenty wide enough to turn comfortably in.

Must resist the late night buying bug, but at that price one can't resist.

Just ordered one myself, it'd be rude not too!

Do let me know how you get on!

Just got home from a nice mornings walk and found a parcel waiting for me. Now here's a couple of questions.

Firstly washing info, can the blanket and sheet be washed in a machine or is hand washing best?

When and where's the great bed roll camp out taking place? Lol

 

[Hugo]

Machine wash is fine no problems doing mine.

 

[Diamond Dave]

I have weakened as well and placed an order for one. You lot should be double glazing salespeople.......:You_Rock_

 

[copper_head]

Ooh, im excited! Just got an email from MilitaryMart saying my delivery is scheduled between 4pm-5pm today. Is it wrong that it feels like xmas? Lol!

 

[Globetrotter.uk]

Mines got 2 buttons missing. But otherwise it's I'll wash it after sewing a couple of buttons on. can't wait to try it out.

 

[copper_head]

Mine just arrived, perfect condition to be honest looks brand new. Ordered an austrian army roll matt to go with it. Just need to cut it to the right size then hit the woods! Tbh i thought it would be heavier than it is, its more bulk than anything else. Well pleased!

Excellent spot Sam,

Will get extra points if I use this for the 15 items or less comp ?

 

[Man of Tanith]

nope but good try

 

[millie-mail]

Been holding out for months but alas I stumbled across this thread and have become another victim. I say victim but at the price it would be rude not to. No! I am a victim because of the seventy quid total I ended up with. Sigh.......I never learn.

Keep looking at these, has anyone had any experience using these out in the field yet, i e how warm were they, that's just as a thought, and how did you supplement them, I used to use sleeping bags but like the idea of having more room, and these seem to fit the bill.
