Ole - ---------------------- hist_text list info: http://www.xmission.com/~drudy/mtman/maillist.html ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 15 Mar 2004 11:29:42 -0800 From: Pat Quilter Subject: RE: Fwd: MtMan-List: Bedding Gentlemen: I throw this out as ongoing discussion - obviously, the bottom line on bedrolls is whatever works for the individual. I was trained on the "three folds" method as described by Capt. L below, and I found that the "flap" on each side tended to come apart until I woke up laying on top of a jumbled mess of blankets, freezing cold. My sponsor didn't convey the trick of tying the foot, but I am tall and even with 5-point blankets, they barely cover my feet as it is, and I can't afford to lose the length. Also, my instructor came from the experience of a long cross-country ride, where he needed to be able to jump up at a moment's notice to quiet the horses etc. Aside from the need to sleep in some kind of moccasins, I found that the "sleeping bag" type bedrolls get all tangled and hard to get in and out of. So I gravitated to the "single fold" method, where my windbreaker and blankets are folded roughly in half, with the larger half on top of me (also works great for a buffalo robe if available). I wake up anyway during the night to turn over, etc, and sometimes I have to re-arrange the top blankets, but it's real easy even when sleepy, and jumping up in an emergency is quick and easy. Capt L sleeps in colder conditions so he may be used to more elaborate precautions. I know people who pin things together, have stitched canvas bags, and other expedients, but the simple method works for me. You can wear blanket leggings, extra socks etc to keep the extremities warm in cold weather, but the old journals report that men paired up when it got below freezing.
