Premium Wool Blanket: Hudson's Bay Point Blanket

[@Paul-hg3hm]

I am a gold miner in MT and an outfitter. In the off season, I work from coast to coast. I sell wool blankets and I classify them into good, better and best depending on size, weight and wool content. By far, their is no other blanket out there that beats a Hudson Bay Blanket. They are very expensive but are a lifetime investment. In early May or late September and I am up in the mountains, I can get hit with a late or early blizzard. That's when my wool blankets suddenly become priceless.

[@FrankChristopherOutdoors]

Thanks for commenting Paul. Your experience and input on this means so much because of how you use it. I absolutely love my Hudson Bay wool blanket and also feel it’s a blanket I’ll have the rest of my life.

[@patriotrob7066]

I'll put a swiss link wool blanket against those any day and much much cheaper

[@Paul-hg3hm]

@@patriotrob7066 I'm glad you like the Swiss Link blankets Rob. I sell Swiss Link and they are good quality wool blankets and much more affordable. But having said that, they are not anywhere near Hudson Bay quality but most people in todays world are not going to pay the Hudson Bay price. I would be proud to sell Hudson Bay but my customers just won't buy them.

Hello. Where should I purchase one? Thank you.

[@blainehillis1921]

Bro can I buy a blanket off you? -signed, A Navajo 🐑 hurting for a good robe that is tired of Pendleton. I’ll be waiting for your reply and we can possibly go from there 💯

I have a Hudson Bay blanket bought by my parents in Canada more than 50 years ago. It’s a four stripe. Had no idea how valuable it is.

[@FrankChristopherOutdoors]

Yes they are worth quite a bit. They have a rich heritage and are great wool blankets. Thanks for watching

[@billcereske7211]

My blanket was given to me 50+ years ago by my parents for a Canadian schoolboy experience. It still keeps my bed warm all these years later. I just bought a bigger one and it is well worth the cost.

[@larryblack5963]

My grandma was getting rid of a few of her friends things, and I found one of these. They are awesome!

[@marycahill546]

Can't believe you got it at a thrift shop. These are the best of the best. Wash by hand in cool water with small amount baby soap. Squeeze but do not ring out. Lay on absorbent towel 24 hours to dry. Will last a lifetime with proper care.

[@FrankChristopherOutdoors]

It was the deal of a lifetime. Thanks for the tips and thanks for watching my video Mary

[@bryanflynn506]

@@FrankChristopherOutdoors how much was it? I'm thinking of picking one up tomorrow

[@patriciachianelli7507]

I love the absolutely love this wool blanket.

[@timothywatt]

Great video! I'm Canadian. I bought that blanket directly from the Hudsons Bay department store here in Toronto, Canada for full price ($500 Cdn, very expensive!) because I love it. It's a highly coveted blanket here in Canada.

[@FrankChristopherOutdoors]

Thanks so much for watching. They are great blankets indeed! It's my favorite blanket I own, that's for sure. But they are very expensive

[@truckcampertraveler7369]

THATS A NICE ONE ! I JUST PICKED UP A PENDELTION AND LOVE IT FOR MY CAMPER MIGHT GET ONE OF THESE FOR THE HOUSE ! TAKE CARE ....

[@nishadnaik1462]

Mines starting to wear out from 20 years of daily use..nice to see they still make them..easy choice as it’s def. money well worth

[@FrankChristopherOutdoors]

No doubt ! Thanks for watching and commenting

[@khanscombe619]

Wool is amazing. I have that same but by the Early's Witney . I find them comfy as well & use mine atop my bed & sleep on top of another lined with linen sheets well.

[@FrankChristopherOutdoors]

you're right, they're great. thanks for watching!

[@1SeanBond]

A excellent veiw and this Blanket is the best bud! Nice content I love these blankets I have 5 Bay blankets all wool different types and colors! You are correct wool is the best!

[@FrankChristopherOutdoors]

It’s very nice to meet someone who is as excited about these blankets as I am. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. I think I’m gonna do more videos about this blanket in the future

Thanks

[@Dextamartijn]

I really love wool blankets when camping

[@FrankChristopherOutdoors]

I do too but mine is heavy, it’s like 5 lbs

[@scottf.3808]

Nice wool blanker as they are the best to have....Good stuff....

[@FrankChristopherOutdoors]

Yeah they definitely come in handy !

[@realmetis8002]

just got one today for 15 dollars at a second hand store here in ontario canada its gold

[@FrankChristopherOutdoors]

Nice find !!

[@acharyajamesoermannspeaker6563]

Thank you for the review. You don't need a blanket on a sunny day with the birds chirping though. I find many other manufacturers have made blankets just as nice, and in fact had a custom made one in a particular tartan. I find the HB boring as a pattern.

[@seller559]

NOT a cheap blanket but worth every penny.

[@FrankChristopherOutdoors]

Yes it definitely is

[@billcereske7211]

You have to buy it in Canada, and bring Canadian money. At the cost, the currency conversion will kill the deal. $350CDN at the Vancouver, BC store 10-22. (6 stripes). Paid Canadian and had to take it off the antlers of the display moose! It's part of the adventure.😀

[@eliwannamak3r981]

I love this blankets I have 2 6 points

[@melindaforster1240]

Just found 4 point for $20 should I dryclean? a bit worried about my own cleaning skills

[@FrankChristopherOutdoors]

I would - research it first and make sure it won't damage the blanket

[@bradybuck177]

Dry clean only.

[@charlesdleer]

That's a nice blanket Frank!

[@FrankChristopherOutdoors]

Yeah Charlie it is awesome

[@karensanchez9061]

Another nice thing about this wool blanket is you only need one blanket to keep warm and cozy instead of a pile of synthetic ones !!!

[@FrankChristopherOutdoors]

Definitely ! Thanks so much for watching

[@danielm7585]

I bought an old one at a garage sale for $5 and ended up getting $1500 for it on Ebay later. It was from the war of 1812.

[@FrankChristopherOutdoors]

Wow that's crazy Daniel. Thanks for watching

[@Woody10719]

How did you know it was from the war?

[@Prodigalson0078]

@@Woody10719 good question! I can only speculate that it must have had some distinguishing, manufacturing, characteristics that associated it with either the time period or the actual War.

The stripes are green, red, yellow, and indigo (not black). Indigo is a very dark blue.

[@FrankChristopherOutdoors]

thanks!

NorthWest Traders makes a great 100% WOOL POINT blankets just like these hudsons bay blankets for half the price. nothwest traders specialize in WOOL CAPOTEs for reenactors.

[@Prodigalson0078]

Hey man! Good to know! Thanks!

[@jeromebullard6123]

How much does it weigh?

[@FrankChristopherOutdoors]

don't know for sure going to guess 3-6 lbs

[@franklinarchambault-ik5xg]

Had one and it was the best blanket ever but it was stolen and now for the same one it will cost me a minimum of 550 and I only paid 350 for the first one

[@acharyajamesoermannspeaker6563]

Blanket stealing, that is a new low.

[@Sourpusscandy]

Make sure there’s no small pox on it!

[@Roof_Pizza]

Chances of a customer snagging one in a thrift store in Canada is zilch. If the shop does get one surely an employee will jump on it.

[@FrankChristopherOutdoors]

I bet- chances are really slim in some parts of the US as well. I just got really lucky. Thanks for watching
