Wool Blanket Demo By Antonia Young

Antonia Young demonstrates how to wear a wool blanket as a cloak, with and without a hood, also as a Roman style toga and below the waist skirt wraps. Useful for camping and outdoor survival as well as quick Halloween costumes. Enjoy!

In ten years, just this video? When do we get more? Subscribed.

[@cheryellemley-mcroy6758]

Thanks! I learned something new. I've seen a lot of wool blanket vids. But you're the first to tell us about smoking a wool blanket to protect against insect damage. Looking forward to your next video.

[@ike780]

Nice demo. The survival tips are good but the costume ideas are fun also.

[@Autumnalmonk]

This is by far the best video on wearing a wool blanket that I've seen! Thank you for sharing this. I love your style and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your videos.

[@GarySmith-up1un]

I’m surprised this is your only video. Very nice. 👍

[@gjensen500]

WoW! Thanks for Sharing. I am amazed at how versatile wearing that blanket is. And it is a great survival technique for staying warm and dry. My Dad alway brought wool blankets just like that camping. And they are not very expensive either. I will definately purchase a blanket pin. Thanks.

[@tonykaczmarek278]

Awesome video . Been using a wool blanket for years and just now I learned a few new things. Thanks

[@BarbaraPacheco-el7fq]

Thank you for sharing your style of wearing a wool blanket, I watched a video from a Saved Monk Outdoors then your video popped up on my KZbin channel, 😂 knowledge is power ! I can't wait to try it out,

[@mildridj3423]

Luv your video. Never knew a wool blanket was so useful.

[@soaniles]

I love merino-wool anything...Priceless thanx for the vid-info Peace be on you.

[@tSp289]

That design is a LOT older than cowboy-days. It's a pennanular brooch, and ones like that have been found from Viking, Roman and re-Roman Iron-Age cultures in Europe, dating back thousands of years.

[@lanceroark6386]

The Hebrew’s made wool fabrics 3,000 years before Yeshua’s birth; back when they lived in Goshen; long before the Romans existed. www.hebrewhistory.info/factpapers/fp018_carpets.htm

[@bigoldgrizzly]

I found a Roman one in a ploughed field. It was made in bronze but sadly is minus the pin. Took me a while to see how it worked. I really ought to look it out and add a brass pin so it can be used

[@dwaynerobertson383]

Excellent video. Glad I saw this. Thanks for sharin'!

[@davidthompson1622]

Great stuff ......at seven minutes fourteen seconds the Raven croaked his approval 🙏

[@chrisjensen9709]

Excellent and informative video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@starguard4122]

This is a very useful and informative video. Thank you for taking the time to make this

[@claudioruiz4367]

In my country Argentina we use the wool poncho, a hole in the middle and we avoid damaging it by pinching and enjoying every moment, in addition the poncho protects in an excellent way and gives us a lot of mobility and can be used as a blanket, a poncho woven on a wool loom, where the wind, snow and water do not pass

[@1959jimbob]

Very well done thank you for teaching this diy. It functional and keeps in tradition in re-enactments historical events. Thank you for being kind enough to teach it.

[@jeffersoncarlisle3125]

Excellence. My favorite video on wearing a wool blanket so far. I love the version with pockets. I happen to have some dried mugwort as well!

[@D9everything]

Excellent! Talk about upping your gear selection (kit for our UK peeps) by leaps and bounds with some very creative and valuable knowledge! Throwing this together with an awareness of knots and you've almost weightlessly increased your options in the outdoors by leaps and bounds. Nine years too late but I don't care - this is awesome!

[@Iwillbedurnd]

To date I think I have watched over a Million videos... Really. This By FAR is the Best Most informative and usefull ones I have seen.

[@thedeathwobblechannel6539]

Cat videos are useful too.

[@handemooor984]

I've enjoyed a lot your vid. You are the multitool of wool blankets. Than You so much for sharing your useful tips.

[@evehutson7309]

This was great!!!! So many options out of one blanket. Thank you.

[@WhiteCherokee]

This is very helpful. Thank you very much for taking the time to make this. I really appreciate it.

[@sissyrayself7508]

Many uses of a wool blanket. Useful information. Thanks Ms Young.

[@darrelllee6792]

I've been such a wretch I don't deserve the comfort that you share, but never the less I will seek to do so. Thank you for the comfort.

[@Pursuet_Paradise]

Your video was amazing. I love that you are grounded in reality, just the way you are, no glitz or glam, just raw pure truth. This is the inspiration people need! I wish you would keep making more videos so we can all learn more from you!

[@carloscumpian6701]

In 15 minutes I learned something well-worth sharing, which I did with a dozen friends. Even the mugwort smoke was great to know, I wonder what else you might share with us. You seem exceptional, and that's why I and many others look forward to other videos!

[@jbbennett2816]

So cool, Ms. Antonio. What a great vid. Thank you for sharing. Wool blankets can be found almost anywhere on the web. Sportsman's Guide has an array of them. Good compliments to the wool blanket are wool socks, gloves and hat. Wool is the only material I know that holds its heat even when wet. ATB, Jb. P.S., that pin looks like a large snap ring.

[@douglasfraser4972]

The “Cowboy clasp” that you are showing is called a Celtic Penannular Brooch and began being popular around the year 700. This early medieval clasp was made of iron and was a very commonly owned item.

[@elvis3571]

fibula (at Roman era)

[@MTwoodsrunnerPrimitiveSkill]

nice vid Antonia....thanks for posting...i'm an old cowhand/hunting guide myself and can vouch for the many uses and attributes of the wool blanket...woods

[@thaiguysabu]

i'm sure you get this all the time, but man, you are gorgeous. great video by the way. i just bought 4 wool blankets online. not 100%, but here in northwest florida, they're warm enough in what we call "cold" weather. i plan to make my own wool blanket shirt/anarack.

[@byronlippe]

Very nice video. You are a natural teacher. I didn’t see any editing, you just walked right through the video. You are very cute, I want to sit with you by the fire. Cheers - hope all is well with you. I love wool and am sitting with a wool blanket right now.

[@kennymc7194]

A Very good wool blanket video, covered all the necessary info in one way or another! Great stuff! Im sure everyone could take something away from watching this!

[@woodsmokebob]

What a brilliant video! many techniques i've not seen anywhere else and many i've never even thought of! Thanks.

[@MountainMistWanderer]

Very Very Nice!! And neat blanket ideas!

[@robertsutphen2333]

Well done, excellent demonstrations!

[@xenoptryx]

Great video...you showed a couple things I haven't thought of. Thank you very much!

[@PoorRichard1059]

Great job Antonia. Looking forward to further videos.

[@PrepperDale]

I just got a wool blanket, this was a great video. Thank you.

[@Kayakwinds]

I'm quite impressed! A great video.

[@adonikam1]

Reeaaal late comment but EXCELLENT EXCELLENT VIDEO! Glad I found your channel I subscribed.

[@GaiaCarney]

Thanks, Antonia Young ☮️ your copper blanket pin is perfect 👌

[@19ghost73]

Thank You for sharing this useful info - I learned a lot from it!

[@paulrudd1063]

What a great video. Very informative and interesting.

[@RandomButtonPusher]

Very nice demo, clearly explained and shown.

[@conleycampbell8414]

Best blanket video ever thanks

[@abrahamd.annabel1396]

Great video! and Beautiful hair btw! 😍

[@123JumpingJacks]

Love this. Thanks for posting it.

[@GrampaMikeOC]

Antonia, this is a good demonstration of how the more specialized an item of gear becomes (jacket, parka, skirt), the less versatile it also becomes. A plain, old wool blanket can do many things as you have shown. Oh yeah, and you can sleep in it too! I hope you'll share more videos.

[@MountainManFred]

I assume it could be some sort of tent also...

[@ronaldrose7593]

Hello Antonia, thank you for sharing your fine video. It is a very practical set up. Take care and be safe. 🤗

[@truthnfreedomseeker]

Great demo. My wool blanket wearing will be much improved! Many thanks!

[@johnwellings3225]

great video, very imaginative way of using a blanket.

[@Doesch]

That was very practical! Thanks

[@MyCommentsRMaturelol]

This is amazing. Should have known that survival folks would have a better grasp on comfort and utility than historical larpers.

[@alanoderoiforte8717]

Thak you Antonia. Very interesting and enriching your explanations of what can be done with a simple blanket. Could you tell me the measurements of the blanket?

[@blacksunapocalypse]

You seem like a pretty cool girl to hang out with in the bush! Just found a cheap army blanket while thrifting the other day. Shall give these a go.

[@DanielSnedden]

Great demo! Thanks!

[@cavemanNCC1701]

You made a great , clear video with good sound . Love the info as I have just bought a new wool blanket this year but , it's been five months ??? , surly someone like you has more to share .

[@billyjoedenny]

thanks antonia, just the right time of the year for this vid... ......bill

[@daverosa3077]

Gotta love yoga pants. Seriously. Great video.

[@theblissfullone]

Great video ... you should do more :-) I agree, the army surplus store is a great idea for supplies for camping/bushcrafting.

[@fergusrb]

That was a great demo but the Scotts beat you to it :-) They had the Feileadh Mor, the Great Plaid and the Breacan an Fheilidh the belted plaid. They also used a fastener which now a days is a big broach. I like your pin, nice and simple. Now you need a big wool plaid and you are all set. I like your wool blanket idea as Tartan wool is not cheap. Thanks again for the demo, i really enjoyed it. A lot of use full info.

[@The_Gallowglass]

Aye. I am thinking about getting 9 yards so I can wear the Feileadh Mor when I go hunting and bushcrafting. It is a little expensive though, but well worth it. I don't care if it is any particular tartan pattern, but I think different colors of green, faded orange plaid would be nice. Would help for camo.

[@fergusrb]

Clans had different version of tartan. There was one called hunting tartan, I don't think the colors were as bright as I remember. You may want to do some research on hunting tartan.

[@lanceroark6386]

The Scot’s came from the Saxons. The Saxons came from the Scythians. The Scythians came from Zerah. From Zerah, the lineage goes Judah, Joseph, Jacob, Isaac. Isaac is the root name for the Scythians; Isaacians. Angry Bastard Kilts has most of this info, so I’m not some crazy Bible thumper; but it’s true, the Northern Europeans were Hebrew’s that we’re driven out of Israel through the Caucus Mountains into Russia and Germany, then to Northern Europe and Britain. In fact, the word British is a Hebrew word that literally means covenant man. The Hebrew New Testament is the Brit Ha’deshah, which means Covenant Renewed. Ish is Hebrew for Man. So Brit-Ish is covenant man.

[@1122kiwi]

absolutely amazing...wow.

[@brianhelgeson1208]

It appears that this video is geared more towards women, but I got a lot out of it. Thank you very much for the information. Great job. Take care and have a merry christmas. ❤❇🏕🔥🥓

[@MountainManFred]

Just stumbled on to this...very good info...Thanks!

[@FRMHEVN]

Wow! Thanks so much for sharing! 💖

[@Jenult]

Thanks for this vid. Very comprehensive. I came here for the robe idea and found out how to turn it into a toga too! sweet! Plus I learned how to keep a towel more snug on my scrawny ass lol.

Thank you for this information

[@antoniayoung8031]

Thank you Tommy, for taking 14 minutes out of your busy day to watch my first You Tube video. I hope I get better at this!

[@edgarboy69]

great-this knowledge will prove useful

[@unownmew]

New blanket tricks, nice. I knew the coat and also a cloak method, but not those other ones, though a skirt-look wouldn't fit me -male- the pockets methods will probably be quite useful, thanks!

[@dlseller]

I was shocked to learn that this is your first upload. You are very articulate and have a very good sense of the viewers perspective. You can usually tell a new youtubers first upload because they're poorly planned and most of the important stuff happens out of frame. Well done! I'll like and subscribe to see what you do next. Do you have any interest in hammock camping or making your own gear?

[@tom_olofsson]

Thank you Obiwan.
