My neighbor in Bend said his old wool blanket is better than any sleeping bag
We were packing for a trip and he pulled out this heavy, worn Hudson's Bay blanket from his truck. He said he's used it for 15 years in the Oregon Cascades, even in the rain, and it just needs to air out. It made me wonder if I've been overthinking gear and buying too many fancy, lightweight things that might not last. Has anyone else had a piece of simple, old gear that just won't quit?
