Snazzy sleeping bag

14 years 5 months ago #59594 by Eden Heimdell (amalthea)
So I've been perusing the interwebs looking for a sleeping bag that's cold-weather/outdoor ready and also more IG looking, specifically something shiny or pretty that a High Elf would use, to keep with the atmosphere but also keep me toasty in the cold months.  Basically, I'm getting tired of green camo.  :P  If anyone has ideas, I'm game.  Thanks!

Here's a good start:

For keeping it IG - simply throw a cloth over it.  I picked up a nice tapestry from the NY Ren Faire, and it's big enough to cover a queen-sized mattress / sleeping bag.

If you can't make it back up to the faire, check out:

There is the standby I employ - two flannel king sheets with a wool blanket (mine is a highland wool weave, but my second, for those serious nights in the Pocones in September, is an olive drab blanket that was a gift to my father fromn Uncle Sam.  They both look IG and keep me sufficiently warm in the Inn that I do not use the second blanket.  It has the added advantage of quick egress, not that anybody would want to kill me.  :)

Flannel contact layer and wool is  the only solution  I agree with Charlie.  Frequent the Good Will and Salation Army stores

Also check out Smoke and Fire  www.smoke-fire.com/keeping-warm-1.asp They have different colored heavy wool blankets from time to time  I bought an Orange one from the French Army that is about 3/8 "thick

Thanks for the advice guys! The tapestry throws are probably the direction I'm heading in, and as good as the wool sounds (and I still have my dad's from his army days) I'm allergic ;)  The ideas have gotten my wheels turning though!!

Good! No Quinarian should be caught in wool and flannel... :p
