I have been looking at this bedroll for a few months now and I keep coming back and watching your video ! Thank you !
Thank you for watching and liking my video. Because of you, I checked the price on Amazon, currently $370 😱 $400 with tax.
Man, that's steep. As you can see, this thing holds its value at least. If it was $200 now, I will be "mad". For $300-$330, I will say it is still worth it. Well, FYI, I got mine on July 2019, so with inflation, well, that's how we are having to pay our butts off for things now. You take care 😀
Vid is 4 years old and still holds up, good work my guy.
Thank you for liking the video. You have a great day and take care my friend.
I had been looking at this bedroll. After watching this video I purchased it. Very happy with it.
I bought an American made 17/90 Survival bedroll for $150.00. Looks exactly like that. Good quality and heavy duty.
You’ve done a great job showing the sleeping roll with your wool and fleece blanket! Thank you for your effort!

Good to hear that you found something that works for you. Have a great day.
Thank you great video , great bed roll.
Glad that you liked my video. Honestly it wasn’t that good and I still get quite a fair bit of questions from my viewers. I intend to redo this video again someday. Anyway, thank you for your kind words. Appreciate you watching my video. Take care and have a great day.
Your the only one that did a video on this, thank you for that:) hard to just buy it blind not knowing what it is. This was a big help
You are most welcomed. Not the most detailed or informational but I hoped that it is enough for you guys out there who are interested. Take care.
@@uwanitbad It actually was detailed pretty well, I have A great understanding of what it is now. I think I'm going to buy one and throw it in my humvee, I'm pretty sure its probably a little heavy to carry around. Thanks again for the great info:)
I bought that Faribault blanket 10yrs ago and it is one of my favorites, and I have 4 Hudson Bay Point Blankets(much more expensive). That Faribault Foot Soldier is the most durable and long lasting blanket I have ever owned. It is better wool than the Filson Mackinaw Cruiser or LRB Boreal(just sold both of mine). It is not the warmest blanket, but it stops wind like no other and it is the most resistant to abuse and neglect. Worth every penny.
The blanket is made near me in Faribault Minnesota, it pronounced (fair a bow). I’m making one of these thanks.
Thanks for your demo. Looks like a good piece of kit, and you did a fine job of showing how it works. I am a long-time fan of waxed cotton and bedroll tarps.
This is really cool. Thanks for the vid.
Thank you.
Thank you the excellent detailed demo.
You are most welcome.
Good tips. Thanks!
What a Great through Review! Thanks
Thank you for this! It helped!
You are most welcome.
Rockin it man,,,,,, good to to go.
Wow! You’ve inspired me!
very nice. Thank you.
A 440 dollar plus canvas, wool blanket sleeping bag. I bought a waxed canvas tarp, nice wool blanket and a bedroll strap with shoulder strap. 169 dollars. Works great.
What the links to them
Good review. I'm thinking of putting one of these on my motorcycle with the wool blanket but may add an air mattress... the thin self inflating one and air pillow in the headrest area... i'm old and need my creature comforts LOL
I don’t know where you are going on your bike trip but I am very sure you will get a lot of protection from the elements. Make sure you know this bedroll doesn’t do well in even long drizzle. Have a great time. Take care.
Very nice roll. Thank you for sharing 👍💯👊💥
You are most welcome and I am glad that it helped you in some ways. Have a great day.
Thank you. great video.
Thank you for watching and take care.
Great job showing us we dont want to carry this load.
Definitely not a piece of gear for everybody. Sure not for backpacking trip.
Good video. I'm just getting my bed roll system put together and this helps. Thank you
@Gerret Outdoors thank you for subscribing to my channel. I am glad that my video did help you in one way or the other. Well by the what kind of a bedroll system you put together? Hope you can also share your knowledge and ideas with us. Thank you.
@@uwanitbad I'm using a Fjallraven Ovik Blanket and a wool blanket. I was going to attach it to my Maxpedition pack but I decided to use an Alice pack.
@@uwanitbad I will eventually will show it on my channel.
@@gerretoutdoors3710 Great! Can't wait to see your channel soon. Please update me if you can. Thank you.
Wondering if this bedroll breaths well enough (does the wax prohibit sufficient ventilation)? How are you liking this?
Hi from Canada. Is there enough room inside the bedroll to put a sleeping bag? A sleeping bag AND a small sleeping pad? Thanks for your reply when you have time.
I am 5'8 and 158 lbs and have plenty of space all around still. Good luck 🤞
Nice set up, Ild say you are ready for the wagon train! All joking aside, I think that canvas and wool is hard to beat when sleeping in the woods. As long as the flying biters arent too bad.
Been using this over the fall season and it had been great. Thank you for the comment and watching my video too. Have a great day my friend.
@@uwanitbad Ive used the East German version of the Russian Plash Palatka with a wool blanket as a bedroll in the past and it works pretty well as long as you aren't too tall.
@@turtlewolfpack6061 German version should be pretty decent and by the way it is the tarp version or poncho? Because I tried to search on google it showed tarp and poncho so I am unsure how you used it if it was a poncho.
@@pkay1111 it is both just like the Russian one. It has more buttons and two armholes instead of one, is a lighter fabric and is a kind of camo.
Thank mate for the video. I’m looking to buy one and watched your video several time to pull the trigger and take the bite. Have you used it often? You mentioned you bought in 2019. How is it holding so far?
I don’t use this bedroll much at all but the quality of this bedroll is very good. It will last you for a long time as long as you do be reasonable with usage. It is of pretty heavy duty canvas. Just a reminder, this is not a bedroll to use on wet season. Have a great day.
I got one for myself. I've been setting it up. I'm waiting on two different blankets to arrive. One thing I noticed after starting to set it up... No flap to cover your head. That bugs me now. I might end up putting one myself.
Just use a shemagh. Take care.
It looks good but I'm not sure how waterproof this would be. I think water would gather in the side zips and the top stops short so there is no head covering and the water might then get inside from the top?
Definitely not recommended for wet weather use. It will block wind very well though.
How good is the wool blanket and bedroll at keeping you warm at night? What temperatures have you been camping in and using them? Im curious to get one but im not sure if theyre going to keep me warm enough
The wool blanket is good enough for 50F and also I will have to put on warm clothes too. The bedroll is good at protecting you from drizzle and wind. I thing good about the bedroll is that it definitely keep the mosquitoes at bay. Lastly, this wool blanket is 100% wool and if you give it some TLC, it will last you a lifetime.
@@uwanitbad thank you very much, youve been very helpful. Awesome video by the way
@@uwanitbad it keeps mosquitos away??
This looks AWESOME! What would you recommend to do tho if it rains?:D
Unfortunately not recommended when raining. Take care.
@@uwanitbad thanks man!:)
Great video.
Weird question, but does anyone know where to get that blue and green striped blanket that appears at 6:18?
I bought this in Melbourne when I was living there many years ago. From the label it says "Morgan & Finch home collection" and the back of the label says Bed Bath N' Table. Been using this fleece blanket for many years now. Hope this info helps. Have a great day.
@@uwanitbad Thank you!
What are the overnight lows where you camp?
I used it in my backyard during warmer days. I had used it in the 60's and I was still very comfortable just using a fleece blanket. Anyway you must know this is just a heavy duty canvas and the cold air will still penetrate through it. Make sure you use the correct rating sleeping bag as the canvas bedroll is in case it drizzle, at least will still keep your sleeping bag or blanket dry. Lastly, I will not recommend this using bedroll during wet season. It is for good weather so you can enjoy the outdoor and stargazing night. Have a great day.
Do you place the sleeping pad inside or underneath it?
Inside. But that depend on how big and thick a sleeping pad you gonna use.
How manik priice
I have a 20lb. Weight limit for my back due to injuries.
How has it held up since youve had it? Have the colors faded at all? Any damage or anything?
To be honest with you. I hardly use the bedroll. I have been unwell for a long time now and I really don’t know what is going on with me. But anyway, I can let you know that this is definitely a very durable and well made bedroll. It will last you a lifetime so long you don’t go overboard abusing it.
@@uwanitbad Thank you for your reply! Im sorry you are unwell. I hope you get better soon my friend. Stay strong.
Thank you very much and yes, I am recovering slowly but I will make a comeback soon. You take care too especially this point in time.
can the zippers withstand heavy rain?
Anyway this bedroll is not supposed to use during rainy days. With proper care and waxing, it will repel water well. Also I don’t think the zippers will become rusty if that’s your concern. Otherwise, there is “plenty” of room for a sleeping pad 20” x 72” (1 to 2 inches thick no problem). This bedroll can be handed down to your love ones for many years to come. Have a great day and take care.
Do you still like this? Have you tested its water resistance? It’s suppose to do well due to the wax.
Light drizzle you be ok. The zippers are not the sealed type if you get what I mean. Also the head area opening will not prevent water from getting in.
Prices
What about prices?
Do you know the weight of it?
Amazon says 3,8kg
Total weight?
The bedroll itself is around 7 lbs according to Helko.
DIY lots cheaper...price is insane, unless one's a glamper
Totally agrees with DIY stuff if one does have the skill, time and equipment to put things together. Have a great day.
$600 tho 😮😮
You want this instead without the blanket. Mine is without amzn.to/3Z8kb0T
crazy accent! hahaha
If you speak 6 different languages, somehow on the way you do pick up some accent. That's pretty normal?
@@uwanitbad i speak 6 as well and I don’t sound like that haha
Looks like a pain in the ass to me... Just roll that wool blanket up strap it on your pack and go... Nobody needs that extra canvas weight specially for 300 dollars
Safer for me to sleep in the open especially I have loads of nasties in our backyard. Yes it is a little on the pricey side of things but I believe with good care I can hand it down to my son.
