(Part 2) Best blankets & throws products according to redditors

Where can I ...

Oh here!

I found this one on amazon.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07343DK69/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_api_VVwYzb61311PD

Seems pretty similar in price and quality. Is there a reason why you chose to back it?

Okay, I got this.

G4Free 40L backpack - $18.99


Paria Sanctuary Sil Tarp - $79.99


Polycro ground sheet - $7.98


Sleep pad - $16.79


Down throw - $31.95


Ultralight, summer set up straight from Amazon for about $150.


edit: oops, you said no tarp. You could add the bug net for $65 and be at ~210 for an ultralight, modular set up. Could also subtract the polycro sheet and save a few bucks if you buy the inner net.

I got you.

YnM Weighted Blanket (25 lbs, 60''x80'', Queen Size) | 2.0 Heavy Blanket | 100% Cotton Material with Glass Beads https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07343DK69/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_5F0XCbSP5YX1G

I highly recommend getting Hogwarts uniform snuggies to complete the coziness. Warner Brothers Harry Potter, "Hogwarts Rules" Adult Comfy Throw Blanket with Sleeves, 48" x 71", Multi Color https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0069EJVYC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_K2.QCbCPFQVPH

• Brookelinen for sheets
  
  
• Down pillows from Target are ridiculously comfortable. Just make sure to get the firmness you like.
  
  
• And since we are spending money here... read the reviews on the Hudson Bay blanket and then convince yourself not to buy it.
  
  
• I think small LED string lights can look very nice if done correctly. I went to Michaels and bought two birch logs, stuck them in a vase, put a few rocks in the bottom and then tightly wound string lights one of the branches. I have it on a sunset/sunrise dimmer that automatically turns it on when the sun sets. I like the lighting it adds while also not becoming too feminine.

Girl! I'm a heavy squirter too. Do NOT waste time with a towel. It makes an even bigger mess. Get this. Its worth every single penny. Put it down first, go to town, then throw it in the wash. No wet spot at all.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01N100ARI/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1503840182&sr=8-1&keywords=liberator+throe

If you have the budget, I'd recommend one of these. We issued water proof mattress covers but it was a pain to have to change the sheets before going to bed after sex. Towels or disposable bed pads over the sheets work but they can be distracting and possibly kill the mood.

This plus two of these (one to sleep on and one to sleep under) is all you need.

Cots aren't worth the space needed and air mattresses aren't worth the time it takes to set them up, the noise with it, or the space.

1. This looks like way overkill to me. It's designed to heat up an entire room, some 800 - 1400 ft^3. A teardrop is going to be way less than 200 ft^3. More like 90 for an interior than is 6'x5'x3'. Remember also that you are a heater. A human body at rest generates about 250 BTUs / hr. So how much heating do you need? Take the 6,000 BTU heater you linked, which is able to heat a 10x12x8 room. The volume of the teardrop is 0.075 as much as the room, so you'll need roughly 0.075 as much heat. If we accept 6,000 BTUs as necessary for the room, then the teardrop will require about 450 BTUs. But remember that your body generates 250 at rest. And if there's two of you in the teardrop, you're generating about 500 BTUs of heat, which exceeds the capabilities of the heater! So you really just need a little heat boost to take the edge off the cold before you get in the trailer (say in the evenings), and your own body heat should keep things cozy the rest of the night.
   
   
2. This is a natural gas heater. Will you be carrying NG?
   
   Consider a very small electric heater. You shouldn't need to use it a lot, and a very small amount of electricity should go a long way here. Couple it with a marine battery and it should last you for days, if you don't leave it on when it's not needed.
   
   Edit: It strikes me that a decent electric blanket would be an awesome solution. It's exactly the right size, puts out a good amount of heat for that amount of space, and they come in both AC and DC varieties. Just turn it on half an hour before you plan to go to bed, and I bet your trailer will be toasty warm by the time you're ready for it.
   
   Edit 2: For example, this Queen sized electric blanket produces about 560 BTUs/hr, takes about 15 minutes to warm up, and has an auto shutoff feature.

Towels won't do you much good, as they will get soaked through. You need a waterproof sex blanket like the Liberator throes that you can lay down and go wild on, and just throw it in the washer when you're done.

I had this exact same blanket in my childhood home and I loved it. I'm assuming you have a similar sentimental attachment to this blanket but if you want to buy another one I found it on Amazon for a pretty decent price: https://www.amazon.com/Double-Blanket-Featuring-Decorative-Tassels/dp/B01H77IG7C/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1488168973&sr=8-2&keywords=Sun+blanket

I bought this heated wrap a few years ago and it's still going strong. When I first crack it out, everyone laughs at me until they use it. Then everyone wants to buy it.

ya..I'll never forget my first time. I hosed down the fucking room. It was great.

Edit: Just an FYI GET MATTRESS COVERS NOW!!! I use a Throe

Need this I stay very cold in the winter: [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FHW8WKQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Uw8TDb0563TSB]

You should choose 2 because its the season for giving.

What's the best song to sing when preparing your turkey?"All About That Baste."

It's a hotel... cleaning up first is completely optional. So long as you don't literally piss all over their furniture ain't nobody gonna care.

(btw, some advice from someone with the same kink: Invest in a Fascinator Throe, it's a velvety waterproof sex tarp. Even if your bf isn't into it, it gives you a lot more options for solo fun.)

Here is the one I got.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07343DK69/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1524184502&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=25+pound+weighted+blanket&dpPl=1&dpID=41jpQXxP5-L&ref=plSrch

This!! I got this as a gift and it is a life saver.

I have some Uniqlo Heattech socks, I wear those around when I'm at home.

I got a Slytherin throw blanket this year for Christmas. It's available on Amazon for all houses and also with the Hogwarts crest. You could also hang it on the wall as a tapestry.

Duh! Who doesn't!?

OK, NSFW: Most of it. Haha! Huge thing for Garterbelts and stockings! Seriously! LOVE THEM! Especially this one, this one, or this one. I have to get this for my GF. Looks like fun. Also, the classic school girls outfit is never a bad choice! Special mention for the tail and kitten outfit! HOT!!

Doctor Who: I love the Van Gogh beach towel and throw! Then of course theres the Tee, Tee, Tee, Tee, Tee, Tee, Tee, Tee, Tee, Tee, Long sleve Tee, Hoodie, bath robe, Hat, and scarf.

But my FAVOURITE thing in the list is THIS! I want this so bad! Must try and find it on the UK Amazon!

I first started vandwelling in the dead of New England winter - our first night in the van was 15 degrees F! (-9 C). A couple of things that I found helpful to make it more comfortable (until we were able to drive South to warmer weather):

• layers - you can always add more blankets. The trick is making sure that you aren't TOO warm (because sweating while you sleep in the cold will make it much, much worse)
  
• low-voltage (DC) electric blanket - I bought this one and it's worked super well for me throughout the years. Even on the coldest nights I would never need to turn it on any higher than 3/10, and the power use was absolutely minimal. With 200W of solar and 200Ah of battery (along with a 12v fridge running constantly and an inverter charging our electronics) we never even really noticed the power draw from the blanket.
  
  
• VENTILATE - the shitty truth is that unless you properly ventilate your van, every solid surface will collect condensation as you sleep that will either a) freeze before morning, assuming it's cold enough, or b) begin the molding process. Both of these are NOT fun to deal with. The absolute best way to deal with this is to install a roof-mounted vent/fan combo (the 'Fan-tastic Vent' or 'MaxxAir vent' are often recommended). If you don't feel like sawing through the roof of your vehicle, your other option is to open as many windows as you can manage every night. Our rig has screened sliding windows in the back that we would open no matter the weather. We also bought a tiny usb-powered 5v fan from Walmart to improve airflow a little bit. If we didn't have the windows open in the cold, the inside of our windshield froze over. Not fun.

Wonderful little things you use when you live in an colder area. I live in Minnesota and i have 2 electric blankets.

It's perfect for when it's a bit chilly inside but you don't want to turn the heat on quite yet.

https://www.amazon.com/Cute-Shiba-Micro-Fleece-Blanket/dp/B013W00AEK In case you missed his comment

I don't think this is the exact blanket, but it has [SHIBE] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B013W00AEK/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1511204673&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=shiba+inu+blanket&dpPl=1&dpID=51yvRdaKZnL&ref=plSrch)

Multiple options in different price ranges:

• Puppy pads - Cheap, disposable but can feel like laying on a diaper and may not cover a big enough area depending on what you are doing.
  
  
• Liberator throw - Has dual sided design. One side is satin the other is microfiber. About 100$. Some complaints of "zero abzorption".
  
  
• No more wetspots - We own this. It has dual sided absorption and is basically 2 "shammy" (microfiber) clothes fused together to a waterproof (non crinkly) liner. Basically liquids from one side won't leak to the other so it can be used quite a bit. My SO is a squirter and we are swingers so we needed a towel that would last. This blanket is GREAT and has lasted through multiple washings / drying (on low) so far. Highly, HIGHLY recommend it. I would get the red and black one. Nice for more "darker" stains if that happens.
  
  Mattress protectors may not have the absorption you want. And then you have to take it off after every "play session." A bigger "blanket" style will be easier to just grab and throw it down as needed.

I got it through Amazon. Here's the link.

Oh, my god, I need a Harry Potter snuggie. You are a god for bringing this into my life.

No problem! If it helps, I had to find the right clitoral stimulation too. I have the best luck with wand vibrators like hitachi.

The brand I was thinking of is actually Liberator, not Sportsheets.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N100ARI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_Jen6Bb5FFBDVY

I ordered this one (60x80 20lbs)

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B078V8WQBB?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd_title

I can’t say how it compares to other ones. This is my first weighted blanket, but I love it. I fall asleep faster and seem to sleep deeper.

Do you mean this? Just making sure...

Good luck with the training! Here's my entry. Stay safe and kick some ass! :)

Anyone ever rig one of these up?

It doesn't seem to be on the store anymore but there is something similar here: https://www.amazon.com/Surreal-Entertainment-Characters-Blanket-Collectors/dp/B07JGP8LCD

Or if you can do $5 more this is a much better one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FHW8WKQ/ref=s9_top_hd_bw_g201_i1

I would not recommend this. choices differ between if you are backpacking/hiking to a camp or just driving in/car camping. Gear can be expensive or reasonable but If you are just starting out, I would not recommend buying expensive gear before you know what provides you value. Everyone's different so some questions only you will be able to answer once you go a few times. I would recommend going conservative on cost to start out until you know what you prefer (Checking out other peoples gear on camping trips/ REI browsing sessions are a gold mine)

​

Sleeping Bag depending on what the night time low temps are (based mostly on how high the elevation youre going to be sleeping at this time of year) you don't need a sleeping bag, I would instead recommend a light packable down quilt like the one from Costco or This cost: $20-$40

​

pricier sleeping bag option

​

I personally use the Klymit Static V, You can get them refurbished for very little on Amazon/Ebay

​

Tent Lots of options here, a few of them good for a low price. Decision is if you're going to be going solo or taking company (Size) and again how light you want to go on the weight. Freestanding tents generally provide more shelter but can be hotter in the summer and generally heavier. Some people choose only a light tarp setup for ultralight backpacking. its a personal choice but I would definitely take some time to think what suits your need on this. A few options.

​

​

For the tent I would recommend spending a little more if you are strictly buying for car camping, itll have more longevity and youll be using it for a few years. This is my car camping tent. $260

​

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M87LPMU/ref=twister_B07BWCR88J?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

​

I would highly recommend investing in some permethrin/bug spray, a good hat and a Head Net to go along with it.

​

Happy trails.

I just bought that one for my girlfriend for her birthday, and it seems really good. She uses it for therapeutic yoga as well as herself. I got the 15lb one, wish I got the heaviest they have though. You can just fold it over on itself to get more weight on you, though.

Theres this one, mostly d1 characters but alot of them are in d2 as well. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JGP8LCD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_PnHQCb7FFTZ2W

Dang girl have fun spending that money! Thanks for the contest :)

Also heres one for Mat: https://www.amazon.com/Being-Darth-Vader-Blanket-Sleeves/dp/B00U0NDBDA/ref=pd_sim_201_7?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00U0NDBDA&pd_rd_r=PEPFY3D7QB9ZZBGY8P16&pd_rd_w=uw0Wx&pd_rd_wg=oYQdd&psc=1&refRID=PEPFY3D7QB9ZZBGY8P16

I got it through Gamestops power up points program but Amazon also sells them!

Amazon!

I love it. I accidentally got a 10lb blanket, but I meant to get a 20lb. I still like it a lot but when it's time to replace I'm definitely getting the heavier one. I didn't really expect it to do anything but so far it's been wonderful!

The brand is Hudson Bay.
https://www.amazon.com/Hudson-Point-Blanket-Natural-Stripes/dp/B000T2VLH0

edit: and I guess they're worth more than I mentioned above :)
Cherish that blanket.

I doubt you will be happy with that blanket. I personally detest the surplus blankets. They are hit or miss quality, most of them smell, and they are almost never 100% wool. We all love wool but fleece out performs wool pound for pound. It’s not naturally fire resistant but it wrings dry and cost next to nothing by comparison.

I have hit the trails with this blanket in king before. It was my go to for 40°F and warmer until I finally got a down blanket.

You can't go wrong with a snuggie. I know they look weird but at home, Love it. http://www.amazon.com/Hogwarts-48-Inch---71-Inch-Sleeves-Northwest/dp/B0069EJVYC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1416248884&sr=8-3&keywords=snuggie

Se consiguen de estas en Argentina?

Sure. It was: ~https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07G2NM611/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1~

The cheap end seems to evolve so fast that the product is unavailable. This seems to be the same blanket: https://www.amazon.com/Weighted-Idea-Blanket-Youths-Premium/dp/B074BX8YMW/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=fabula+life+weighted+blanket&qid=1559370356&s=gateway&sprefix=fabula+life+&sr=8-3

A 72” × 48” one in 15 lbs.

There are many very similar products and I made my choice based on price + delivery (it was delivered overseas so the price of delivery was a significant factor).

I remember that earlier I had my eye on a blanket that had slightly smaller pockets and they were stitched diagonally, but I could not find that one anymore…

There

are

a ton

of things

When I say comforter I'm referring to this versus this which I consider a blanket

Welcome to the frozen north and brace yourself - winter straight up sucks. Here are some things that will make it better!!:

These bad boys will keep you from falling on your butt when you're walking on icy roads and parking lots.
A heated mattress pad will keep your bed nice and toasty warm! Sanctuary!!!!
In a similar vein, a heated throw blanket will keep you warm while you're on the couch. The great thing about heated mattress pads/throw blankets/etc. is that it keeps you warm without you needing to turn the heat up, using less heating oil. And using less heating oil is a GOOD THING!
They aren't sexy, but long underwear are effective at keeping the cold at bay.
Chintzy cotton socks aren't gonna cut it anymore. Invest in some solid wool socks. Yes, they cost a lot, but they are worth their weight in gold!

Don't worry - you'll make it :)

I had a lot of issues with the feathers, as well as an allergic reaction.

I'd like something lightweight, suitcase-packable, hypoallergenic, washable, and doesn't shed. I looked on Amazon, and there are rave reviews on

polar fleece: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00J7B8T5Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_RCsVAbT1RHJKW

microfiber Sherpa throw: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0158ER0E6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_EDsVAbVF2DZ9J
