Hope everyone had an excellent weekend this 4th!
I'm hoping the experts here can comment on proper use of a wool blanket for camping. This past weekend, I camped on a beach and the temperature dropped to about 59 degrees. The camping location was close to shoreline and there was significant moisture on everything. Unfortunately, I only had a cheap hypoallergenic blanket and that ended up disintegrating during the night. I have suspicions that a wool blanket would have been most appropriate for such a camping scenario and provided added usefulness around the beach campfire. I'm confused about selecting an appropriate blanket and techniques using it.
Is a sleeping pad necessary or can a large blanket be wrapped around instead? What technique do folks use to sleep? I.e. quilt or wrap? Also, any suggested sizes for one person and then a couple?
Appreciate any insight you folks may have.
Thanks
