Egyptian Cotton sheeting can be obtained at most any department store. To
name a few Bed Bath and Beyond, Linen and Things, JCPenney, Target and sometimes
Walmart. Of coarse the higher the thread count the higher the price, just do
some price checking and remember to get the flat sheet.

I remember reading a piece about it on crazy coyt's webpage. Can't remember
exactly but I think it was either the Bon or Dillard's or some store such as
that. Just a king size sheet with a high thread count per inch.

>>my two blankets in very cold weather. Didn't have a thermometer or radio
>>along so I really can't say how cold. Some nights a small fire warmed

>>My experience with hair-on hide has been less than wonderful. I've never

>>so at least one of us was brave enough. I would think Crazy is right

>>moose leather.
>>
>>MOST hair-on commercial tan hides have not properly neutralized the acids
>>in the tanning process. Hence when used on the ground (or stored on a
>>closet shelf in Missouri) they will absorb water and rot. The hollow hair
>>of elk and deer never quits breaking, it never seems to thin out but the
>>constant hair everywhere becomes old fast, it will even show up in your
>>food. Hides are also heavy and more difficult to pack than blankets. All
>>are a pleasure under you at night. I've had less rotting with commercial
>>sheep than with deer, buffalo, elk and bear.
>>
>>I have two Hudson Bays I bought in the mid '70's they have served well
>>many nights since. They are still warm and a part of my bedroll with the
>>luxurious hand-loomed blankets I now enjoy. Perhaps mine are still warm
>>and useful because they haven't been washed much. I do hang them in the
>>hot sun for a day and beat them with a carpet beater every year or so. I
>>have over a dozen blankets in my bedroll, I don't take all of them all of
>>the time.
>>
>>Do not let anyone tell you the European military cot blankets are inferior
>>they are smaller than a 4 point that's all, so were the blankets traded
>>during the period. I have purchased and used several and find them to be
>>of good quality, my winter leggings and some other gear is made from them.
>> For $10 to $20 each they are a great value.
>>
>>If you want to wrap up in canvas consider that A 300 thread count Egyptian
>>cotton sheet used in place of canvas breaks the wind as efficiently with
>>much less weight.
>>
>>When you lay out your bed if you are using a four point under you, fold it
>>lengthwise in quarters to increase warmth. A cot blanket is better folded
>>in thirds: because it is smaller. If you have two blankets to place under
>>you fold the first only lengthwise then fold the second again in half.
>>This way (with 4 point blankets) you have 4 layers under your legs and
>>feet and 12 layers under the trunk of your body. Wrap up in your sleeping
>>blankets and canvas and you'll stay plenty warm. If you are wrapping
>>canvas around you DO NOT use oil cloth or you will be wet, wet equals
>>cold; particularly in humid areas. Canvas can often be used better as a
>>reflector than as a wrap.

>>It takes some bedding to stay comfortable in winter, survival can be done
>>with a lot less. We are (in most instances) no longer able to practice
>>old ways of woodcraft (bough beds and such) as it would denude areas we
>>must share with others. Because we can't cut what we want every night it
>>requires us to carry what we need. A toboggan is one practical choice:
>>without snow a wheelbarrow (like Buck Connor uses) is another. Of course
>>horses were the chosen method back then, but then this is now. Dog sleds,
>>sledges, travois, knapsacks, primitive style packframe/chairs and many

Subject: RE: MtMan-List: Bedding
bb, everytime I return from an outing I hang my buff robe over a
clothesline and work it over good with a tennis racket (both sides). this
knocks out the dust and brings specks of 'stuff' to the surface where it
can picked off by hand. The robe is shiny and new looking after several
years. yfab, hardtack

Where can a fellow get Egyptian cotton sheeting?....
I got mine from a place called 'Linens and Things', a chain store that
sells bedding, towels and such. I got a great deal on Egyptian Cotton Bed

Thank ye kindly. I thought it was something hard to get. I had never heard
