Now, figuring out how much warmth you need in a blanket is a mite trickier than saddling a wild mustang, but just as important for a peaceful night. It all boils down to personal preference and the kind of climate you’re used to.
Some folks, they’re like furnaces, always radiating heat like a blacksmith’s forge. They’ll be comfortable under a thin sheet even when the snow’s piled high outside. Others, they’re like a chilled bottle of whiskey, always needing an extra layer to keep warm.
If you’re sleepin’ in a bunkhouse where the wind whistles through the cracks, you’ll want somethin’ hefty, like a thick wool blanket with a high GSM, remember that’s grams per square meter? But if you’re in a heated house, somethin’ lighter like cotton with a lower GSM will do just fine.
And don’t forget about the time of year! A thick, warm blanket that feels like heaven in the dead of winter will feel like a sweat lodge come summertime.
Best advice I can give: try before you buy. Wrap yourself up in a blanket at the general store and see how it feels. If you start breakin’ a sweat, it’s too warm. If you’re still shiverin’, keep lookin’. A good night’s sleep is all about finding the right balance.
