Is this blanket quite? I wanted to use it while hunting

I assume you meant "quiet!?" Yes, very soft and quiet material. Should work fine for hunting!

I guess so, it's semi water proof on one side and the other is a different fabric, I haven't tested it's stealth qualities, but I'm sure it will be quiet enough for you. It will be just as loud as your clothes.

I've used it while sitting up in a deer stand recently, and it's definitely quiet enough to not spook any game that might be close by. It's definitely NOT as quiet as a wool blanket mind you, but the light weight of this poncho liner balances that out in terms of pros and cons. It's also much easier to stuff into your ruck when not using it.

it is my understanding that the British military uses this thing - so maybe that is an answer. i cannot hear noise that it makes - but i cannot hear a watch tick. perhaps if you find it too loud then you could wear ear plugs (ha!) - It is similar to a US Army poncho liner - I do not think it would be a viable excuse for going home empty handed

I agree with all of the previous answers. Quiet enough. My only contribution to this discussion would be to give you some semi-scientific data. I downloaded a free decibel meter for my phone and measured the noise level of the jungle blanket, a wool blanket and a mylar blanket. Here's what I found:Wool: +15 dB over ambient noiseJungle: +15 dB over ambient noise (I was surprised by this)Mylar: +30 dB over ambient noiseI hope this helps.

It is not made out of mylar so it doesn't crinkle loudly like emergency blankets if that is what you are worried about. Now that said it isn't jersey cotton either, the rain repellent side feels like parachute fabric while the inside is a softer warmer fabric meant to keep you comfortable. I would think you are good to use it for hunting, at the very least it is worth a try. I have two and rave about them.

Its not silent nor is it a crinkle bag. Definatly quiter than most rain coats.

I believe so the nice thing about these blankets is that they aren't heavy so I use it as a comforter then a small blanket under it but I get too hot I have to push this blacket off of me so I believe once it gets colder it will work perfect. I always have liked any kind of goose down or similar because they are great in hot or cold times and are super comfy and soft.

No. This blanket is very thin. I would not buy it unless you plan to put another blanket in top of it. Not worth the money.

How thick? If you are familiar with the standard mil-spec type blanket on the market, this is twice as thick. Worth every penny. I've slept on the ground around the fire a few times with it and I was very happy. It stops the bulk of wind too.

It is filled and stitched very well. It's a heavier blanket; I've taken it off for summer now.

I found the blanket distributed an even heat all over.It is not a hot heat but certainly provides some warmth.

Yes, I have it between 2 blankets and it has held up well over the year. It did come with some loose threads but I just trimmed them back and I have not had any other issues with the blanket.

It's a winter weight blanket. Since it's wool it's heavier than the cotton or microfiber ones by far. I had a Hudson Bay as a child and bought this one because I missed having a nice winter blanket.

It is itchy. It's wool. Kept me warm in a deer stand with 9* windchill though. Heavy but warm. If you don't want itchy, find alpaca wool. Hard to find on Internet.

Unfortunately I'm not real familiar with the camping conditions that area. All I could say is that if you don't plan on camping in below zero weather then I would get the zero degree sleeping bag. If you were on the verge of 0 degrees and a little below I think an extra blanket would keep you plenty warm.

Yes - surprisingly well. It's very light weight, so don't expect a heavy blanket. I use it to cover and protect my couch (we have dogs) and it's the perfect weight.

REI has the same blanket. Their website says 5X7 feet. From my observation in actual use, that sounds right. Remember that there is no fleece on this thing, despite the picture.

Sure you could...either hem with needle and thread or use duct tape. Will look like crapbut it could work if you don't care what it looks like. BTW...this is not a very large blanketso if cut in half will be very small / short. Would not recommend doing this unless you have a very compelling reason to alter the blanket.

Personally, I think it would be a bit too light for use as a travel blanket, but that's just me. It might be just the right amount of warmth for you. I think it's a great idea and would take up so little room!! Give it a shot and share your experience with the rest of us as to whether you think it works in that capacity or not. I definately think it would be better than nothing. ~ jade ~

I think I would bring another blanket if the evenings are cooler. If it is a warm night, it should be fine.

No. It is super soft, keeps you very warm, and nice and comfy. I highly recommend this blanket. I bought this one and a second one with a dragon on it. Love them both!

If you like being super warm when you sleep sure! I used it this past summer in 50degree at night temps and was comfortable. ..I'm also the type that can't sleep with socks on and like it to be just a bit nippy when I sleep....That being said it's by no means a heavy sleeping bag - I purchased a different coleman for my husband with same temperature ratings and his is warmer/thicker. ..makes no sense but it it what it is!.....To thin it out a little maybe wash it a half dozen times before you use it?
