Cloak storage?
Cloak storage?
So I was wondering if any if you have come up with a way to tackle the issue of where to put your cloak while traveling should you take it off? Do you roll it up in your bedroll, fold it up and sling it over your shoulder? I'm trying to figure out a way to solve this as I previously had only one blanket that doubled as my cloak however I found that it was a tad small and I'm now looking for a way to integrate a second blanket into my setup without it becoming too bulky. There is always the chance however that I'm deluding myself and I should learn to suck it up with just the one blanket but I'd like to hear all your thoughts!

Re: Cloak storage?
It either becomes a rolled-up pillow or a blanket (or additional blanket).

Sorry, should've clarified, I'm looking for ways to carry the cloak whilst still being on the trail rather than once I've made campStraelbora wrote:It either becomes a rolled-up pillow or a blanket (or additional blanket).

Re: Cloak storage?
if I'm not wearing it to keep warm/dry then it gets rolled up and tied to this thing: https://www.ranger.budgetauthenticity.o ... =36&t=4187

I tend to tie mine up in a horseshoe and sling it over one arm or wear it like I do my bedroll.

Re: Cloak storage?
I definitely make it a horseshoe if I take it off mid-trek. If it's to warm to wear it from the start, it's horseshoed in the middle of my bedding roll.
Now the sword shall come from under the cloak.
Re: Cloak storage?
Oh of course it's that simple. I really tend to overthink things sometimes!
Re: Cloak storage?
Yep, even Viggo Mortensen did it this way as Aragorn in the movies. Seems like a pretty universally preferred method (although I've never actually had the occasion to do it myself).

Re: Cloak storage?
I've found it quite warm to wear it this (horseshoe) way, but it keeps it out of the way and is probably less warm than wearing it. If I have my snapsack with me, I tie my cloak to the side of it to get it out of the way.
