Hey, Cool Kids!

It’s especially cool this time of year here in Northwest Wisconsin. One might even say it’s downright cold! It’s the perfect season to curl up with a big, woolly blanket and keep warm. In fact, nearly the whole country was affected just a few weeks back when many states saw the coldest Christmas we’ve seen in decades with wind chill readings reaching as low as forty below.

A common misconception about blankets is that blankets themselves are warm. Unless you’re talking about an electric blanket, they don’t actually provide you with any heat. Where’s the heat coming from? Your own internal furnace! A blanket is only trapping in and surrounding your body with your own body heat that you give off.  

Northwest Woolen Mills knows this about blankets. They’ve been manufacturing wool and synthetic blankets for over 68 years! Located in Woonsocket, Rhode Island, this mill of the Brickle Group has made a living by providing comfort and warmth through their army blankets and emergency relief blankets.

Stay snug when the temperature drops with the Bunkhouse Plaid Wool Blanket, available right here at Everything Summer Camp. This bulky blanket is 60% wool with a cozy plaid design. Whether you’re wrapping up at home to stay warm in winter or draping yourself for added warmth around a campfire, it’s sure to keep you toasty and pleased.

But even more important than cold days and campfires, it’s a good idea to have blankets around for emergency situations. Have extra blankets around so you’re prepared to stay warm in extreme circumstances like a power outage. It’s also a good idea extra blankets in the trunk of your family vehicle.

Blankets are invaluable supplies when people don’t have gas or electric heat to keep them warm. Imparting humanitarian relief all over the world, Northwest Woolen Mills proudly provides blankets wherever they are needed. “Wherever there is a natural disaster or political strife,” they assert, “There is a good chance our blankets are there!”

Use the zoom feature when you hover over the main image of the product page on our site. It’ll allow you to get real up close and personal and see the fibers of this fantastic blanket. Naturally flame-retardant and easy to care for; just machine wash on a gentle cycle, add fabric softener to the final rinse, and tumble-dry on low heat. Get the Bunkhouse Plaid Wool Blanket and wrap up in this wool!

Hey, Riders!

If you’re passionate about horseback riding, then you’re probably already aware of our fantastic selection of riding gear from leading brand names like Equi-Star, Ovation, and Troxel Performance Headgear. Each of these brands has their own niche in the world of riding accessories. And today, I’m talking about Troxel Riding Helmets. We carry their Spirit Riding Helmet, Sport Riding Helmet, as well as the Dakota Horse Riding Helmet for your choice in riding protection.

The world’s frontrunner in ASTM/SEI certified equestrian helmets is Troxel. And they’re able to make this claim because Troxel has done their homework. With helmets that have involved physicians on the developing team, you can rest assured that your rider is well protected when they wear a Troxel helmet.

Having provided over three million helmets to equestrians across the world, Troxel saw that other horseback riding gear providers didn’t offer an alternative to their English Riding accessories. This left an incredible amount of western riders unprotected as well as a gaping, untapped market in the Riding Helmet business. Troxel is the first and only helmet manufacturer to provide safety helmets to both disciplines of horseback riding.

Troxel has been celebrated worldwide not only for its physician-developed research or its all-inclusive construction, but for its original design as well. Ever since it was first established in 1898, Troxel has given the horseback riding community confidence when they go riding. Troxel’s helmet designs reduce the risk of serious injury by 80% effectiveness.

Be prepared in the case of an accident and get a Troxel Riding Helmet for your rider. The world’s leading provider for certified equestrian riding helmets, Troxel is the right brand for reassurance when your rider takes off into the sunset.
