Warm Wraps: The 5 Best Camping Blankets Under $40
* Camping is all about lightweight packing
* These blankets don’t weigh much, but provide a lot of protection
* One side will protect you from the elements, and the other will surround you with soft warmth
As the weather slowly starts to defrost, it may be time to start planning your next camping trip. A 2017 survey found that 40.5 million Americans went camping in 2016, and many people see it as a way to reconnect with nature and escape the stress and chaos of everyday life.
Those of you who have been camping know it’s all about packing light and stripping down to the bare necessities. These blankets are specifically designed for the outdoors, with one layer of water and windproof plastic to protect you from the elements, and another layer of fleecy warmth to encase yourself in. Many also come with handy carrying cases, which can also come in handy when going to a stadium or outdoor concert.
