The beloved WubbieOct 28, 2009
By E. M. Van Court
"Van"
Don't leave home without it.
Of all the pieces of U.S. military kit I've ever seen (through 20+ years of miltiary service), none equal the Wubbie for value for money, utility, and comfort.
The original idea was a quilted, water resistant blanket that could be attached to a poncho (hence the bits of string on the corners and edges) to make a warm weather sleeping bag. Yes, I've actually heard of people doing this, but this is such a limited vision of what the Wubbie is capable of.
Picnic blanket, quilt, bedspread, couch cover, used by itself as a sleeping back, in survival kits, for air travel, pet beds (with or without human consent) etc. I used to keep mine by the couch for siesta time, but it kept getting stolen. In Germany, soldiers would take an unlined rainjacket and a poncho liner to the tailor and get the best cold-wet weather jacket in the world back.
If the camo is an issue, it is available in solid black and olive green, but I don't care about the appearance.
My Wubbie is not for sale or trade. Get your own and keep your paws off mine!

Every home should have half a dozen of these!Dec 25, 2011
By Dave M.
I bought my first poncho liner in Vietnam in 1964. It was one of the old ones from back when they were made from parachute silk. Now, almost fifty years later, I'm still using it. I guess I'm a 65 year old man with a blankie! It's ragged and torn but still usable. I've since bought half a dozen of the newer poncho liners made from polyester and they're almost as good, though to be honest if I could find the silk ones I'd buy them. My wife and I have half a dozen of them now. We keep them in the bedroom and in the family room. We never go on a trip without them. I give them as gifts and everyone to whom I've given them loves them. Take the title of my review seriously. Every home should have half a dozen poncho liners.

22 years and still goingAug 02, 2009
By Sheri
My dad was in the military, and got one of these suckers for me as a baby blanket.. Twenty two years later, it's still in great condition and *my* babies are using them as THEIR baby blankets. They're as bad as I've been these past twenty two years and drag them everywhere. They are warm, soft... and a nifty something that will last forever.
