Are you a hiker? A hitchhiker?! DON’T DO THAT!
I mean more like a person who hikes and then likes to sit and rest a bit as you enjoy the scenery.
How about taking walks with the kiddos? Do you like to do that?
Impromptu picnic planner? A park day with your pup? Sitting by a riverbed? Enjoying an outdoor concert?
Are you beginning to wonder where I’m going with all the questions? ARE YOU?!
Whew. Enough.
What all those activities have in common is sitting at some point after you’ve had some fun. And if you’re sitting, you’re going to need a good blanket to sit on. One that can take the abuse of rocks or twigs or dirt. But, who wants to carry a blanket on a hike? Or to the dog park? Or with kiddos in tow?
How about this find: A blanket small enough to fit in your pocket and weighs practically next to nothing? How. About. That?!

Product Description
Did y’all catch that “easy pack pattern” thingy? Basically, the blanket has a pattern on it as a cheat sheet to refold. No need to memorize! Although, if you’re anything like me, you’re gonna wad that baby up and cram it back into the little pouch.
I love products that make our lives easier. Carry a bigger blanket around as we live = annoying and cumbersome. Throwing a lightweight blanket into your pocket while you live = you’re doing it right!
Not rocket science, not curing hunger, not saving the world, but making life a little easier is totally on my list.
How about yours?

I didn't even think about that, but you're right. The bonus is it wouldn't add much to their pack, in terms of weight or room.
