I used a moving blanket for a while too, it works fine enough to protect the rear cargo area. I liked the idea of the Yeti blanket but I couldn't see myself spending $200 just to keep it back there. I ended up buying a knock off for like $40 and it works great back there. It's double sided like the Yeti but obviously not as high quality but it works good enough. Great just to have in the back in case you need a picnic/beach pad or even use is as a blanket for any trail side repairs.

When i cut it to size i made sure to have a piece to be able pull out to cover the bumper when my dog get in.

It's great you guys found something to use that doesn't break the bank and works well....but just posting telling us about it, showing photos etc. doesn't do any of us any good unless you post a link to the actual product, come on guys help us out with a link!!

cargo solution
I made a base plate that replaces the carpet and is rhino lined. Very tough, holds up to a lot, and is water proof.

I keep a Harbor Freight Wool Blanket in each vehicle - $12.
60" x 80" Wool Blend Blanket
Let them air out bit. They stink when new. You can put em in a Pillow Case with the end knotted and wash them with wool-lite if the stink really bothers you.
I've used mine multiple times to lay on the snow / mud / wet pavement to get under the truck or kneel on to change a tire.
A wool blanket is handy for keeping warm and even putting out fires.
Also works good for covering items you don't want others to see.
Another option it to combine the wool blanket with a moving blanket like this:
72" x 80" Camouflage Utility Blanket

Thats not what the previous post was talking about. The previous said he found a BLANKET similar to the Yeti for about $40.

Won't anything from mud to water just absorb into the wool blanket? And sand/dirt get "stuck" in the fibers? Seems like it'd be annoying to keep clean. At least with rubber/canvas you can get it back to clean quite easily. Hmmm

If its from China do you thinks it’s wool? It smells funny too? God only knows what animal’s hair is in that blanket.
Just my opinion here.

Just let it dry then shake it out.
It's not something you need to keep absolutely clean.
