How to Pack a Pocket Blanket Mini for Outdoor Events

Quick answer

To pack your Matador Pocket Blanket Mini for an outdoor event, shake it out, fold it into a compact rectangle, roll it tightly, and secure it with the attached stuff sack. This keeps it small enough to slip into a pocket or daypack.

How to pack your Pocket Blanket Mini in 4 steps

1. Shake out debris and moisture: Before folding, hold the blanket by two corners and give it a firm shake to remove dirt, grass, or crumbs. If the surface is damp, let it air dry for a few minutes or pat it with a towel. Packing a damp blanket can lead to mildew; always check for moisture first.
2. Fold into a compact rectangle: Lay the blanket flat on a clean surface. Fold it in half lengthwise, then in half again, so you have a long strip. Fold the strip into thirds or quarters to create a small rectangle roughly the size of your hand. Uneven folds create bulky spots that won't fit neatly into the stuff sack.
3. Roll tightly from one end: Starting at one short end, roll the rectangle as tightly as possible, pressing out any air pockets as you go. A tight roll minimizes the final size and makes it easier to slide into the sack. Loose rolling wastes space; aim for a firm, uniform cylinder.
4. Secure with the attached stuff sack: Slide the rolled blanket into the built-in stuff sack (located on one corner of the blanket). Pull the drawstring to cinch it closed. The finished bundle should be about the size of a large energy bar. If the sack feels too tight, you may have trapped air—unroll and re-roll more tightly.
