Oh yeah, poncho is the thing! Small size, multiple uses, light weight... just throw one in the backpack and forget it's there until you need it! It has saved me more than once when sudden storm came by and I was outdoor. Thanks for showing all the purposes for it.
Excellent video thank you 👍
Thank you for taking the time to show this. Suddenly a whole lot of people are realizing that basic skills can help in a crisis.
Knowledge is the key to survival .

“Applying Knowledge“ is the key to survival!
You can light a small tea candle inside one of those (safely!), while you are sitting stationary for a while, and it becomes a portable sauna. If you were trying to avoid being seen the light emitted inside the poncho would most likely not even be visible. Certainly not compared to an exposed candle/flame/lighter, and certainly not from a decent distance away. An unfortunate fall through the ice, or get swamped in the cold with water otherwise, and this could save your life. They are an unbelievably versatile item. Can set it up like a decoy for evasion, a boat sail...take a dump in private - even if folks are right there in front of ya'!! So many applications! Crazy to go hiking/camping/bushwhacking without one.
"take a dump in private - even if folks are right there in front of ya'!!"
That comment alone merits multiple thumbs up! 👍👍👍
@@secondchance6603 hahaha!! THANKS!!
Great presentation. Many years as an Infantryman, it was a good refresher for those times that it is needed. MANCHU! Keep up the Fire Brother!
Nice summary and show and tell of uses. Didn't know about floatation or some others
man im learning so much, to the water catching technique all the way to USING fricken grasss to insulate more. dry straws in winter would be perfect. also a poncho with a liner is godly if its FREEEZIN COLD in winter -40, youd put that over your actual snowoutfit. stay kozy. even when ur supposed to be dead at those temps out all day.
i just love Mr. Alan Kay...just a good dude
Great tips, guys! Love seeing multiple uses for a single piece of gear.
I've been using my poncho for shelter for years and i learned a few things from this video. Thanks for the knowledge.
Excellent video just bought a poncho and wanted to be reminded of different uses again .. thank you I subscribed
i love my black poncho snaps the side tie the together pop on rain gear if you have back pack it keep you and stuff dry i haven't did a shelter yet will test all out in field
Thank you gentlemen.
Good information!
My wife and I just got a good laugh at your thumbnail..... (It's a poncho liner)

Also the floatation device was a tarp and not a poncho. I think a poncho might be to small to wrap up a small pack and have it water tight. With the hood and the fact that the poncho is about 60 inches wide, you might make it halfway across the lake.
Good tips here. I always use my poncho as a ground cloth underneath a tarp shelter, then a Klymit air mattress, the the poncho liner/woobie on top of that. That's what I sleep on...Then a wool blanket or two over me as cover...then a suspended bug net....I'm all set.
Excellent information, thanks for sharing.
When making a hooch from a poncho with a gooseneck, pin the four corners down first but a little loosely, then tie the goose neck to the overhead branch or crawl underneath with a stick for a center pole. Don’t forget to add foliage and grass/detritus off the ground to increase camouflaged effectiveness. When I was in the 82d we’d have cordage already on the poncho for tying it out. We almost never actually wore the ponchos, except maybe on guard duty at Bragg if that was declared the uniform.
To put branches of leaves over the poncho hooch put the thick branch thru the loop of the center tie-off to support the weight above the poncho hooch not on it, to avoid tearing it and to make the most room underneath.
This was a great and solid video, more should watch.
Hey that guy from Michigan that was on Alone. I’m in Michigan as well.
I was wondering what poncho is best to buy. Because there's a lot of different brands. I just what one to buy? Love your guys videos and tips. Please and thank you for your help. 😊😊
Thanks for sharing. Take care.
Well, I'm new to this wilderness stuff. I have the poncho, do I need that extra thing for crossing water?
Thank you.
You sound just like Dave Canterbury!
Just added one to my kit. Picked up the Helikon Tex and luv it. Instead of a tarp and switch it out for the poncho. Great video!👍🍻
Good uses and basic descriptions.
Could you please make a more in depth future video on turning your poncho into a floatation device.
It's ok to have TWO ponchos as well :D Also you can do a small tarp and a poncho.
Me too! One in my backpack and another in the butt-pack I keep loaded for overnighters and SHTF. Redundancy is good!! Never hurts to have a spare for someone in need, too.
Have you tried the Russian Plash Palatka 6Sh120 tarp? They had thought of everything when they made that tarp. Very durable, lightweight, it has a handgrip to use as a stretcher, and multiple tarps can even be stitched together with paracords to make a larger tarp.
British shelter half as well 👍
Awesome vid. Now I just have to get one or two.
Thanks Guys!!.. Great vid.!
Also good for picnics
Where can one get an actual military poncho. Not a knockoff or something cheap? Or is there one that is equivalent durability?
Hot one in my bugout bag but need to upgrade a couple others currently in other packs
1,You can tie 2 trekking poles to the poncho on the ground to become a slingback chair
2,tie your poncho both end to a tree and becomes a hammock chair😅
What’s the brand of this poncho, thanks
I haven't needed my milsurp poncho in an emergency situation but the single use plastic ponchos that cost about a buck sure has . They are about the size of a pack of smokes so there's no excuse for not having one .
What part of Florida are you guys located
My poncho can do all that. And is convertible into a hammock.
What are these Poncho's called exactly so I can look for them
👍
@3:13 did it rip lmao?
I knew all the uses except the flotation device, and you used a tarp! Not cool there, but otherwise a good video.
Imagine having 2...
