- Wilderness Innovation's Osni Gear and PSS (Poncho Survival Shelter)! Howdy folks, I finally had an opportunity to experiment with my Osni Gear and PSS (Poncho Survival Shelter). In this video, I discuss in detail the features and specifications of the Osni Gear and PSS.
I also demonstrate how to make a hammock tree strap with 550 cord and a cinch strap to turn my PSS into a hammock.
I use my PSS as a hammock and my Osni Gear as top and bottom quilts for insulation while hammock camping.
Great items of kit I can't wait to use extensively!

Been ordering WI gear for years for hunting. Glad to see an independent review. This is some great gear
Their gear is incredibly well thought out, designed, and manufactured! I am Very Impressed!
i'm liking the newer poncho coat liner as a hammock. i still have the older ones. genious👍👍 demo u showed us
yes the man is back. hope you are feeling ok and thank you for posting a awesome video.
Thank You Very Much! I'm going to all that I can to get back to managing the channel, filming, and posting videos!
Nice job !
That's impressive gear, I ordered the poncho from them a couple of weeks ago.
AWESOME!
I ordered a poncho hd, great item, but it's been one month now and no reply yet concerning my order. I emailed them also but still waiting.. i hope all goes well.. can't wait to try it!
Nice and well thought out😮 thanks by the way I love how long you're videos are keep them coming 😀
Thank You Brother! Life has been incredibly challenging! I'm doing everything I can to get back to managing the channel and filming/posting!
About that hood, when in hammock mode, it drags too close to the ground, so it mightt be useful to (somehow) attach a line to the hood and (somehow) keep the other end accessible to you while you're inside the hammock, so that once you get situated, you can pull on the line and lift the hood up off the ground and against the bottom of the hammock.
I always hang my hammock high. Much more so than anyone I've camped with. I tried pulling it to the inside and laying it as flat as I could, but I could still feel it. Not necessarily uncomfortable, but unpleasantly noticeable.
I certainly love mine…. I have one of the HD ponchos in 500 Cordura….. heavy yes, bulky yes, BOMBPROOF YES! I take it on my canoe camping trips in Missouri knowing I can throw it down on a gravel bar or crash through the brush with no worries.
Fantastic! One of the HD poncho's is high on my want list!
Nice review john.. good to see you sir.. K.
Thank You Very Much Brother Kyle!
Yeah I went to that website and saw all of that and really do wish that I could get me a set of them myself or at least just one cuz those things are nice poor pitiful me, keyword poor, can't afford one so I guess I'll just keep what I got. Thanks for the video it really was entertaining and informative. I kept expecting you to fall out of one of those sleeping bags at sometime but well, you didn't.
Thank You Brother! Yeah, the stuff ain't cheap that's for sure! I was expecting to fall out as well! I was surprised with how stable it was!
@@boonedockery7220I have 2 ponchos and one Osni 3.6 ounce insulation liner and would willingly spend more on them; they are built better than any other “similar” items Ans at built custom to order every one of them; I’ll be buying more.😊
Thanks for the video. I'd be interested to know how packed down the 3.6oz could get if its compressed.
I will be compressing them for my next wild camp. I will publish a video of the camp and will show both of them compressed.
Look up om youtube Mule tape tree straps. There is a double strap and a single strap version since it has such a great break strength.
OOOOOOOOOOOO I will definitely look into it! Thank You!!!!
Also going to stick this here. Since before making my purchases. Had a number of questions. His poncho sizes work like this.
PSS Is the standard sided poncho.
PSSLB is the poncho shown here with 6” longer in the back.
PSSLE is this one except with the front as long as the back. So an extra 6” on the front an back.
Also the XL which the poncho with 6” added to the width on each side. To go further down the arms.
He also has add on options. For the hammock use.
One is the paracord option.
Another is what he he called a quick connect. In the channel at the base of the poncho will have a dyneema cord with an loop/eye on each end that stays in the bottom hem stored away.
An the other option is that built in cord that snaps in with 2 five foot lengths of daisy chain webbing. And two 3-4” aluminum like tent tubings for a marlin spike to connect it to the webbing around a tree.
Other add on options are Hoodie pocket. So the same type of pocket on your hoodie sweater but added to the poncho.
Another is what he calls is Sleeve extensions. Where there’s an extra 6” width added to the sides only in a small section.
Say you put it out an hold your arms straight out to the side. Where your arms/wrists comes out from under the poncho. In that area there’s an added 6” on each side. With a couple extra snaps.
Which can be snapped around the wrist almost like a cuff on a sleeve.
Also Perry is a great guy. If you have anything you want to know or find out about.
The phone number on his website is to his phone. Your not going to get any secretary or press this number or this one prompt bullshit.
An to top of off. Least every bit I purchased sewn to is is a tag Made In The USA.
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! FOR ADDING THIS!!!!!
Based on your videos, this is the first system of this sort that has truly impressed me...
Going start off getting one of the HD PSSLB w PSE... I could not find a size description for the LE designation however. Looks like it is perhaps extended front AND back ? (edit = it is extended, font AND back.)
I will certainly contact them before ordering, so I get squared away.
Excellent video, thank you for sharing !!
LB is long back. So 6” extra on the back. LE=6” extra on the front an back.
Thank You! If all goes according to plan, I'm going to take it out this weekend as part of a minimalist kit. W.I. Is a great company with great products!
I love my OSNI/PSS combination, but it doesn’t work well as a hammock because it lacks the asymmetrical lay. Further, you have no top cover…so you end up buying the a storm shield that requires a ridge line over the hammock. You have to buy a bunch of add-ons to make this system work as a hammock (e.g., bug net).
I agree that it's limited and lacks a cohesive design theory. However, as individual, multipurpose components, I believe it has merit.
Love mine. Have 3 one in the ultralight, one in the grayish colored dyneema blend one I believe was like 40% dyneema, an the last one I got was the Ultra200. Truly bombproof.
I don’t believe he has them two anymore. $430ish bucks each for them two for the quick connect option an sleeve extension. Pricy.
But man I love em. Sleep better in the hammock poncho than a standard hammock.
The osni gear amazing also.
An being from Louisiana with the bugs. Definitely had to get the slider bugnet.
An a few other things. Great gear. Just wish I found em way sooner. But no regrets.
Thanks for sharing this! Everything I purchased was worth every penny! It be even at a slightly higher price.
Have you tried to put the top quilt on before the bottom quilt when using your poncho as a hammock then you won't have to stuff the top quilt into the foot of the hammock then when you synch the bottom it should be wind proof.
😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳 BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!! I'll try it this weekend! THANK YOU FOR THIS SUGGESTION!!!!!
Brother John,,,, 💯% Excellent Review,,,!!!!! I’ve really been waiting for another great review on this system. Based on your experience with hammock camping,, is this poncho/ hammock system as comfortable and durable as other systems,,,like DD,,,etc.,,,??? As a poncho with a excellent choice of liner’s,,, it looks amazing,,,,!!!! But in relation to Your other hammock systems,, how does it stack Up,,???
I Pray your ruff roads are getting smoother. Our Prayers are with You and Your Family,,,, Joshua
Thank You Very Much Brother Joshua! My ruff roads have gotten worse. My middle daughter has breast cancer and is a very difficult situation in multiple regards. She is expected to make a full recovery but we have a long road ahead of us, again in many regards. That being said, the ruff roads have prevented me from woods time. I plan on taking my W.I. gear to the woods this weekend for a thorough test. My first impressions are that for a multi-use piece of kit is is surprisingly comfortable! It is not as comfortable as my stand alone hammocks from my first impressions. However, I will find out for sure this weekend. I will be posting the video ASAP! Thank you for your prayers! My family has needed them and we have felt the power of those prayers daily! We could not have dealt with what we have nor will handle what lies before us with out those prayers and the mercy, grace and power of our Almighty Father!
Perry had dozens of more products. But people did not know about WI so I guess he stopped making them.
I guess the millions of dollars some companies spend on advertising permeates the fabric of the web and that's what people see or want to see? It'll take someone that has a million plus subscribers to effectively put WI out there. I will keep plugging them because they make top notch kit at fair prices. I love supporting family/cottage businesses!
@@boonedockery7220 I think he does pretty darn good in sales. I think he sells to the military, not sure which branch or if it is even our military. But good on ya for getting the word out. I should post videos , but I lost my house to a landslide in SE Alaska. Now I live on an island in the Aleutian chains. No trees!

“Shake and bake!”
Is the background had a little more green in it I believe that thing and totally disappear you wouldn’t be able to see it it probably 25 yards maybe less
The Green Is There Now! Going to take it all out this weekend for a minimalist wild camp.
@@boonedockery7220 I’ll be there to watch the video
Would you be able to sleep on your side and be able to roll over without falling out?
I don't know, I'm a back sleeper. Other than bridge hammocks side sleeping is a challenge. Given the smaller size than my dedicated hammocks, I anticipated it would be very unstable and I'd be thrown to the ground like a sack of potatoes. However getting in and out was no problem and once inside it was very comfortable.
I sleep on my side in the WI poncho in hammock mode every time I sleep in them….have not fallen out yet!
Did you mean that WI went through bankruptcy? I’ve been watching their videos and gear but haven’t bought anything yet. Are they still filling orders or whazzup?
W.I. didn't go bankrupt, one of the sewing companies they outsourced to went bankrupt. I have no idea what's going on with them. I've had several people contact me with complaints of not receiving their orders for months and no one answers their calls or emails...
@@boonedockery7220it took me nearly 3 mos to receive my order, but mine was a custom request that his manufacturer isn’t accustomed to and they’re not supporting anymore.
The best way to reach Perry is via phone.he’ll honestly share with you what’s going on with your order and is really customer focused and driven.
I also ordered one ready to ship ponchos off the shelf and got that right away. Great ponchos from a really awesome company.
Thank you for reviewing their gear and supporting the community.
They are a small company that makes each item to order. You will get what you ordered. It may take 3 to 6 months, but it will show up. Perry is as honest as the day is long. He is a top notch guy. He answers the phone…. I have had many conversations with him. Bottom line it may take a while but you will get what you ordered.
I forgot to add, Perry admits he is so far behind on emails that that is the worst way to try to reach him. The phone number is on the website…. Use it and you will get an answer.
I think you need to do an update on the Wilderness Innovations video. After seeing your video on the gear I spent $500 plus on a poncho and a osni it’s been over 6 months and I still haven’t received my order. I am not the only one many others are experiencing the same thing. See below link:
