Those are some great ideas. I'm definitely doing the barrel locks. I've just started to wear mine as a poncho. I have size 2 and it's perfect. I like the set-up as well. Tha ks for sharing 👍💯
You always come up with great efficient ideas with setting up shelters and this one is no exception. We always learn new things from your vids & getting ideas on improvement with our rigs & kits. We are creating & designing a poncho & tent combo with water proof material etc. Hopefully completed by the end of the year. It's for urban use basically and will donate it to the homeless folks. Just can't wait for your next episode, it widens everyone's horizons. Cheers mate. Greetings from Australia.
Thanks so much my friend. I really appreciate it. That is really great what you are doing to donate to the homeless. I am sure it will make someone very happy. I am catching up on a project, but will post something soon for hot weather camping. Have a good one mate. 🤝
What I do with mine was I attached carabeener clips to the gromits which allows me to use heavy duty stakes protects my Lavvu from ripping and allows me to get solid stakes in very handy for managing windy days in Ireland. Because the last thing I want to be worries about is tieing knots in the rain. One quick clip job done hammer time very effective and efficient.
Thanks Alex! Much appreciated my friend. Working with the old ponchos is some of my favorites to do. I call it poncho or tarp origami ;) Have a good one Brother. 🤝
This is where you excel , an excellent video which really does show just how versatile this poncho is . I'm definitely going to try out some of your suggestions for this piece of kit . Great video .
Awesome set up Jess. Just playing with your gear and keeping an open mind can allow you to come up with great things.Thanks for the confirmation on which way is out :) Nate
Jess I absolutely love your poncho knowledge thanks for sharing another brilliant video 6ft2” people will fall in love with their polish ponchos again well I have anyway 💪🏴👍🥩🍻
@@EnduranceRoom i'm currently working on a short video about the cutting equipment I carry it'll be nothing spectacular but i'll have it up in a few days. Any pointers are greatly welcome brother
I like the configuration. If a storm moved in at night and you need more coverage, one could even drop the nose of it, from the ridge line, and stake it down in a reasonable amount of time. Looks like to me at least.
Hi Jess .. 👍👍👍 .. some good tips there .. toggles really work! Thanks. The laavu or something similar? I'm half-mulling over whether to or not to .. weight vs durability near hot sparks. My current tarp, a Särmä Erakko 2.5 x 2.5 m is great .. big enough for me. However, in poor weather, I would like to get my Bushbox LF Wood Stove closer without fear of burning holes in my shelter. We'll see .. This morning was the first day out not in shorts and now wearing a jacket .. temps (°C) 'single digits / teens'. Had some rain lately but we are still labouring under a forest fire ban. Good news is that the threat level in our region has dropped from a '3 - Significant Danger' down to a '2 - Moderate Danger'. Am waiting on a Green '1 - Little or no Risk' .. then I can get out and give some Swiss Swiss Grannies 👁 an Apoplexy or two 😱 😁 . I missed your last Map Posting .. will have to backtrack and take a gander. Until next time my friend .. take care .. Tommy
Thanks Tommy! Canvas is hard to beat. My lightest palatka is Czech. Has a pretty neat marsh camo pattern. With the palatkas, you kind of need 2. A US shelter half might be cool. It is about the size of a single palatka, plus the wings/door flaps. It is starting to cool down here as well. Still have lots to do before winter. Have a good one!
@@thomasmusso1147 No problem. I waxed mine to help improve the water repellency. The thinner material is lighter, but there is a bit of a trade off. The wax helped tremendously and gave it a really nice patina.
Great video. Canvas military gear, while "heavy", is just really cool. Is that the largest size lavvu? I think there are 3 sizes, and I know you mentioned it in one of your other videos, I just cannot remember. Keep the great content coming!
Thank you very much. It is the L size 3. I just fit in the full tepee setup, but it is a little tight. Interestingly, 3 palatkas has more room and weighs about the same as 2 Polish ponchos. Have a good one!
That's the largest size Polish poncho. 3 grommet holes. Some people end up with, 2 or 3. A miss match. If you are getting 2 ponchos try to get the same amount of grommet holes at the front.
Thank you for your support and advice for toggle use with my lavvu's. I'll send them to your video.regards Ken

Outstanding Jess, always dig new ways to utilize the Plash Palatka.
Thank you Manfred! Appreciate it.
I love how inventive we can get with these things. I'm always coming up with new ideas

Really cool ideas with that poncho and it was nice meeting you on the road a few weeks ago!

Thanks! I was thinking along those same lines. With the corners attached the ridge line, it could make an A Frame like configuration.
Great video man, keep up the good work!
Thank you my friend! Appreciate it
Good info thanks
Love your channel 👍
Thank you very much!
Outstanding!
Pretty awesome setup
Cool video. I would call that set up the Manta. It looks like a manta ray lol
Cheers!
Thank you! That is 2 for the manta ray!

Cool config! Thanks!
Nice! Also I’m glad I’m a shorty 😆
👍🏻👍🏻

The three grommet size is the largest, but it’s not really that much larger.

What is that camouflage shirt you’re wearing? Very cool
Thanks! FSB summer suit from RussianColdCamo.com
@@EnduranceRoom this is the brown and white one?
@@totentanzthewolf Yes. It is made of vented athletic material like used for basketball shorts or something similar. Pants and jacket set.
@@EnduranceRoom thanks, wanted to make sure
Do you ever Treat those Poncho's with water seal for extra Strength? (ScotsGuard)
I don’t, but have used beeswax mixed with coconut oil on my Czech poncho to increase water protection.
What do you find to be a better shelter/poncho the lavvu or the plash palatka? I’m looking at either one and want good rain capabilities
I like them both, but the Polish is bigger. I usually pack 3 plash when I use them, which weighs about the same as 2 Polish.
