Hey bro! Have you tried any of the Russian Boots From Russian cold camo? I just bought the Demi season all leather boots Today after watching your poncho video.
I bought my Russian Army poncho from a Russian website, I paid £40 for it. At the time, I thought it was the Ratnik basha with the integrated fly lines/cords that I was buying, when I opened the parcel and saw it wasn’t that, I was gutted! I put it away and forgot about it, fuming I’d paid £40 for it. A year or so later, I got it out and checked it properly and realised it was a really cool piece of kit, very well made, far better than other ponchos in terms of size and versatility. When I first got it, the material seemed very cheap and fragile, actually it isn’t. Now I love the thing, so glad I got it, I think all my initial negative thoughts about it were due to the fact I was really looking forward to getting the excellent Ratnik basha, like the British Army basha, but on steroids 😁, I was so gutted when I realised it wasn’t, also, I’d ordered some of the Soviet Jack boots, which many sites “big up” into “a must have item, they were garbage, absolute garbage! The worst footwear I have ever seen (and I’ve seen some pretty crap footwear, having lived in India for 5 years!🤣). I really pity the poor troops who had to wear these. I also have some Finnish Jack boots that are superbly made, night and day! Anyway, the disappointment of the boots really impacted my initial feelings on the poncho.
@@Reimerguns there are still a couple of sites that might get some here and there, but the prices are up now and their factories have different priorities now. But I like the lighter gorkas.
Interesting, if you like the ponchos look for the wilderness innovation poncho hammock; works really well as a hammock. I'm thinking that perhaps this russian poncho might work fine as a tarp for this poncho-hammock.
Another great product and review Jess, I managed to snag a GRU Poncho with the air bladders from Russian Cold Camo and one of their -18C Sleeping bags with a washable liner, both high quality versatile products. I will combine them with my Ratnik and Plashes to round out the kit. Thanks for the tip.
Just discovered your channel hope your well and having a good day. Awesome bit of kit multi purpose I really do think I will be purchasing this item soon. Thank you for your time have a blessed day 🙏👍😎👍
Looks great. As for recommend this poncho over all the others you've had, I just found one XL 110" X 55.5" and bought it. Thanks for introducing and comparing it for us to see.
Thanks. I really do like it. For the coverage it affords as a shelter and as a poncho, it is an excellent option. I still have an affinity for the older ponchos as well though.
Hi Jess .. Now that looks like a decent piece of gear .. and well thought out to boot 😊. Obviously, one loses the 'fire retardancy' of the Canvas Plash .. but then, in a Military application, 'sitting by an open fire' is not a first choice 😊. Some Useless Information .. now in the Summer Months .. and it's been a wet one so far, I'm starting to rethink on taking with me, a rain jacket when going out .. even to town. Am currently looking at, and testing, some lightweight reusable 'Emergency Ponchos'. They take up no space at all, are cooler to wear and if the little folding umbrella cannot hack it, are there when one needs ithem. A short length of cordage and a Toggle / Canadian Jam Knot takes care of the belt in windy conditions. Take care .. stay safe .. Tommy NB: I took a gander at that Exercise Link that you sent me. Definitely will look deeper .. thanks for that 👍.
Definitely need to look at one of these . I’ve shrunk / settled over the years but I still have couple of inches on you . Be nice to have something that fits . Thanks for the info. Have a good one
I had a dark green poncho my grandpops gave me many years ago and I always wondered what those rings were for. Never knew it had so many uses. Now I really wanna go get mine out of storage but I really like this XL Russian camo one u got. They are awesome for disappearin at night.
Hammer time. Very odd times indeed. Honestly, more concerned with the home team. The priorities seem to be making “safe”spaces for p dos and not offending anyone over their delusions.
Sit down...Cant recall where i read it but the book was describing indigenous people just lying down and sleeping right out in the elements. A poncho gives you shelter and against a good tree or comfortable indentation can make for a nice nap. Trash bag over your legs if you really want to be fancy and sprawl out completely. Im totally serious I fall asleep hunting like that every season. Some of my best naps have been just random spots along the trail. I do pack a 45 long colt if something wakes me rudely though.
Great reviews as usual. If you could only have one, vintage and modern, which would you choose (I'm only 5'8"). For tall guys like you it must be more challenging 👍
Thank you. Appreciate it. I have really been liking the Polish lavvu lately. The poncho is great. Modern, probably the jerven fjelduken hunter. It is super versatile, just not meant to be around fires. Cheers
I have to ask are these waterproof or only water resistant like the usgi ones made of nylon? The nylon ones are lighter but in prolonged heavy rain do soak through. The urethane coated ones like the old Swiss alpenflage ones are waterproof. I really like this one which is why I ask
This poncho is really nice. I use a set of gaiters with it to protect lower legs. The material used is a coated fabric with a rubberized underside that is seam sealed and taped. I haven’t had water come through the top, but during prolonged use, it does collect moisture on under side towards bottom. That being said, with pack on underneath, it holds it out away from body. Hands down, it is the best one I have used.
Endurance Room Bushcraft and Survival Yes, unless it's very windy, you want a poncho to be loose. That way the air can circulate and you won't get too much moisture build up. That's the advantage over a rain suit. What it looked like may be a problem is that folded up part on the bottom (for shorter people, could be something to get a foot caught in and trip over.
Mostly green canvas. Germany had some very advanced camouflage during this time. US Marines had some camo patterns used in the Pacific, similar to Duck Hunter camouflage.
Seems so. I got in touch with some surplus stores in Russia ... maybe I can get one into central Europe. If so I'll post a link 👍🏻 Keep up the good work, I really appreciate your opinion on certain tools and techniques!
Alright, I finally got one ... from Armenia though. I found it on Ebay, it is in perfect condition. It even had a paper sticker on it from the producer. The quality is awesome, the grommets are so wide that even thick pegs fit through and the length allows for endless shelter options. The only poncho that I found (and own) that comes close to that one is the Dutch army poncho. It's not as beautiful (really ugly DPM camo) but the size is great, too. Should try one in case you can get one to the U.S. Thanks again, great suggestions!
I just got my selfe the German one, the russian stuff is hard to get thees dasy in Germany ; ) it is fucked up hear , never war with Russia !!! Na ja, so I have to say , watch Endurance Room, never buy twiche ; ) Lol from Germany and a very good 2023. DeinStamm
I have a pretty extensive mil surp collection from all around the world and am proudly sponsored by a small family owned American company that specializes in Russian kit, which works incredibly well for the area I live in. Not to mention, if I wore US kit, some tool bag would be crying about stolen valor. If your level of awareness is the standard, no wonder we are in the shape we are. Do better.
@@williamvigil2951 Obviously, I don’t think its funny. Considering the current affairs, what you are “jokingly” implying is really not funny. What is funny, is that instead of apologizing for being an ass, you try and turn it around on me.

I like to use my Poncho with a good pair of Gore-Tex Gaiters, it’s a great combo.
I'm 6 ft and to finally see a " Now That's My Size Poncho " is Awesome. Going to check out the price. Thanks as always.
I will get one of these and try it in combination with the swagman roll.
I need this I’m 6,1 this is the best I’ve ever seen.
That is a sweet poncho for sure! I like that’s it’s a larger poncho, much more usable.
Cool, Thinking about it for next season kayak ultra light kit. Thx for the link to nice gear from our Rus brethren!
Love this channel
🏴 love from Scotland 🏴
Definitely a winner. The size would work well for me. Thanks, Jess.
Wow really great size poncho. I have two other ones so I'll have to find a place for this one. Maybe I'll give one away. Lol
I've used a rubber German poncho for years, seeing this I need to get one. Thanks
I got one of those it is huge hangs to the ground on me I love it I’m getting the rain coat poncho next
I like all the different gear from other countries you try out. It expands my options. Thank you.

I always remember ur first word tones "Gudeh"
I could see this replacing my shelter halves🤔
Pretty sweet man. I wonder it there's a way to set up a poncho shelter in the rain, without getting soaked
Sit down...Cant recall where i read it but the book was describing indigenous people just lying down and sleeping right out in the elements.
A poncho gives you shelter and against a good tree or comfortable indentation can make for a nice nap. Trash bag over your legs if you really want to be fancy and sprawl out completely.

I'm 5'10" and my USGI poncho just barely provides rain protection as a lean to.
Yep. These are pretty nice.
Lol, that was going to be my comment.👍👍. I have been looking for something like this for a long time.
Not as noisy as gore-tex👍
Interesting. When it's "hemmed up" does it feel like it would be fine for walking, of would it get in the way?
It was surprisingly good, A belt could be worn, but wasn’t necessary. The looser fit let it hang over and cover my boots.

They wanst that tall in ww2 that is The readon The soviet version is small but i like both of Them i Think a want one to
What is the jacket you are wearing in the beginning of the video? The one with the foliage loops? Thanks
It is jacket from Russian Sumrak suit. Really nice, light and breathable
Wonder what we're all the camo patterns that were on the poncho during ww2?
Mostly green canvas. Germany had some very advanced camouflage during this time. US Marines had some camo patterns used in the Pacific, similar to Duck Hunter camouflage.
Im really considering purchasing from Cold Camo. I live in Canada and they ship here at much lower price than Russia does. Do you have a dicount code?
They are great. I don’t, but I believe they have one on their website now for summer.
will this poncho lose waterproof-ness over time?
All poncho are wear items, doubly so for the newer synthetic material ponchos. That being said, this one is made very very well.
@@EnduranceRoom i suppose to be more specific, is it like "waterproof" gear that relies on regular reapplication of a DWR like compound?
Do you have any experience with Turkish military poncho???
I bought one and it is huge.
What confuses me is the placement of the grommets.
No, I haven’t personally. Which one is it, the one with the zipper or the one with the triangle ends?
!!!!!!!!!!!
How can I purchase this XL size poncho?
Russiancoldcamo.com
It may be out of stock. Just send them an email, they will try and help you out. Great ponchos.
Does it tear easily or is it more like a PVC or rubberized finish?
No, its a ripstop fabric that is coated and seams taped and sealed. Its nice
@@EnduranceRoom so sparks burn a hole in it?
@@awesomesongs9832 yes, it’s predominantly synthetic
Dude barely 3days and the particular poncho is Sold Out.
DAMN :-(.....
I know... small company. Send them an email. They can usually order whatever you need.
One question does the ratnik suit you have on have any waterproof qualities ?
No, it is quite breathable, making it suitable for warmer weather
@@EnduranceRoom ok great stuff thanks for reply. I'll be on the lookout for something that has some weather resistance 👍
