    A few years ago, before Beautiful Daughter discovered boys, we were practicing improvised shelters on the front veranda. She was thinking, fire up a mosquito coil, spread her sleeping pad and good to go. I pointed out some nasty clouds and there was some rumbling in the eastern sky. I suggested the large diameter bamboo pole leaning against a wall and the old inflatable swimming pool for a quick shelter. When the driving rain from the east blew in pelting one side of the shelter, I poked my head under to see BD bathed in the soft glow of a chemlight reading phone messages and sending details of her shelter to school mates. She quickly learned the value of a dry place to sleep thanks to a simple shelter.

    i grew up in western Oregon, we had a saying that only fools and tourist believed the weather forecast. Here in AZ the weather swing 40 degrees between high and low, a quick shelter from a tarp can give you shade in the day time and help you stay warm at night.

    Training at Pohakuloa on the big island of Hawaii in the early 90's. MOPP4 in 80-90 degrees during the day dropped our packs and MOPP gear to step into the attack. Night fell at 8500 ft in sweat-soaked utilities and underwear. Gear never caught up to us, we Damm near froze to death (30-35 degrees)😬 on the side of the mountain. Butt pack included dry socks and underwear, a towel, and poncho/poncho liner on the outside from that point on. Great class on how to make the ridgeline work with the poncho. Semper Fi

    That last one, the burrito or ranger roll, is why I carry a poncho AND a tarp. Poncho to cover él jefe máximo, and tarp to cover the pack. I know the poncho can cover both, but I like the flexibility of being able to drop the pack without sacrificing rain cover and camo cover.

    I have spent 2 years in a poncho shelter over my career in the army. And the little trick with the sticks through the loop of the string was brilliant. I am definitely going to teach this to my conscripts. As someone else in the comment section said "You never know what you need before you are in it." Resourcefulles comes with experience.

    Another advantage of a tarp: If there is frost overnight, the frost will be on your tarp instead of your sleeping bag or blanket. There may be some frost from breathing but that will be localized.

I never leave comments on UA-cam, but I decided to do so because I recently flew from the US to Europe and my flight was delayed for 5 hours. I always have a few essential things for traveling in my bag and one of them is the emergency poncho that I recently ordered on Amazon, AZengear brand if I'm not mistaken. In general, this thing really saved me!! I was warm all night thanks to one small poncho. So I just couldn't pass by and not recommend it to you!🔥

    Simplicity's is the key. I've always love a "sleep and go" minimal approach to camping like Corporal here, but my extended family are not into camping and don't know much about gears, so I ended up carrying all the resting/lying systems every time we're out in the park or the like. We just went cherry picking, and I packed 1ground tarp, 3 hammocks, 2 skeeping pads, and a cot, but I still ended up sitting on a cherry tree. 😮😅

    I don't know if it's in business anymore but several years ago I ordered "Ranger Rick's Poncho Liner Conversion Kit" which consisted of 2 zippers. The long zipper was sewn in along the edge of the poncho liner so that it could be zipped up like a sleeping bag. The short zipper was sewn into the middle of the poncho liner to create an opening for the hood so that the poncho and liner could be worn together or separately, and still closed up when used as a blanket or sleeping bag. I still use mine and keep it folded up at the foot of my bed, along with a couple of wool army blankets when I'm home.

    Depending upon the humidity and the temperature, on some occasions, I've found myself soaking wet while wearing a poncho.
    Not from rainfall, but from sweating from the heat and humidity, and the poncho not being "breathable".
    Every situation is different.

    Don't know about anybody else, but I value your opinion. I like the "bat wing". Anyone that lives anywhere other than the desert, experiences "dew". Walk in the grass on a cool morning. You have to turn on your wipers too clear the dew off so you can drive. Without the poncho or tarp over you, you wear that dew on you. Another good one. Thanks.
