- Sometimes your only choice of a campsite isn't ideal, and you have to improvise some of the basics. In this video, Jason Salyer shows you how to use a pole, a bit of cordage, and a poncho to efficiently rig up a shelter regardless of available anchor points.
Jason also has plenty of tips to make your shelter setup quick and easy. It's incredible how quickly a storm can pop up, and when that happens, you don't want to waste time fumbling with cordage and knots.
The poncho is a required piece of gear since it can be pressed into duty to fill a variety of needs. Obviously, as rain gear, a shelter, a bivy, a portion of an improvised pack, a mattress, and the list goes on and on.

Quick and simple video, not a lot of fluff. Reminds us that we needn’t overthink things, thanks lots. Too many times a video drags on, not most of yours!
Good timing on poncho content sir. I've seen rain probably 5 of the last 7 days. Always informative sir.👍
Good to hear
Thank you. I love my poncho and wooby
It's a great piece of gear to have around!
It's always stinking hot in northern Australia - so thank you for the tip. I have a tarp in my bob but I've never set it up. There's always a stick around, so thanks heaps for this video.
You are welcome!!
Fantastic vid man. I've watched a lot of survival vids but I love how real, to the point and informational you are
I really enjoy your videos. I'm a huge poncho enthusiast. Keep'em coming brother!
Glad I found this channel, used to watch you on the other one. Keep it up
Welcome aboard!
I love the plow point/diamond shelter configuration, I like the knots/loops. Great vid!
See ya on the next one
Love it, I have one of these Ponchos in my EDC bag
It's a great piece of multipurpose gear.
Quick and efficient. Deflects wind. I generally roll into my Poncho Shelter so A shorter stick means lower profile in stealth situations. About 50% of the time I use at least one inside tent height adjuster height stick. Another tool in toolbox! THX!
I especially liked putting the short stick under the hood to raise the roof. No need to put another tie out stick on the exterior.
I use that paracord method for all my tarp camping i was taught it in the army they called it jungle knots.
You simply wrap it round a tree and push one of the knots through the gap in the paracord and thats it tarp secured now just stake out the orher end and shelter finished, i can setup a tarp quickly like this in under 2 minutes great when its raining
Nice job on both shelters. In my area the 1-pole shelter is often called a Diamond Shelter or Plow-point Shelter. I agree with an earlier comment that the prop stick inside the sheltyer can be removed by using a tie-out cord on the poncho hood on the outside. Thanks.
What a great simple shelter
Thx for the video
Thanks for watching friends! Like, subscribe, share. Much appreciated!
Great stuff, and simple, too. Thanks
Good clear instructions. Thanks
Great video really liked it 👍🏻
i always have a wilderness innovations poncho with me because it can be used as a hammock also, it has channeled ends so it can be easily made into a hammock i really like how versatile it is.
SHEER BRILIANCE!
This is awesome. Straight forward, no complicated BS. Love it
Simple and effective
Can you send link for the trcoutdoors guideline thing can’t find it thanks 😊
Is this a rectangular poncho or a square one? Thanks
Lots a comments. Lots a comments.
Rather than limiting your usable space beneath the shelter (with the extra stick), maybe tie off the poncho hood and stake the line for a similar effect.
😂😂😂2:41.... No you didn't say that right there hahaha. Nowadays when everything you say is an "insult" to one group or another you gotta be careful my friend 😂😂😂😂
Thank you for showing the knot in slow motion.
Could you share the product link for the poncho? Thank you.
I think the one in this video is a military surplus
Algorithmic enhancement lol

Nice video but that’s not a knife….Have fun stay safe.
Why do you feel the need to place a snarky comment on every video?
@@bobbys1308 it was a well meaning joke I also told you to have fun and stay safe…you need to get comments for your UA-cam standing. Sorry you didn’t understand that there was no I’ll intent…
@@kennethwilson8633 My bad. I just saw a few of your comments under other posts and assumed the worst. It's hard to tell sarcasm or intent through text. Have a nice day, my apologies
@@bobbys1308 you are gonna need thicker skin to be on UA-cam…I hope you do well. Good luck
Obviously, one would use a poncho in summer as any other season - because it RAINS. What the blazes is wrong with you. I don’t limit myself to my area, another state or other country. I wear my DIY Anorak and over-pants, breathable, wind and water repellent/proofed. Combined weight = 6.8 oz. For shelter, I use my DIY Dyneema floorless 4.7 oz tent. You’re living in the past.
Ponchos are not practical as a weather cover or a tarp. Why? As a poncho to wear for weather, it is waterproof and worn in warm weather you will sweat. It flaps in the wind - annoying and easily gets caught on brush. As a tarp it is too small for adequate coverage from wind, cold wind, rain, snow and critters. A breathable, wind, water resistant/waterproof Anorak/Jacket suffices for weather protection eliminating the issues of excessive heat and normal elimination from brush damage and wind annoyance. An adequately sized tarp or low weight/volume tent is suitable for coverage from the listed negatives.
You typed a whole lot of words to be completely wrong lol ponchos are great shelter. I don’t carry a tent or sleeping bag unless it’s a snowy environment
@@eddiekane1202 The French have a saying "À chacun ses goûts" - To Each His Own. Worn as a poncho in Summer, you will swelter. Near thorny brush it will get caught and damaged, flays in the wind and doesn't protect your legs from rain and snow. As a shelter, they are too small and open to the environment, not capable of protecting one from the wind, cold wind, cold air, rain, snow and critters, ground type and flying.
@@ulperformance4087 why would you wear it in the summer? I use bug netting to keep out any unwanted friends. I live in the PNW where rain and wind are no stranger and a poncho shelter works just fine
@@ulperformance4087if it's a summer shower and it's warm I don't care because I'll dry out. The wind flapping the poncho is what cools you. The fact there's so much ventilation means you have air flow and cool off. I camp with a British bivi. I only need a poncho for head cover
It obviously depends on the temp. and if there’s a wind to mitigate the heat.
