I carry mine every time I fly anywhere. I sleep on the airplane with it, I've used it to bed down my kids if we were delayed, now I do it with my grandkids. I rarely travel without one. Top advice as always sir. Thank you.
It is my understanding that when you run a double fly like you mentioned, it is best to have 5 or 6 inches between the two layers. That is supposed to give you the best cooling action supposedly.
Great video, Military poncho prices now suck. I bought Army ponchos for our bug out bags and paid $20.-25.00 each(eBay). I was going to buy them for a few vehicle get home bags but the prices have skyrocketed up to $30.00+. The Chinese have took over and you can buy there inferior ponchos for around $11.00. I think I will stick with the .99c disposable ponchos for the get home bags. They are lighter anyways.
Thank you for the tips! I want to save up and get one of the woobies that Shawn Kelly just did a review on. I forget the name of it right off but it's on Corporal's Corner RU-vid channel. Some great ideas here Blackie!
Seems good, but why not just make a small trench with a small fire in it (like a Zippo with the flame lit) & sit with both legs bent next to it to make walls & wrap the blanket around that (doubled or not)?
great tips, i have a couple of these and use them for all sorts of things, (a common one is a sleep mat) i was thinking of adding a neck hole to wear it with my poncho,
I have an army Cold Weather Field, Woodland Camouflage hooded jacket made by John Ownbey Company. I paid less than $20 for it. There's a row of buttons on the inside on both sides & 2 below the collar. Is there a liner or something that goes with the jacket? In the collar is a series of button holes and a couple of velcro strips around the hood zipper. What are those for? It's in really good shape and I cleaned up all the loose threads without getting too close to the material. What's the best way to waterproof the material?
yes the buttons are for the army issue liner the holes in colllar are for a large parka like fur lined hood to button on.. the best way i have found to water proof is the spray (orange cap) in sporting goods in walmart is a spray silicone and does a good job it will bead water when done right
