I served alongside bootnecks in Helmand as a young US Marine! Having worked with Royal Marines, ROK Marines, Thai, Mexican and Philippine Marines, it really does seem like Marines worldwide have a particular sense of fraternity. Being in the AF Reserve now, it isn't the same. Small wonder we seem to be attracted to similar occupations when we leave the service! Cheers, bootneck!

Hi, I'm ex Army (Inf then AGC) and just touching 61 so old school 58 pattern poncho myself. Its used as a backup or as a ground sheet but its also part of my wet weather gear; use a DD 3x3m tarp as my primary. Was thinking of getting 2 IRP kits and sewing them together and then putting grommets in multiple around the outside (corners and along sides) thereby giving me a approx 10'x 7' tarp for about £20.

Dutch army hooped Bivvy is a decent alternative to that OEX one, though the Carinthia-made versions can be expensive. The Fecsa-made versions can be bought for around 100 quid, but they are known to occasionally have dodgy zips.

Have a Terra Nova Jupiter bivvy. Used it in UK in Autumn, Spring, Summer. In pouring rain, dense cloud in Lakes and fairly brisk temperatures. Never had a single drop of moisture overnight, zero condensation. OK it's expensive. But worth it in my opinion. As an aside I seriously hope this proliferation of outdoors advice following Covid Open Up does not end up with less tolerance to wild camping. Tips: Leave nothing behind. Be stealthy as possible. Aim never to be seen or heard, on your way in or out of camp. And please, if you do find somewhere that makes a great base camp, don't make a video about it and put it on RU-vid!

Deploying a tarp (or a tent, for that matter) over a ditch might be ok in a desert, but in normal tropical weather you WILL end up pickled in a rain. The ideal sleeping spot is a mellow hump that prevents water from getting near you in the first place.

Thanks for a good video. I tried the Salamander bivi tent last year, I do not understand why the entry zip is horizontal - when you open the door the rain falls straight on the groundsheet. If the zip where vertical - as it is for most?? other designs - then you could open the door a bit for ventilation & not let the rain in so much, especially if there is a generous flap over the door. The pole for mine seemed too long for the sleeve, and I broke the pole on first use in the wild. On top of a hill. I got quite wet that night.

it probably works because you are intaking new information that you are interested in, and your brain has to process all that, which causes sedation afterwards, and lying down reinforces it by your body slowing down and sending signals to the brain that it's time to rest. i figured this out after 20 years chronic insomnia

As an American veteran I want to thank you for your service. I was very fortunate to have served in your country twice, total of nearly eight years. My wife and three children were all born in Chelmsford. I worked alongside RAF fellas who used to "drag" me to the local pubs...what great times! Although I have tents, I prefer to hammock camp with tarps including a 3mX3m DD tarp, my favorite. I usually set up one side as an awning with the backside protecting me from the wind. While stationed in the UK, I often camped and fished all night with my kids. We used a white parachute one of my mates gave me and it covered a huge area. My twin boys usually invited their school mates with them and the 'chute would shelter me and six kids. However, by the evening the white parachute was nearly black with all of the insects that were not invited. Anyway, thank you for showing some of the shelters used by campers. I love to stealth camp now as the nearby state park has been closed due to the health climate. So I use the DD tarp (dark camo version) as low to the ground as possible or shelter under huge fallen trees with the tarp set up on the windward side.

I've used tarp tensioners for decades and you can get your tarp taut, and it will stay that way through storms. I have a couple videos on how to make them. The simplest version is just to use shock cord loops at each tie out point. 1 to 4 loops depending on how windy, I just larks head them on as needed. With tensioners, the wind blows and the tensioner flexes and then returns back to taut. Have a great day

In Australia a "Poncho" is something that you can throw over the top to keep you and your gear dry, generally with a hood in the centre and can be used as a shelter. We call the 2.6 x 2.3m tarp shown a "hutchie" (pronounced hootchy). I would prefer to put an inflatable sleeping mat inside the pack. Nothing worse than getting to camp and finding your sleeping mat has been holed by a thorn or bramble along the way.

The badger has a flysheet if required, although not sure you'll find me using it on the side of a UK hillside in winter. Anyone who can deploy and repack a festival tent is a top bloke. Enhoyed the video and like hearing your tips, sometimes it's a reminder of skills parked out of sight in the old grey matter other times it's a new idea to try out. All the best.

Unfortunately, you can't snap BASHAs together,like you can with hootchies. Disappointingly, hootchies can't be employed immediately for use as a litter / stretcher because they don't have carry handles sewn into the reinforced seams like BASHAs do.

I used to have a bivy tent similar to the one you showed first. Except with a separate rain fly. Yes, not only "snug" but the reason I tossed it is because of the way the door opens. To the sky. So, anything falling, including rain, will immediately get on your head rest area.

I also found that though it was a bit spacious come morning after sleeping inside with my wife the condensation made everything damp and cold. We woke that morning of what was supposed to be a 3 day weekend bikers rally with some close friends and just packed up and drove the 65 miles back home. That tent ruined what was supposed to be a relaxing getaway filled with live bands crazy bikers activities and a lot of alcohol, just what I needed after my third cycle of chemotherapy.

If in hot countries, the flysheet can be used as a tarp for shade, but tarps useless at keeping out insects, dust, and above all wind chill. Any challengers? Come join me in stormy N Wales or Scotland in Winter, tarp vs tent, let's see who gives in first.

I'm gonna be picky here, a Poncho has a hole in the middle for the head to poke through, ask a Mexican, a Basha is a military term for a sheet of material that can be used in many configurations to provide a shelter from the weather. I like the hooped bivi, I have a double hooped GoreTex bivi bag which I use in conjunction with a DPM Basha for woodland, I took the grab handles off the basha so it's a bit lighter and packs a bit easier, I use my 4x3 tarp for hammocking and occasionally I use my Terra Nova Solar 1 tent for hikes like Hadrians Wall and a bigger tent with separate sleeping / living quarters for the wife and I, the kids are now in their 20's so they don't partake no more, but the hooped bivi and basha is what I prefer to use.

I have the Terra Nova version of the first one, mine’s described as a bivvy and that’s what I bought it as, my one man tent, also Terra Nova, is bigger and more spacious?

When me and my daughter went camping the other week, she had a green pop up tent. She looked like a ninja turtle with it strapped to her rucksack 😃😃😃😃

its not a poncho, a poncho can be worn, like a polish lavvu or german zeltbahn, its a basha because it serves only the one purpose.

You really need camo stuff in the Nederland because you can’t sleep in a forest only on camping grounds

A camel spider came over his face? That’s disturbing to put it mildly!

Another great video, thank you. Q: does the poncho have a simple slit in the middle?

ah - pop up tents... Back in the day when they were a complete novelty my brother was camping and hang-gliding with mates - one of whom had one of these pop-ups. After boring them all with how wonderful it was everyone went to bed. In the night a storm came in ( if your hang gliding you tend to set up camp in more unusual places than most, apparently!). People were woken by sounds over the wind of 'SLAP' 'nuf nuf nuf' repeated for some time. Turns out the pop up tent was collapsing on the chap with the Sind and the 'nuf nuf nuf' was him been woken before popping his tent back up. Needless to say, he was found asleep in his car in the morning............ I believe he went and bought himself a new tent as soon as he could.

I had a 2 person tent ,similar to the coffen. Plenty room for two and our gear. It also had vents in the tent top with a fly sheet.
