more videos to come thanks for watching

Great video! Just a suggestion, I modified my poncho liner by threading 550 cord through tape liner at the head and foot ends. It allows for gathering the fabric and having cord to adjust the poncho liner to the hammock making a sort of cocoon. You can cut small holes in the corners and seal the cut fabric with a lighter. You can then thread the 550 cord through using a coat hanger. Best wishes for a better day and thanks for all your informative content!

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

Sounds great!

[@williamdroom5789]

If you use elastic cord you can run it over your ridge line and still use your bug net.

I've been using woobies for under and over quilts for years. I have always slept hot, so woobies will take me down to the mid 40's easily. They're light and compress well so they're easy to pack. I have several woobies in my gear collection, but two of they have been modified as under and over quilts. Thanks for the video Blackie, and for sharing your thoughts and ideas with us.

[@oldminer5387]

Thank you Blackie. Going to have to find a new poncho and liner to replace my old ones.

My pleasure!

Great idea, now I need one of those cargo net hammocks!

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

Go for it!

[@davidlee8551]

Excellent thoughts & clear demonstration! Thank you.

[@smoothvern165]

That worked really slick! Thanks for all of these excellent tips!

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

Glad it helped!

[@ericshaffer7088]

Thanks Blackie! Great video

[@FueltheFires]

Been running the poncho liner underquilt for many years- it’s a multipurpose item that that’s lighter, more compact and offers more function than the modern offerings.. It just makes sense!

[@johnthomasjr262]

Good video 👍

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

Thanks 👍

[@hiramhaji7813]

Great info

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

Thanks for watching!

[@zacharygirgenti3790]

Thanks for the demonstration man. This will definitely come in handy. I had been looking for one of these poncho liners and got lucky at the thrift store. Scored it for $3 so I'm stoked about it.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

No problem 👍

[@hagman1077]

Hello Blackie- Good knowledge and usage of a multi-purpose item. Having set-up in the ground, on the ground and above ground- I prefer to be above the ground, even if its just a few inches. Been bit a few times doing that ground stuff. Thanks for another video in this series, as I always look forward to them. You be careful out there in that southern heat- Carry On-

Thanks for sharing

[@Stryker176]

Great information. Appreciate you brother.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

Any time!

[@Stryker176]

I had the honor of meeting you at the Path Finder Gathering. I asked you a question and you took the time to give me a lesson. You are the real deal. I appreciate you brother.

[@ericcook8422]

I don't have a poncho liner nor under quilt. But I do know what it's like to wake up in a cold hammock. Appreciate your information.

[@smd482000]

Going try that good idea😊

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

Hope you like it!

[@zippitydoodah5693]

I love it! Clever tip, Blackie! Thanks!

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

Thank you! Cheers!

More hammock content please

[@woodrowbrimm2805]

If you turned the Poncho Liner Cross Corner instead you would gain a little more length and still have the other 2 corners to pull over you. If you have a second Poncho Liner you coule use it over the Top for a light wight Blanket.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

true

[@ReWyldOutdoors]

Great video brother! Ive done this very thing! It works great! Much less bulk than a dedicated underquilt! In general I want an air layer between myself and the underquilt but when it's just on the edge of underquilt temps, it doesn't make that much difference!!!

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

very true most time i am really just trying to slow the heat loss a bit if the temps drop to where i really need to hold the heat i will set it tighter to hold more

[@craigsawyer6453]

A true woodsman... Blackie knows his craft and is so good at spatial relations he always fins good camera angles and when he moves the camera he adjusts it once and its perfect the first time. That's a videographer with years of experience, not just a great woodsman.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

thank you very much

[@anoldmaninthewoods2548]

You forgot to mention it keeps the skeeters off your butt, too!

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

it does help

[@tenminutetokyo2643]

DOOD!

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

DUDE!!!

[@bretjohnson6188]

I always enjoy your content and knowledge, Blackie.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

thanks

[@kennethwilson8633]

Now you’re camping…No more ground stuff for me …Hammock or a cot or I’m not gonna do it…Too many years in a shelter half or poncho on the ground for me I’m retired. Been there done that. Only out for enjoyment these days nothing to prove.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

thanks for watching

[@MWoodslore]

I've done this Many times I sewed 3 large buttons on one side and three Paracord loops on opposite side.tie it in a plow point fashion.. Good video Blackie 👍

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

Great tip!

[@gregknight293]

Blackie , your tips and tricks are always very useful and practical . Much appreciated .

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

Glad you like them!

[@bryanfaulkenburg462]

I wonder how much warmth a person could add if they added an emergency space blanket in between the liner and hammock. Somewhat like a ranger roll.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

a good deal

[@bensummerhill8771]

When you are in the hammock you can tie the two sides of the poncho liner together. You have a tie on each side of the poncho liner, making a cocoon.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

correct

[@Edwardford123]

Thanks so much, Blackie. Great idea.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

You are so welcome

[@Kasofalltrades]

Great information Sir! The newer poncho liners zip up like a sleeping bag and have two zipper pulls so I can open the foot end and pull it over me in my hammock like a sleeve. I'm out here in the Sonoran Desert and it's too hot to camp right now so I can't wait till it starts to cool off a bit.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

Sounds great!

[@james_lessick892]

Great use of a Poncho Liner, very useful kit. Thanks again.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

You are welcome!

[@pemekd6369]

Hi, can I ask about something that bothers me for some time? 1 I want to make my sleeping bag warmer using a wool blanket - is it better to cover the whole outside of sleeping bag or to wrap myself in the blanket before going into the sleeping bag? which way gives me more warmth and why? or it doesn't make any difference? 2 I saw a video of carrying tomahawk head separately and attaching the handle in the field, the handle was straight and head was attached (sliding) from the bottom to top. it was attached without the wedge like it's in my axe. Is it possible to do that for regular hand axe head, would it work? ( small axe, 400gr)

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

1 it is better to wrap outside the inside of the bag will bind up on you and you will not be able to shift and move around in the night plus its pockets of trapped warm air around you that helps keep you warm but wrapping the blanket outside your just helping to keep the warmth you have created from getting away. 2 a regular axe head is wedged down from the top of the handle and will slide back off when you swing it unless it is attached some way a tomahawk is friction fit of the heat up the handle and the very top of the handle is too big to fit thru the eye so the harder you swing the tighter the head gets on the handle

[@pemekd6369]

@@BLACKIETHOMAS Thank you!

[@crookedtool]

Why not instead use it on the inside as a regular sleeping bag? What's the advantage to having it underneath? Excellent info in all your videos, by the way.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

in a hammock you have to put it under the hammock if you put in inside you will crush in down and not get warmth from it

[@crookedtool]

@@BLACKIETHOMAS Ah,I see. Now that I think about it, I may have heard you or Dave C talk about the air gap as insulation as well. Thanks for answering that.

[@karolmorys7970]

Hello i have question about black powder will 4mm star caper be good for remington nr 10 caps?

[@ianmurray4081]

I’ve done this for years. I usually use a tarp under the set up is there’s heavy rain expected. I’ve also used the net hammock as a gear storage area for inclement weather camps.

[@danieljones2183]

Awesome, I'm lovin' it!

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

Glad to hear it!

Great trick.
