Oilcloth Poncho: Bushcraft, Survival, Traditional Camp Gear

[@sergbrock1907]

“Looking like a wild wizard” Hahaha! Dan, thanks for making your poncho’s hood a proper fit. And thanks for creating this item and making it available for us. Much appreciated!

[@edwardfletcher7790]

Oilcloth, old tech for the Win 👍

[@duybear4023]

I love ponchos though I use them as tents more often. My favorite is the Polish Lavvu.

[@kalstreksandtrails7606]

Good looking poncho. Was hoping you were going to set it up as an emergency shelter. Awesome video my friend

[@michalurbanful]

Seems to be well though-out and of a very good quality. I just wish it was longer, say under your knees minimum. Take care, Dan! :)

[@gringo3009]

Pretty slick!

[@mattshaffer5935]

I see what you did there!😂

[@joshh5336]

[@tomad4051]

So is the price 💸💸💸

[@holts9596]

Can we see it set up in a tarp shelter an then two of them put together as one

[@streeterboyzoutdoors]

Just got mine today 9-9-23 top quality gear worth every penny, im 5'10 250 plusish lol plenty big enough if i had to i could just hunker down in it through a rain and stay dry. Great made product Dan, thanks.

[@petezahrbock]

That poncho is awesome!!

[@johnperetore151]

Great move I love it. Probably order it soon. May want extra gromits

[@commonweakness9060]

Looks like a great item. And I'm digging your capri pants 😁

[@Canadian_Craftsman]

😂✊️🔥

[@peetsnort]

That's wierd. I just packed my oiled nylon army poncho for my trip to Greece. It does rain hard there. The best thing is that I just put it over the rucksack and my head and I'm good to walk

[@robertcole9391]

Hey Dan.... I know you like challenges. So, here's one for you. You've done a lot of videos with hunter/trapper etc... blah blah blah.. How about one with the persona of a civil war soldier toward the end? You got a horse, tack and a gum blanket/poncho, you choose, flour ration, a daily ration, and just go for it. How would you fare? Quite interesting in concept. Now those guys were survivalists. Every thought of challenging yourself on this level? Might want to pack a squirrel rifle. Would be an interesting episode to explore.

[@scuba5k]

I like your products. Not sure if it’s long enough for a 6” person. Sorry for being negative, I do love your channel

[@andrewcrowder6435]

Just got mine and I love it! Just can’t figure out how to pack it up

[@RAYANDERS-w4t]

THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@travelonward1811]

i live in florida and the islands of the antilles back and forwarth. our rain here is daily in the jungles and man it gets tiring haha. i'm going to purchase one of these. was even thinking of doing a small video on it and seeing if it can truly hold up. wish me luck!

[@travelonward1811]

I'm gonna do a follow up cause my order just got here and I have alot to say. There's alot of comments saying why buy this "expensive" item when normal ponchos exist. So here's real reasons from a Florida man who loves outdoors. 1.) this is actually the cheapest oilskin poncho I've found available on the us market by about 20-30 bucks. 2.) plastic ponchos use dwr spray, so if your looking for a bushcraft or bombproof option your kidding yourself with a modern poncho relying on chemical application 3.) I gave myself an unlimited budget on rain gear. I live in the tropics. Rains my life. I've tried every single rain item possible with all the money I could dump. They still rip to nothing most of the time in these forest haha. For 150 nothin will keep you safer while being dry. Try starting at 300 for serious rip stop goretex tech. 4.) this things made the right way. I just got through hurricane Debby. I help alot when the trees fall and need something to keep the wind and rain off my back. This 4 pound rain stopping monster of a poncho kept me doing my work without a second though. Don't sleep on a good poncho. In my environment this poncho is indispensable. Thanks for the good gear coal cracker !

[@Georgecobb-s1v]

Excellent presentation & excellent product, Dan! Several years ago my wife & I got open-front oilskin parkas for our 18th century re-enacting; but the garments do not have hoods & no means of fastening them together. We purchased ours through Tentsmiths; are they making yours for you? For practical purposes, your poncho would work better. Thanks for all your no-nonsense presentations. Although we are retired & on a fixed income, our oilskin parkas should last the rest of our lives. Our ages are 82 & 78. 'Blessings on you & yours.

[@jasongarling20]

That is amazing poncho!

[@quinntheeskimooutdoors6234]

😊looks good Dan😊

[@gator7095]

I would like to know if that material oil cloth ….is it suitable for hunting purposes meaning is it quiet in use in the woods in pursuit of deer 🦌?

[@ffaubert1]

Can you get a rucksack or backpack under it and still keep your backside covered?

[@mysgvus1]

What's wrong with looking like a wild wizard? seriously though, it's looks good and I need one of these!

[@CampbellMcArthur]

When are you going to make the grown up version?

[@rogueraven7603]

Very nice. Bet those will be hard to keep in stock.

[@georgerector9252]

I wish I lived where this was feasible, but in SE Texas it would only be good about teo weeks out of the year. Don’t get me wrong, I love oilcloth, just not to wear in my climate.

[@mendyviola]

Those 2 weeks in mid Feb. 😂

[@mikeplummer8904]

That looks great.

[@mendyviola]

I would welcome a good soaking rain right now. We are in an extreme drought here and under burn bans and water restrictions. 😢

[@baldrickthedungspreader3107]

Come over to the UK we've had nothing but rain this year

[@TheModularDiver]

Shoot, I love camping in the rain

[@Lettusfarm]

Could I use this as a hammock like my old military one? I love the design of these

[@jgurrea]

Does it have grommets or tie outs on the center seem in line with the hood so you can hang it in an A Frame configuration?

[@maureenschroeder104]

That's an awesome poncho. I sure could have used that this week while camping in the rain. Is there any chance you'll be making it in green like the oilcloth tarps you sell?

[@adamkippax4702]

I’ve ordered one today

[@jeromeknasinski3862]

I like it... Tell again why you cut your pants short. Please

[@davidyummus6259]

A Tie Loop would have been great on the top rear of the Hood to hold it up if you needed to use the Poncho as a Shelter,... That would keep the Hood up & open for ventilation.

[@edwardfletcher7790]

Just use a pebble 👍 A tie loop would tear in a couple of uses.

[@martinwild8424]

Good video got one German one canvas 👍💯👌✌️

[@markirish7599]

150$ is a little much tbh . Probably not for everyone but it's a lot to me . Still think this is a fantastic channel with great information. Maybe one day I will be able to buy and support your channel.

[@ChrisWilliam08]

Dang, I was really hoping to look lile a wizard

[@johnperetore151]

I just now went to your website, shelters, there is nothing about this poncho? I need to know price & specs and if you can add extra gromits? Cand you send me a link?

[@kennethwilson8633]

Another too small poncho tarp shelter??? If you are gonna carry gear make it fit. Have fun stay safe.

[@Shards-of-Narsil]

I like "wild wizards!"

[@ClintHollingsworth]

"You're not gonna look like some wizard." ... Oh.

[@ignaziodicolonia1002]

An additional poncho-liner wood be nice!

[@gerardvanengelen9001]

Nice 👍

[@sw33n3yto00]

Nice!

[@moorshound3243]

How does it compare to the old German army rubber poncho? So far i cannot find anything to best it?

[@robertbrannan9375]

Seems a tad smaller than trekker tarp. Esspeccially length wise.

[@ReiberJakobsson]

Needs to be longer

[@muzicgr8]

Where are your clothing items made?

[@i_am_a_freespirit]

Question...is it plastic or actual cloth? What type of cloth? I had ordered me a oil cloth hood via tent Smith, and the hood was made of plastic materials verses the small sample sheet they added (for future repairs?). That little sample felt like cloth compared with the Hood it felt different...like plastic.

[@super15071]

But I like looking like a wizard wandering the woods!

[@dylanvisitacion8618]

👍

[@hyperspacejester7377]

Do you have a wild wizard variant?

[@johnnydollarhide9466]

How small does this fold down?

[@johnsmithfakename8422]

Oilskin ... I know modern oilskin contains wax so that it does not drip all over the place but I still prefer waxed canvas over oilskin.

[@solodecora]

👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@aaronwilcox6417]

Size. How large are these?

[@billg7101]

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@Dreoilin]

Stop making cool stuff, I have 4 kids and they all want one too 😅

[@billg7101]

🇺🇸👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@boredradiosystem1727]

Good but £125 asking price is pretty silly

[@R.C.1161]

Toss a woobie under that...magic!!

[@modemode3663]

What If you want to look like a wizard

[@gerardmartyn1738]

You need to add a phone number for those of us who don't like to order on line. Great product 👌

[@5118eman]

Thanks, But no thanks Danny boy why would I buy your poncho in this day & age (money is in short supply) when I have the OneWind poncho for way-way less. But it does look nice just not for 150 Bucks
