@tonyblocke61704 жыл бұрын
I did this configuration today (it was snowing on and off, in May!). The lower point into the wind. Note that since the poncho is rectangular, the shelter is asymetrical. I am only 5ft 7in and I pretty much filled the shelter. To stay out of heavy rain I might have to curl up a bit. I was able to use my stove inside the shelter since one can sit up at the high side. Good explanation and demonstration as always!

Great shelter option for the poncho. On all my hikes my poncho and woobie go into my pack along with other essentials. The Prusik knot is invaluable. On hammock trips I use a $3+ hank of rope from Walmart for a centerline with 550 Prusiks anchoring each tarp end on the centerline and, brother, they don't go anywhere, even in high winds. Great skills with the knots, Corporal! I sincerely hope you had a great Memorial Day and Happy Father's Day, too! From one veteran to another, thank you for your service.

Your instructions are clear, concise, and well documented with the video. You are an excellent teacher, sir.
