Wearable Poncho Shelter - A Mistake in Heavy Rain?

[@xaraxania]

Andy's next camping adventure, " lets sleep under a postage stamp and see how it holds up in a heavy rainstorm! " haha

Well, I was right, unfortunately, sorry you had to pack out to the car but at least the car was watertight! You're definitely a trooper!!! All hail, King of the Intrepid Campers!!!

[@jmfarouche6688]

I think you should do a video of taking all the gear home and how you clean, dry and repackage everything- and what do you do with all the gear you try out then have to store or dispose of? Cheers 😂

[@To-Lo77]

I wonder what his garage OR soon to be warehouse 😂 will look like if Andy continues to add to his arsenal of camping goods. Based on what we see, he can open a 2nd hand store to recoup some $ he’s spent over the years on equipment. He can also hold “outdoor classes” for people getting into this style of outdoor fun/life OR, possibly have short day trips for adults, parents/kids, etc., to introduce them to it and show them what they would need, hands on. They can use the equipment for the trip that day & have a hands on learning experience. I know speaking from experience, I do better & appreciate things more when I can personally interact with things myself. If you provide a tent & stove, sleeping items - basic amenities to get thru the night, there’s a better understanding & more knowledge for someone to totally understand what’s needed to get started. Sorry to be long winded with this - just putting something out there that may be beneficial to some families, kids, parents or just people in general, like myself that need something more in their life to keep pushing through & forward. No matter the age we are, we ALL have a life ahead of us until our time is up! Until that time comes, we shouldn’t stop if we don’t have to & CAN continue to keep going. Sooooo many people give up towards the end of their life or after a bad encounter with life - medically, physically ,emotionally or even spiritually. I do understand & have been there and truthfully, still there somewhat. But at the end of each day, we need to STOP, just appreciate how lucky we really are to be alive, living this life rather than others in other parts of the world. Take care everyone. God bless. 👊

We made poncho hooches in Vietnam. We made them flat instead of like your lean-to. Supported them on all four corners and tied off the head space and made that the center or ridge and tied that off overhead also. Most of the time it was okay. But when it rained hard we got wet like you did. So all us old vets can relate to your experience and discomfort Andy. Good video all the same! Thanks. 👍

Great Video Andy, I'm starting my own channel inspired by individuals as you're self, Whipple's Outdoors I'll have my first video out in a couple of weeks, starting of with some new gear, inflatable tent, and will test it out for my first video.

I assume he would have been better off if he'd at least mounted the thing lower. Corporal's Corner has done something similar in the past and he always had it up against something solid, and way down low.

Well, finally a video showing what camping is REALLY like! Now, this is what I am used to, whether I'm camping or not. Welcome to Murphy's Constitutional Law. Yes...Home, hose down the muddy stuff...take a hot shower...have food delivered...wrap up in your favorite blanket and put on your favorite movie. Also, rest in the knowledge that your fans here on KZbin appreciate you for putting up with rain, mud and lack of sleep, so we don't have to. Love you, Andy!!!

[@PatriciaBurns-ym4wo]

Agree 💯🤗

[@scottrok13]

In basic training back in the day, although we were using two shelter halves together ,we placed a little dirt around the side edges of the tents, not the opening, then entrenched mini moats around each tent for water to runoff, where we would create a single trench connecting channel to the next tent’s moat, creating a series of “figure 8” Moats running down the slope of the hill, hopefully no water getting in the tents🎉

[@jamesellsworth9673]

Alas, today's eco-community frowns on entrenching. But Andy has a dedicated woodland so other later visitors would not be disadvantaged.

[@whitediggity]

I used the shelter halves too lol they were…not great.

[@braveheart196]

Good shout that

[@DoubleWhammy]

​@@jamesellsworth9673 They're far too worried about minor things. A small trench won't end the world or destroy the migratory patterns of the European flying sloth beetle. Respecting the environment is critical, but being a weirdo about it is just goofy.

You are such a a great guy to watch, this very old Girl Scout Leader and camper says that tarp will not be enough in a heavy rain, old shower curtains to the rescue in my day. The best times of my life was camping with friends when we were young. It always rained whenever I visited the UK, I did experience snow, rain and warm sun in one day there.

When on manoeuvres in the 1970s part of our kit was a cape that acted as a rain coat and shelter at night , not the most comfortable of nights no sleeping bags, just a blanket and your clothes.

That kind of rain storm is miserable and I try my best to get the hell out of. My feet get wet and cold I’m done for. You are a real trooper Andy. Better luck next time!

[@davidf4897]

I have a Helikon Tex version of this poncho. Primarily its for keeping off the rain and works really well. In an emergency as a shelter, it should be ok but you're lucky if its rainproof in heavy rain. Rare to pitch it as you did in the military. Bottom line, in the field you made your poncho work for you depending on field conditions, but to expect you would be warm and dry after walking all day in the rain wearing the same poncho and try and pitch it in the field while the rain still comes down . That's another story. Then pack up and do it all again the next morning. Light a fire! Bless the boy.

[@Andrewoutdooradventures1550]

Great poncho shelter camp setup wind or rain Andy is always in great spirits and cheerful

[@BearPawMtnMan]

Ex US Cavalry Scout. We used the poncho for a shelter with a body bag for a bivvie. We would set them up in a diamond setup. Two sides on the ground with the corner being the far end. Diagonal gives you more coverage. Point the ground end into the wind.

[@richardbodor3318]

I have spent 3 nights in a poncho pup tent (two ponchoes snapped together) but had to share with another soldier. It rained the last night and was miserable. The first two nights were fantastic either your feet or your head open to the stars! But night 3 was a soaking mess. Watching you suffer really took me back :D Thanks for the great videos 👍

[@PISQUEFrancis]

I went camping about a week ago ... first time since the 1970's(college) ... in a lean-to similar to yours, no rain, and about 60 degrees ... PERFECT! Perfect, until I had to get up ... found it not easy at 74 with a twice fractured back and two hips that need replaced. I was a surveyor for over 40 years, and hauling 25-30 pounds over might right shoulder gave me many memories of pain. Then I tried a 6 person tend ... large, with no room to stand up and doors that forced me to crawl out ... I want a tent I can "walk", into, and a bed I can fall out of .... Otherwise the camping was fun ... and I was inspired by your videos ... thanks ...

[@marksadventures3889]

I've done this but much lower to the ground, just able to get under there, low profile. I put a run off trench around the edge, it doesn't harm nature and keep the rain out of your camp and if your on stag for 18 hours or so you need to keep warm and dry. You'll be fine.

[@lmaoroflcopter]

What a natural progression of techniques and its great to see. Did a lean-to Lowered the front Built a fire Built a windbreak/reflector Raised the rear Okay not a perfect shelter and less than ideal conditions but it really shows how if you keep your head about you, you can improve your comfort and safety. Can you imagine if you did none of those things? I really liked this video as it showed someone naturally looking at their camp over time and applying small changes to improve their situation. Rather than say someone just building the perfect camp or working to a strict plan.

I've got a poncho recently the same as yours, and took it out last weekend. It was windy, luckily no rain, and I also had a bivvy bag and sleeping bag.

also if you don't set it up in a pit (which will fill with mud) it looked like you could have set it up a few feet away from where the fire was on a small rise instead of a depression used the terrain better instead of out in the open you would have solved all of those problems. you had plenty of cordage and a forest full of sticks and logs, you could have been way more comfortable, looks like user error.
