Ive purchased many pans over the years and this has been the very best pan. Heats up fast, holds even heat, cooks real well and cleans up beautifully. I wish they had one a tad larger as well. Not to knock this size because I need it, just love the pan so much that one larger would be great as well. Ive used this little pan at home many times as well because I like it so much. Ive had mine for almost 4 years now, as good as new.

hows the performance of the zippers in the gear after dyeing? my main concern is that after being exposed to so much heat the plastic hardware might get weakened

I tried a OCP medium ruck wasit belt on my alice ruck and it fits way better than the large ruck waist pack. However the large is way more comfortable to use.

Good video. I’m going to have to try this out.

So that’s great. How much does this system weigh being an ultralight backpacker looks like something quick and easy to put up I like hiking long distance. I generally try to use shelters whenever I can but sometimes they’re sometimes you don’t make it and you need an expedient shelter to put up to get out of the weather.

As usual, very professional, great presentation style, like the long conversational approach, great detailed demo, well done!!! Keep up the great work! Greetings from SA

Love this one - the concepts and the humour 😂. But I did learn a something so nice one 👍 Also takes me back 35 years when I travelled all over Europe on my local leave (Army Leave but you don’t head back to UK for it) I travelled all around Europe using just a Civy Pack and my Army Poncho and Roll mat to sleep under where ever I found somewhere.

I absolutely agree with you about wearing camouflage clothing. I want to see wild life. The deer wear camouflage and can't be seen until they move. I move through the forest so quiet they don't know I'm there and I don't break ferns, etc. Stealth is how I operate. Also, my tent is camouflage and all my gear is earth tones. I want to disappear in the forest, especially these days with 2 footed predators out there more than ever. Every other week for the past 3 years, I stealth wild camped where no-one else goes to practice my bug out skills. My BOB has no electronics, except for headlamp and flashlight. Tech adds weight and I'd rather carry that weight in food and water. I am already mentally in the 1800's, so when something happens to put us back there, I'm comfortable with it. I actually prefer it! At first, I carried a NOAA weather radio, but I became do sensitive to the change in pressure and other cues that I can feel when a storm is approaching. I generally get about 5-10 minutes notice to put things put away and take cover. I carry a compass, but I've learned to navigate without it, if need be. Now I understand what it means "skills weigh less". :) I prefer carved oak stakes I make myself over titanium/aluminum takes in very rocky forest soil because they stay in better.

Great video pal. I run the multi cam molle 2 packs myself as well. On my assault pack I run the but pack and if it moves around on me to much or it seems to be “flappy” I use the two main straps of the pack to wrap up underneath the but pack. It pulls it up closer to the pack and seems to steady it better. I also run two sustainment pouches on both sides of my assault pack. It really makes the pack that much more versatile. Definitely worth a try if you have a couple laying around. I just ordered my poncho poles today after waiting a few months for them to be back in stock. I have a Arcturus poncho and I was wondering how well these poles would work with it. You wouldn’t happen to have any insight would you

Glad to see you posting! I hope all is well.

Hi there, I'm across the pond here in the UK. an interesting video. Surely this is a small emergency shelter only. Please check out the British Army Basha with basha poles. the basha weighs 2 pounds but is unbelievable quality. It is also twice the size 8ft4 X 7ft approx. Its adaptability with tie outs and grommits is worth the extra weight. The downside is it does not have a hood. the other bonus is the price. Army surplus $40 Poles (opptional) $25.

Excellent video BooneDockery. Slept under a Poncho Hooch many hundreds of times, wish I had that setup back in the late '70's and '80's, Thank You Sir!

👍!

If you use fuel tabs like esbit or twigs, you wouldn't have had such a hard time.

My mixture did not gel! I tried it twice. I used MS Finechem 99 calcium acetate from amazon, and I used clean strip denatured alcohol from Ace Hardware. Anyone have this problem or know what I did wrong? I tried it twice with the directions above. Does anyone have a weight for the amount of calcium acetate in grams instead of a volume measurement in case the powder is not packed enough? Thanks,

Have you tried the crossbar’s with your Wilderness Innovations poncho? Perry sells a set of bars for the WI setup but just wondering if those would work. Walking around with that Alpha setup at the end was hilarious, ready for any emergency 😂.

I wonder if Dave developed this from using it as a sniper ?

Great review! Something Dave didn't mention is that these can be used to hide your heat signature as well. Using a non-flective camouflage poncho, with the space blanket can give you protection against both night vision and your thermal signature. It is quick deploying and can break up the bodies outline, keeping the heat dispersement low to the ground. The dual sided reflective nature of the space blanket is advantageous. However, a venting process is needed as eventually the space blanket and poncho can heat up. The use of bushes and / or, leaves can be helpful. There is a way to long gate the poncho shelter, I should probably do a video on it. I uses these as my go to shelters from FTX to dualsport, hunting, edc bag, you name it. I do recommend a pole repair sleeve, although the Ten-C's has got you covered. Great video, thanks for sharing.

Wilderness Inovation has been doing this for years.

Great video. I made this with Amazon tent poles about a week before Pathfinder came out with this kit. If I'd only known. Ha ha. Started with just the space blanket. Worked kinda, but in the end I use the same set up you have here. Thanks again.

LMAO at the end. Big John! You kill me, man! Hey, I was wondering if you tried attaching the pathfinder poles directly to the reflective tarp without the poncho. It seems to me like it would work, and in that case, I would just keep the two of those together because, like you, I like to have my poncho for rain at all costs. Another thing I have a question about, and please correct me if I am wrong: It seems to me like I would want to position myself with the shorter ends of the poles towards my head so that the poles bow up more in the shoulder area rather than towards my legs. I say that because when having the whole thing atop me in a rainy situation, my not-so-slender ass (5'11" and 220lbs) wouldn't fit so well vice versa. All in all, I am seeing SO many great uses for this thing, only regretting that I wasn't up last night late to see your video when it dropped, and now the poles are out of stock already. All good things come to those who stay up late and party with the big boys, haha! Ah, well... I was needing the sleep. Thanks for another great adventure through the mind of the great and notorious Boondockery! (the laugh at the end was awesome, too!). Cheers from Georgia!

The original idea is called the alpha tent. It has been around a long long time . I made a video on how to do it yourself almost 7 years ago.

I prefer your setup, and your ending..

With age comes wisdom (usually). And with wisdom comes an appreciation for having a “conversation” vs. being talked at. This channel affords the former, and that’s why I subscribed and keep watching. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Having purchased the Pathfinder Poncho Pole Set some months back, I appreciated seeing the adaptation of the HD space blanket, as I’d not experimented with that yet. I also will now swap out my bank line loops for bungee cord. Great stuff here. Including the Sasquatch Tortoise clip that the end! Hilarious! Thank you, as always for doing what you do, the way YOU do it. 👍

Appreciate. I don’t have poles or heavy space blanket. Just wondering out loud. Is it feasible to spray paint camo on heavy space blanket( or not) and only use it with poles for shelter. Then can use poncho as another layer on your person or light sleeping bag and still have to go out and about in - and have some protection from elements, plus be camouflaged? Always enjoy and I’m in no rush maaan. 🫵👍 the end was funny. I appreciate goofy 😁

Ffs! Just show us! Taking too long.

Love my special forces sleep system! Great hacks!

My kids are getting out and about a lot more, so I am building car kits for everyone. We have had a freeze dryer running 24/7 for about the last month, and a vacuum sealer running hot as well. Our problem is, as fast as we preserve it, the kids pounce and eat it. BTW, freeze dried pizza, and Costco chicken bakes are amazing.

I remember in when I was in the British army and we were first issued the mtp smocks we used to cut the wire out of the hood and cut the lip of the hood by about an inch. The wire because a pain when you had to keep folding it up. Great video buddy keep up the good work 👍

Great review my friend

I was hoping that you had the recipe below so I didn't have to type out the basics. Hate that, LOL

What model is your headlamp? Great video

What about simply putting some carbon felt in the Altoids tin and then filling it up with real alcohol when you want to use it? Have you tried this? I couldn't see anything like it in the channel. I wonder if the heat output would be that much different...

Какой там состав, вы не написали на экране, иак бы было понятнее что вы туда добавляли 🙂

If you're looking for ABU pattern, best bet is a Goodwill near an AFB, or an Airmen's Attic on the AFB.

I like the olive drab best.

Awesome!

Maybe u should sharpen that eh knife hehe

It’s $650 for camo now. Thanks, Biden.
