    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.

Thanks for the directions on how to create a temporary shelter using my poncho. Your instructions are clear, concise, and well documented with the video. You are an excellent teacher, sir. I particularly enjoy the kit list at the beginning of each lesson and it's a critical component of good instruction.

    Worth watching - let alone the information on knots. I might try that one day for fun - but I usually use a simple evenk hitch followed by a taut tarp hitch to get my ridgeline set up. Then using prusiks for the eyelets to get the tension on. Maybe a matter of taste and/or routine, yet most things can be done just by knowing these three knots alone. Thanks for sharing!

    When cutting and burning cordage, consider first lightly burning the part of the cordage in the spot where you intend to cut it. Singe first, then cut and you will have a much cleaner cut without fraying. The final touch of the lighter on the cut ends will then give you a nice and even molten bead that needs no shaping with the fingers.
