I feel like I know how to survive in the woods solo now from watching this video...

Crazy how he stares directly into your Soul to make sure you really understood the important steps

Can we appreciate how he soaked himself that’s one feeling you don’t want in the cold

The most informative in the shortest time, with one trick I had never imagined - the sauna, all under self-imposed, real world duress - without being a chatterbox about it like most of the others.

I learned More in this 11:20 minutes then in 30 minutes from another vídeos with much bla bla bla. Thank you mate!

Serving in the US Army, out of Ft Lewis Washington, I was on alert to Fort Irwin NTC for training out of McChord AFB. We were deployed so fast I didn't have time to get everything I needed, so I got what I could as I was off post when called up. I had forgotten a part of my tent, and had to improvise. So....I used my poncho to make a lean to from sage brush, and 4 tent stakes. No one laughed at me, and everyone said, why not use the tent? I just said, "I get better airflow using this as the sun is hot (108 degrees at that time during the day.) so I have natural AC.!" I never did tell anyone anyone I forgot the other half until now. I laughed when one of the soldiers came over and asked me if he could write a letter to his girl underneath it. I said, sure, and moved my pac out of the way, and there was plenty of room. Anyways, great video. Just sharing how the poncho was a game changer for me.

Great video- practical and not overcomplicated.

Great teaching. Very creative. Excellent production value. A cut above the rest. Thank you.

Excellent vid and I like the music (some have commented that they don't). The whole vid conveys a sense of urgency, and being stealthy because something has happened. Which is exactly why I EDC my poncho (Dutch Army) if I'm carrying a bag, which serves as a get home bag, in case of some event meaning I can't get home by usual means and have to go on foot, and maybe find a patch of wooded ground to hunker down in. Just watched a few minutes of another vid where he very skilfully set up a perfect poncho shelter, but it took more than 20 minutes, and that's just what he edited. In an emergency you would be stressed, maybe hungry and lacking in energy, and maybe lacking in time to make a perfect shelter, especially if it's started to rain, or you're just feeling cold. Hence, as you say, KISS - keep it simple. If I'm actually going out into the ''wilderness' (I'm in the UK so it's more countryside than wilderness) I have my larger basha (shelter sheet) or tarp, plus a bivvy bag, sleeping bag, and ground mat, and other gear to make my life comfortable.

Outstanding video. Will definitely refer people to it to show what right looks like!

Those facial expressions hehe. Thanks for video , i seacrhed for it regarding uses of poncho.

You deserve much more attention

Jolly good show! 🤠 Good bush craft tips also.

Ponchos are so light and easy to carry so pack 2 you wont regret it.

Great job soldier

I love this video so much and I've learned so much from just watching VS listening. New Subscriber here. I've checked out your other vids and they're good too. My only suggestion is to have background music, like you did for this video. A lot of ppl these days are attention deficit, thanks to the advent of social media. Background music kinda hypnotizes ppl into being engaged, to an extent. Thank you for your content and I look forward to seeing more of your content! I want to see you hit 100k subscribers, I know you will.

The poncho sauna is ingenious! I was weighing up whether to include tea candles in my bug out - now definitely yes. Thanks.

So viele gute Tipps! Nehme ich alle mit!

Das war das erste Video das ich damals von dir gesehen hab... Seit dem zieh ich mir jedes Video von dir rein. Abonniert habe ich natürlich schon lange.;-) Mach weiter so!

Ty... Amazing! The best one!

I would leave the music out of the video or have it fade after a few seconds. Just hearing the sounds of nature and camping being set up would be better. Nice scenario!

Dang dude, that's gotta be one of the very best, to the point instructional videos on surviving w/ poncho or tarp. Very impressive. Thanks.

Very informative!! Appreciate it!!

Nice way to presenting an outdoor tutorial vids, very fun.....K.I.S.S. lol

Just got my own poncho tarp and have been looking at videos to see different ways to use it - this is by far the best video I’ve seen! Entertaining and informative.

get well soon

Seems like you would just wear the poncho before pouring the water over your, lol. KISS! but it was entertaining and informative, thanks for sharing.

Actually quite informative but entertaining as well. Gained some ideas from your video. Thanks for sharing.

Love this content!!!!

The bivvy is really the best idea. It keeps warm and dry. Thanks man 👍🏻

i love this channel!

Pragmatic and easy-to-understand videos. Thank you from Japan.

Rare i ever comment...blimey...just wow!

I love my poncho, it's given me shelter in wilderness from coast to coast border to border and Alaska.

man, your video is good.....thanks for this tips

thanks for sharing video

I subscribed this is a very well put together and I learned a lot

Yes, as he said make sure you get a Good Quality, properly sized poncho... I'm a veteran and was able to purchase direct from the US manufacturer ORC Industries Wisconsin two New OD Green ponchos 90"x65" which is what is needed for proper shelter. The ACU camo ponchos are also available for the aesthetically challenged. Finding "New" or New condition US made GI ponchos are almost impossible to find. Those that are available sell for $100 +... great video !

Couldn’t help but subscribe 👍🏻👍🏻

Good performance, greetings from Germany

Exactly what i was looking for. Exactly the lessons i needed.

Awesome video , I learned alot from this for my new coming bushcraft video. Thank you man

That's so awesome!

Simple and informative as it should be

Funny, informative, and straight to the point. Like it...

The best emergency shelter video I have seen. Thank you.

If tarp, poncho,or anything is. touching you or material in most conditions,you will get wetter from condensation or rain blown into the space.All of these will work in dry conditions,in wet get some clearance between you and shelter material,and get something to close off ends as much as possible.In British Army Infantry, my poncho had a cover over one end.

Way to go hard!!

The Hooch , Sauna and Bivvy were flawless....;)

Best demo I’ve seen. Nice job.

Well done so concise without int all the padding and waffle it actually sinks in. Great tutorial

Good to knowledge🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆⭐⭐⭐⭐😍😍

I recently brought a poncho just like this. So far I've only tried an A Frame configuration and I'm really pleased with it. These ponchos are excellent and I look forward to trying some other setups.

Loving the bongos @2.09 :) And also, this is a fantastic video, thank you.

Bardzo pomysłowa całość wideo - Gratuluję!

I love the candle tip so much. Saw it first here, for sure.

That's the trick now. Finding a genuine USGI Poncho.

Dam good job!👊

TOP Video

Sold! Keep giving them hell buddy.

Parabéns pelo vídeo e pela atuação faça mais vídeos usando o mínimo de material possível 👏🏻👏🏻

Mitico 😀al posto di parlare un ora in pochissimo tempo hai creato una vera situazione di emergenza e la hai risolta 🙂 complimenti!

Most important lesson I've learned by watching this... in such a situation, I will need somebody with your skills on my side. 😅

Excelent video

Alot of info in a very short time. Awesome videos. Loved the occasional "crazy eyes" too.

Great vid! Simple and informative 👍🏼

Mega Video!!! Hab ein Abo da gelassen. 👍🏻🎗

Servus, respektabler Selbstversuch👍, das mit dem Wasser würde ich ja nicht mal im Sommer machen 🤪. Schöne Vorführung der verschiedenen Möglichkeiten mit nur einem Poncho, klasse 🙂. LG Gerhard 👋

Very informative and very practical. This is part of the U.S. Army that should be taught on a regular basis. Very crucial for 11B in jungle environment (like me in Fort Polk) lol

Excellent video nice touch of humor

Very informative.

Very well made video, love your attitude and the compacted nature of all the info. Wouldnt work if you didnt get all the important info on screen, so thanks for that! Keep it up, I feel a lot more capable with my poncho

Top Video für gezeigt mit den verschiedenen Setups LG Enno

Great video!

Fab video

absolut amazing tips. thank you

Nice man.💪

Amazing content! Nice idea and awesome editing.

Hallo Martin, Schön gemachtes Video! Und nochmal Danke für den Tip mit der Kaputze. Gibt nen Daumen hoch und nen Abo lass ich euch auch da. Mal sehen was da noch so kommt.... LG. Der Waldschläfer

Great instruction video! I learned some cool tricks! Side note: I noticed how bad M81 camo really is. It doesn't blend well and it doesn't break up the shape either.

Absolute boss mate, top content! Been using a dedicated tarp gonna switch to poncho. Subbed

Gut gemacht und gezeigt Martin

Во, интурист, даёт!))

Awesome video 👍

Cool video!

humor and good content..nice

I like

I just watched a lot of poncho tent videos on KZfaq and your approach was very informative and simple compared to other videos. Two knots is all you need to know! K.I.S.S. keep it simple stupid.

Sehr originelles Video. Ist immer schön wenn man mal schmunzeln kann. Sehr gut gezeigt mit den ganzen Varianten. Die Kerzensauna ;) ist auch Top. Muss man aufpassen wo man die Kerze platziert sonst wirds heiß ;) Hat mir gut gefallen. Grüße Marco & Racoon

Great video Awesome

cool video

Jawoll 🤣 Richtig gutes Video. 👍 Toll gemacht. Lehrreich, witzig und mit toller Atmosphäre. Viele Grüße Martin

Another great video. One of the best ones on tarp/poncho shelter. I too like the keep it simple approach!

Bravo!!! Bel video! Molto interessante!!!! E ottimo il modo di presentarlo!!!!!✌👍🍁🌲

Good demo mate 😂 . Love my poncho . Handy bit of kit, dont leave home without it. Take care mate 👍

Sau coole Idee mit der Vorführung. Wirklich toll gemacht. Vielen Dank fürs zeigen. Gruß Bernd

Hey Servus! Hat mir gut gefallen und top gemacht! LG Tobi

Pretty good video. Comments: 1. Add a woobie to your kit. 2. Add a large paper clip, several safety pins, 25' of mason string, and greased cotton in a baggie to your altoids can. The clip can slide into the hinge of the can and hold the lid straight up making it an excellent reflector at night. Use a drip of wax to glue the candle into the can. 20 years ago, I had bunch of scouts playing with these at night and they worked real well. 3. Treasure the poncho. When I was in the Army, new ponchos were $6 at QM Sales so I bought 2 for myself to take home. It only took 40 years for them to disintegrate. 4. Add several 2" shingle nails to your stake bag. I prefer to set up a poncho against a fallen tree so that I've already got a wall on one side. 5. Add the canteen/cup/pouch/stove/halizone/utensils set up to your kit. 6. Look at upgrading your emergency blanket to an AMK Heatsheet. They are bigger, stronger, and quieter than mylar. MidwayUSA carries them. Good Luck, Rick

Amazing
