Damn, from the opening shot I thought somebody had managed to film Bigfoot at long last! Another good "plash" video, thank you. We used to use a system called "Dutch Lacing" to join two canvases together on a boat tent we had as kids. I tried to find a link but all I got was ladies hair fashions and fancy lace! You start off the same way - push a loop thru the two button holes from beneath but instead of using a stick (hard to find when you're bobbing up and down on a lake!) you pull the loop down as far as the next pair of button holes. Pull another loop thru from the underside, poke the second loop thru the first loop and pull the second loop down to the next pair of button holes - can you see where this is going? When you get to the bottom then you can use a stick toggle. To separate just pull out the toggle and yank on the cordage and it all unravels. If I do find a link I'll come back and edit this. Ha! I see it's also called a "tent-becket" upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/81/Tent_Becket.JPG

I have a single Hungarian camo Zeltbahn, it's Pentagon shaped so a little different to the Russian poncho, but it's my favourite shelter item. I use it mostly as a stealth cloak/ poncho but it has dozens of uses. Something about having a canvas sheet for clothing just makes you feel like Rambo. After watching your videos i'm going to start using it as a ranger roll outer bag also.
@EnduranceRoom3 жыл бұрын
Nice! Those Hungarian ponchos have pretty interesting camo. I was really impressed combining my poncho with wool blankets. Insulation and warmth from the wool, canvas trapping it in and offering moisture protection.

@@EnduranceRoom I just finished making myself a winter hat based on this principle :) Really thick wool blanket inner, and canvas outer taken from an old duffel bag. I've had wool hats in winter before and they are no fun when they get soaked. I took inspiration from your DIY bushcraft videos, really happy with the result. Keep inspiring people!

@johnnyriddle10594 жыл бұрын
On the first set up instead of using cordage to seal the bottom to the top add buttons to the top so the bottom goes under it and attaches to the buttons. I think that would make it much easier to close off from the inside..

I still don't have the Russian canvas poncho but the NVA ones are pretty comparable and I love my Polish ones. I see now that the Romanian ones are on the market....need spending money!
@jeffreycrawley12163 жыл бұрын
Mine's Romanian. You get two arm slits instead of oneand each has an internal pocket. 3 cheap plastic toggles down the "front" and none of the button holes were properly cut so I replaced the toggles with smooth wooden ones and learned how to sew a button hole! I added a toggle at the level where the draw cords are - it's easier to fasten it there and then pull the draw cords tight (replaced them with 550 paracord which is smoother than Romanian "hairy string"). Then decided I didn't like the cheap, brassy grommets so learned how to sew in rope ones like an old fashioned canvas sail. Hey, I've had time on my hands and you've got to love KZfaq!

2.8 lbs They work quite well as a poncho. It more protection is needed, use a mixture of coconut oil and beeswax. Just warm it up in an old can, warm the cloth (fire or hair drier) and work in mixture. Gives canvas protection and looks great.

Hey man, great set up, although how does it perform under heavy rain? I live in Colombia, South America, and here it rains cats and dogs without warning every so often... Would the first set up hold up against a storm? Also, thanks to you I had to order 2 palatkas, I've enjoyed the toughness of the canvas so far. Great vids man, cheers
@EnduranceRoom3 жыл бұрын
Thanks, Sergio! Glad to hear you got some palatkas! I haven’t had any issues with mine with rain or being unstable in bad weather. My favorite setups for one palatka is to use a tripod and do something like a plowpoint setup. You can elevate the back end of the shelter to get more room. For two, I really like either an A frame or cabin type setup, or a half tepee setup. Cheers
