This is the reason I prefer a poncho to a tarp! Love the versatility!

Kenny without geeking out too much I have a feeling you have a special place in your heart for the planet Hoth. Love the snow shelters really cool.

The bight and toggle attachment idea was very clever.

“1989”! The year I graduated from high school! That music was sinister during the leanto description😬 Great vid buddy!!

"Fn A". In the years of watching tarp tents, poncho tents etc... that's the first time I have ever seen the Alpha tent. Bravo brother... I will be using that for many things... Thanks

The gift of the alpha shelter, thank-you.

that toggle bite is genius on the poncho setup...never thought of doing that

Also with the Alpha tent, you can stake the four corners and tie paracord to the hoodie and toss over a branch and give it some tension. Great video, Thanks for sharing.

Brilliant video, thank you for braving the cold to show us those great shelters

I always will have a special place in my heart for a poncho hooch. Great video and thanks for sharing

I have seen most of these shelters before, but then you pull out a framed tent style set up 🤣🤣, brilliant.

Thank you for this video. You offer several very good ideas.

As an office worker pog thats about to get sent to the field i appreciate this video

Best poncho setup vid that i have seen. I would not have thaught about making the alpha setup had i not have seen this. Excellent. I also love the snow camoflage clothing you were wearing especially at the end where you walk from right to left in the back ground.

Good demo. Really liked the Alpha shelter, Thanks for sharing.

Appreciate you're going to the extra effort with this video.

Great info! Now I see how useful a snow pattern poncho is for concealment, too. Thanks for the tip about sewing corners on your poncho... Will be doing that!

I'm very much a civilian woman and I learned a ton from this video! Thanks!

Nice use of the poncho. Thanks and take care.

Cool, thx for sharing!

Like your videos ! Been thinking of trying tarp camping because as I have aged my 6 lb. tent is getting heavier with every season.Tarps are much lighter and no poles to backpack in to the sites.So thanks for the set ups that you have shown .

That alpha shelter is really cool. I have an industrial sewing machine so I could modify one for myself. Very cool

Some really good info and some really quick and easy shelters! Enjoyed the video! Thanks for sharing!

simple, efficient, using what's around great video.

Excellent video. Really impressed with the Alpha shelter. Thank you

Awesome. Love the Alpha. I have never seen that before. I am making a poncho right now out of a breathable fabric so I was nice to see what you can do with it .

That A frame would be even better with a Military Modular Sleep System (MMSS). Put your backpack or rucksack at your feet, to block off some wind. I keep my MMSS in my vehicle with my Large Alice Ruck.

The music you put in the back ground gives your video a horror video game feel

Great ideas. Thank you.

Awesome video Kenny! I learned a lot of brilliant tricks. It looked like you were going to become a Human Popsicle near the end. I'm glad you hung in there and did that last tent. Thanks for your determination and your creative videos. Casey

My military and Mil-tec ponchos are some of my favorite gear hands down.

Poncho, Liner, & Air Mattress kept this 11b4p comfortable '71---'74.

I use the Vietnam era poncho. Made in 1962. Great video

Great alpha shelter. Very good job!!!

Best poncho shelter Video ever !!!

Really cool different types of shelters! That alpha shelter was new. I like using a bow line with a bite and a toggle. Than a trucker's hitch with a quick release on the other end for my ridgelines. But your shelters were solid! I'd love to see you snap two ponchos together with an emergency blanket or two??? I usually carry my litefighter one man Multicam military surplus tent. Especially if I know I'm going to be out overnight! But if I was going to have to make an open shelter. I would want to make it as comfortable as possible! More videos using several ponchos and emergency blankets please?? Different size space blankets-emergency blankets would be awesome!!🤜🤛🇺🇸🇺🇸

All of them was Nice Build's. I learned a couple of things today❕

Good video Thank

That is so awesome!! Thank you for showing us how to do that , you explained that so well I believe I can do that myself. Thanks again , stay safe my friend , God Bless

Alpha tent & A frame works best with space blankets. Before you push down your poles on the Alpha lay space blanket down between poles and poncho..tape up any loose space blanket same with A frame. Couple of hot pockets heat pads on your core will greatly increase your comfort. Small 8 hour candles inside Alpha tent warms up considerably.

Great video with lots of tips. Thanks!

Very good! Thumbs up from Ireland! :)

Hey UglyTent...Loved your stuff 12/2019...Really impressed with your Ninja Stealth..cool. Watched many a survival video, bought the mylar blanket and the poncho. Your video brought a certain reality to the action.. I liked the bight and twig starter method...get your shelter up...Keep up the good work.

I like the video sir, basic and straight to the point, one night set ups is what I'm looking for, I I just got a couple military ponchos, I like the idea of a space blanket for winter and summer use, good tip, and the camp dry spray sounds like something I should look into, I did not know there was an upkeep to a poncho...gotta look into that I guess...

Very useful and informative. Thank you.

Any one of those shelters would be a welcome sight on a rainy night.I like the wedge myself.To me an all around better cover.The alpha looked good there on the fly. Thanks. ZZ.

Thank-you

Excellent video, thankyou

Very nice video, I’ve been looking for this. Glad I found you.

Excellent. Thanks mate

Thanks big guy. Good stuff appreciate it.

My dad always taught me to use bungie cords instead of 550 chord just because it’s faster to set up and take down in a hurry. Extra weight but the convenience is well worth it

Nice presentation, and the music was never intrusive.

Some great tips thanks

Thanks for the great, concise information. Do you recommend any specific lengths of cords and knots to be cut ahead of time?

great video man you and Wilderness Innovation has like the best poncho shelter videos ever. I wish I would try one out but I can't cause I live in the urban area and I would not pitch my shelter in the middle of the street saying that I'm completely camouflaged . I want to practice my survival skills but sadly my brother is going to survival camp next week and irs really not fair to me. But thanks for the video though.

Good Info! Thanks!

Learned a ton from this thanks!

Excellent..very Informative!

FYI the Mylar surface is not as tough as the plastic material and wears off easier. So no matter the season keep it up. They may be better the nor modern ones, but probable not as they have not changed much, I have had the Mylar flake off before.

I don't have a poncho but I think I'm going to get one for my emergency pack in the boot of my car, so this is just an observation, but it looks to me like you can connect these things together to make a more substantial shelter, just an idea.

Great stuff

If you had the upper attachment point against a tree instead of in between two trees you would also get the benefit of the tree shielding you from wind.

Thanks for sharing

......enjoyed this vid.......thx........like the A-frame......... :)

Thank You , very good video. G. f. Germany Katjana

I have a large 9'4"" × 11'4" tarp so I am interested in this video. Some times I get creative, but want to see what you got. I also carry 2 ponchos for their practically, light weight, and versatility. Ok I saw it and I like the two stick idea. Great job.

great video!

Did enjoy.

Very cool!

Don't know if anyone said this already, but I keep a set of prusiks with my ridgeline so I don't have to keep loosening and tightening my ridgeline.

Kenny ... KENNYYYYYYY! ... KENYYYYYYYYYYY!!! Why were you laying on the ground? I've been trying to find you for 2 hours so we could enjoy the marshmallows I found in my coat pocket!

Poncho shelters or cowboy bedrolls for me.

Great Vid !

Good to know .THANk You

Great information to be had in these videos. Im not sure the ufo music fits tho.

Fantastic work, hard conditions...Regards...

hi,,,,,,,,ya,,,,,thats the way i would do it ,,,,,,,the A frame,,,,,

Seems like they would be too small for heavy or continuous rain. I wonder if extra large ponchos are available

I really didn't realize how much dexterity you lose and how fast until I went camping in Montana in the mountains in the cold. It's really weird how your body reacts to cold.

Any idea where I can get one of these military ponchos for cheap? I tried my local surplus but they charge an arm and a leg for everything I've checked out in the past Pretty sweet video. Showed a bunch of different shelters, some great tips really apprecaited

Curious about the white outer garments you have on. Are they insulated or just for camo

What’s going on with the hood of the poncho? I see a cord tied to it going real far behind the shelter?

The first two : how did you tie the poncho to the ridge line. I’m a beginner at this so bear with me.?

best rain poncho for 2017?

You made this poncho? Specs? Plans?

Where did you bought that poncho?

Why does the reflective side go down during summer?

Whats the brand of the poncho?? Helikon tex?

Did you make the winter poncho or buy it? If the former maybe a video? If the latter what is the source? Thanks.

👍👍👍

that music is freaking me out.........

Wtf are you wearing btw loved the vid

escape, not xcape!

Dang man. It sounds like part of your survival and prepper training needs to be some cardio! Cut down a couple saplings and you huffin' like you ran a marathon! Either that, or get your heart checked. There could be something seriously wrong!

Cada dos, o tres palabras exalas aire como si todo te exigiera un gran sacrificio y eso hace que parezca algo difícil de hacer. Deberías aprender a respirar o controlar tu ansiedad. De lo contrario dedicate a relatar carrera de caracoles

Suck to get stepped on by a bear

for US poncho, tie ridgeline at belt height, lay poncho OVER ridge line and tie 2 OPPOSITE corners TO ridge line with Prussik or similar knots.. pull two loose corners down and skake them (one should point down in direction wind is coming from) Dad taught me that one from his time in WW2 and Korea
