> I carry a US military poncho. When used as a poncho it can insulate one and protect from rain. It is almost square and has grommets so it can be used as a tarp, It has snaps on the side to from into a windproof "sleeping bag" and like the Hoochie, you can snap them together to form larger structures. > This is a common practice South of the Border. Groups will often snap together their ponchos into a large, elaborate structure. In Mexico this is known as a Poncho Villa. Sorry about that... couldn't resist. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
