A modern day poncho flip just like the Man With No Name
I was thinking the same thing
Interestingly enough, we had a tech school instructor tell us almost this exact thing 18 years ago. He had been stationed at Howard AB in Panama and this was something that the Jungle Warfare school put out!
I live in the Caribbean, all year round tropical weather, avg temp 85 and alot of rain. The poncho is the best solution for this region.
Thank you for making a TH-cam video while on a crucial mission.
I've been considering the poncho for awhile now. You're just a dude who doesn't wanna be soaked. Not overly suspicious
Very cool idea. With my belt kit I usually just went rifle outside poncho and the lower mag pouches are pretty easy to access under the bottom. However anyone other setup I think this is the way to go especially to conceal your weapon and gear similar to the early troops in Afghanistan
For all it's perks and versatility, the poncho has one major drawback, if it's raining, and your humping up a mountain, your getting wet regardless, just not with rain water. You can fling it open to vent, but really your choices are, wet from rain, or wet from sweat. Personal preference maybe.
"Stay Strong, Chase Excellence Brothers."
Its poncho over everything for me. Keeps everything nice and dry, just gotta be mindful of internal moisture fogging stuff up.
If I've got time to dig into my ruck I got time to move a poncho. If rounds are flying than staying dry isn't even on my mind.
Also the poncho flipped to the side and back looks LotT Dunedain Ranger stoic AF. 😁
Do you think gortex ponchos could remedy the moisture? If they make one in in gortex, as it has tiny holes just big enough to let vapor through but not liquid water.
@@chupachuuups706 Goretex doesn't work when it's actually wet. You'd be better off wearing a poncho with vents, but that could make it less useful as a tarp and increase cost(less than goretex, but still).
I’ve always liked the utility of the poncho. Nice video!
Cool video. Spiritual prep to my fellow veterans, Acts 2:38,🙏 because we will be there longer than we will be here😊
Don't forget 1st Corinthians 15:1-4
Very important 😁
Awesome my friends
@gregorysecord4618What a bundle of joy you are.
You handle that poncho like Zorro handles his cape.
That's beautiful. It looks like Oregon, near Silver Falls !!
Thank you for the tip! I love little things like that. Good job and keep rolling!
Too simple! Thanks I love it. Gotta try it.
Sir, Thank you for reviewing the basics.
PA dropping gems as usual 🙌🏽
This was really helpful. Thanks
Thank you! Great video and information.
Awesome as always 👍👍
Nice vid. All hail the military poncho!
Even hunting in an M81 USGI poncho, I run it over top of everything like this.
Sadly, these ponchos are getting harder to find in surplus stores around me and the knock-offs just aren't as good. Tragic.
Look up "ORC Industries poncho." They are supposed to be the official mil supplier of ponchos and are reasonably priced. In 2024, I think they have options at the $40 mark.
Thank you
Great info!
Thx for showing this! I‘ll get me one asap
I’ve tried this. Works well unless there’s a heavy wind. Thanks!
Good video PA, yes I do the same thing!
Thanks! I was hoping you would do a video like this one.
More tips like this please!
Deluth Trading DOTF pants have worked well for me in the general day to day wet PNW, and in the wet and mossy Gifford Pinchot. Dry on the move. When it gets below 45, I break out the Beyond Clothing L5 softshell pants.

THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great stuff
That poncho goes hard AF
Looks dope
Good stuff
A poncho is the only rain gear I need.
good stuff
Sweet.
Cool guy 😎👍
I've had the same thoughts on ponchos. I'm starting to think less is more, tech and the rest of the stuff, rather go old school. Leave some of the tech behind if the big guys are trying to find you they're going to do it, they have all the goodies tech stuff. lol
🔥🔥🔥
brill vid
Woodland is best of best … 🍀🍀🍀✌️😜👍🍀🍀🍀🔥
the trolling troll with his Poncho^^
Interesting concept, what are the other options? That would work well in cold/rain? Alarge jacket?
That mildewy poncho smell. Takes me back….
I started running a trex arms quad flap which I am really digging. Added a canteen and tq to my left side and a small gp on right side. Thoughts for the gp was any overflow and a rite in rain pad, pen and boo-boo kit.
I’m torn if I add a mini dangler for an ifak. Do you find the danglers get in the way or no?
One point to note (I’m very interested to hear if you have a good way to counter this) is that I have run a rifle under my poncho in wet weather and when i pull my rifle out my optic is completely fogged over. This is another in the list of items that have recently been turning me toward iron sights because of the extreme simplicity and versatility of irons.
This is what I use to help that issue.
amzn.to/45ogeI2
Magnified Optics will almost always out preform irons. (At least that's what I have found out throughout my military Career) Your mileage may very.
@@PreparedAirman Thanks! I will look into getting some of this.
Bit weird to do with a waterproof nylon poncho, but if you changed the cut of the poncho to be more similar to an old school right side opening cloak flipping the poncho open might become a bit more elegant. You (hopefully) shouldn't get that pile up on your right shoulder, giving you a clear shoulder for shouldering your rifle. This is essentially medieval sword drawing tech.
Cutting a right side arm slit would however compromise it's utility as a backup shelter.
My brother in Christ. Absolutely wicked. I love it.
Gee willikers Batman!!
Is that the same USGI Poncho Woodland M81 from Amazon that you are wearing in this video? @preparedairman
Here is the one I typically use and is featured in this video. It is from helicon tex. They are often expensive of out of stock but today looks like they have it for a good price l.
amzn.to/48Gv52l
Helpful.
What about when that can heats up?
let the rain cool it? i wondered this too with my setup
Then you would have other, more serious problems, like incoming bullets.
@@mikejeffsteel I'm assuming if I'm letting the can cool off, the conflict has subsided. So, I don't think anyone other than me an my group would be there to see it
It melts a giant hole in the poncho. I have firsthand experience. Same with a hot muzzle. You have to remember to keep it off the poncho even when outside.
Poncho can extend your life due to ROE
I'm curious to know if the poncho is: 1). Produced in OCP, and 2). Still issued to Marines/Army servicemen as standard equipment? I know that the ECWCS gear has become more and more available to the Army, but the poncho (and liner) just seem(s) like it(they) are just versatile enough pieces of individual gear that they should still round out part of a servicemen's basic equipment issue.
Yes, they have them in OCP/Multicam.
The issue part is hit or miss some units still issue then and others do not.
I have been issued a poncho liner at every unit except for one so far.
As for the poncho I've had only 2 units that issued the poncho.
I Have always been issued level 6 or Gortex top and bottom.
OCP poncho

@@PreparedAirman Interesting regarding the "by the unit" issue policy. Thanks for the information.
Current issue OCP/Scorpion poncho is quite pricey and hard to get at surplus store for now. I've seen one on ebay for about $150 or so.
What brand of trousers you had?
True spec Expedition Pants
amzn.to/3ROuDKh
Had to sneak in one mett-tc.
About what we did in the 80s before Gortex was really a thing. I still have my poncho, but someone stole my wooby.
Noooo not the woob
Why not wear a cloak? Has the same function but is open in the middle. With modern technology it could even have a system to keep it closed but can be easily open.
Why does this remind me of Clint Eastwood and spaghetti westerns......?????
Why not just run both your gear and rifle outside the poncho? Yeah it'll all get wet, I get that, but essentials can be made warerproof/resistant, and you don't have to expose your clothing/inside of thr poncho to the rain
Not with a poncho, that defeats the purpose. But if you were using Gortex top and bottoms that would be a better solution.
@@PreparedAirman ah ok thanks for the quick reply. Love your content 👌
It’s time we the people fight tyrants 🤬🤬🤬
Keeping the gun and gear on the inside protects them from the elements. I wouldn't want my rifle and optics rained on for hours if it wasn't somehow necessary.
Just remember that your PSG or 1SG will smoke you for doing this.
That's the neat part... you don't.
This video was made for the PNW lol
Very 1960's-1980's of you. One word - Gore-tex. There's a reason that ponchos are no longer used for most war fighters, at least for wear!
USGI poncho is made in China.
Most are, unfortunately. The Helicon-tex pocho might be made somewhere else.
@@PreparedAirman USGI is like a "brand", not USGI nomenclature acronym. Real deal ponchos are still US made by various companies.
@Bambi-lu it's both, which makes it more confusing.
lololo. airscout talkin about fightin. lolololo.
So, do you automatically assume anyone who is in the Air Force has never seen combat or has something educational and beneficial to say?
