There was a time where a friend keeled over on a walk up a big hill and none of us knew how to make a stretcher. Luckily she was okay in the end but relying on the emergency services that night was not good for many reasons and if we could have just carried her to a main road we could have got her to hospital about 45 minutes sooner. Thanks great advice!
I know it's an old video but I want to help your algorithm by commenting because I appreciate your videos which I was looking for to make cots for my children and me and I prefer to use natural materials even at home I like the lashing and bar techniques for stability and you are relevant if an older video helps someone in the present the buscraft community is growing and including me thank you
In the BSA we learned how to make a similar stretcher, but instead of a poncho, we just zig-zagged a rope down the length of it to make an improvised sort of webbing.
this is good to make a bed 2 right? i would probably dig in the ground a little bit under so i dont touch it when i lay down and then raise it a little bit with some tree trunks
Hey Corporal, appreciate what you do, thanks. I asked this question on one of your last videos but you must have missed it or i missed your answer. I am wondering what the weight limit of the poncho is when used this way? I carry this exact same poncho and have for yrs and would love to try some of the things you do with them. But i am 375 lbs and dont want to destroy it. If it hasnt been tested, maybe im the one to test it. lol
+bobby keller I am 250lbs. This set up is just temporary and should not be used long term. As far as the weight limit.......I have no idea, we are using the gear for means other than it was intended. Go to Tentsmiths.com. they make a canvas that is perfect for long term. tentsmiths.com/tent-camp-accessories/ground-cloth.html
+Corporals Corner Absolutely , Id only use the poncho in a pinch. I have other means of bedding for every day use, but i like having options and other plans in the mental tool box.
that poncho is worth its weight in gold huh? should try to make an improvised blind for a S.E.R.E. situation that would be kinda kewl but its just an idea... stay kewl..

It keeps throwing these older videos in my feed I say yeah bring them home they're good to go
Good tip, those ponchos can do anything. Very versatile piece of kit. Thanks for the video.

Good job bro you can use wool blankets as well, or two field coats

Very nicely done and demonstrated! Short, sweet, and very informative!

+Stowells Outdoor Thank you , More to come

Yeah if you make the bunkbed different you could easily grab it and go if you had to. Well done Corporal!
Very nice and informative. Where can one pick up a poncho like that?
royaldaredevil Any Army Navy Store about $30.00 they'll last for 40 years, if . maintain, I've still have mine since 1975.
That is a very nice skill to know. Thanks for sharing Corporal.
There certainly appears to be a lot of cedar in your area. At least that looks like cedar. I could be wrong
+9th dimension It is cedar, Its everywhere.
that is some very handy information to have. Very cool. Thanks for sharing
Nice job again. Thanks
+Telly Lamore Thanks Again
