Re: Camping Tips: Got Any?
I am not saying "Dont take a jacket", I am saying take a wool blanket as if you know how to use it, it can be a multi- use item. Kinda like using a platypus as a drinking system and hanging it from a tree for a quick shower?
As previously stated, you can wear it as a cloak, use it as a blanket, use as a pillow, make a bedroll out of it, even a backpack/bedroll if you wanted. There are many of uses for it. If you are car camping/rv'ing you could carry all these different things, great. But if you plan to hike and don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on a sleep system, then yes this is useful.
Lets say you are hiking and want to take a only a few things. With a Military poncho, an good emergency blanket, a poncho liner and a wool blanket you can have a multi layered system for sleeping? You have a waterproof outer shell when you button the poncho length ways. You can then add the poncho liner and have a bag down to 50 degrees (from what I have learned). If you need to go lower temperature rating you need to go, the more you add. Add the emergency blanket between the poncho and liner, for a lower rating. If you really need it, add the poncho, em blanket, liner and wool blanket. Then you will be able to withstand very cold nights. So you are carrying one thing that has multiple uses. I have all this stuff and buy learning how to put it together, I don't have to buy a bunch of different bags.
Look up Dave Canterbury on youtube for a better understanding on how to use one thing for multiple things. He only owns a survival school and teaches classed. Plus if you ever watch dual survival, he is on there along with Cody Lundin.
Best tip....Keep your mind open so you can learn.
