Heated Poncho Shelter
Description
A poncho (our PSS) can be used for much more than rain protection. It also keeps out the wind and as you will see in this video a small heat source can easily warm you. This is a great emergency set up to have. LINKS BELOW

Oh
we never know when you might have an occasion that you're just out somewhere and get stranded or for the overnight or something nothing serious but you know you're not making it back tonight could be some some certain winter days or spring or fall where the days nice and bright sunny still not you know really that warm but when you're with the full Sun and hiking away or whatever you're plenty warm dress perhaps as I am in a pair of Levi's and a and a shirt like this and you know perhaps something happens or whatever and you wind up having to stay the night and you know you may not have taken much with you now you're going to survive the night one it gets down into the mid to low teens or perhaps even into single digits at night which is which is quite common at certain times of the year and you know assuming that perhaps you brought a one of our Poncho's with you in case of case of bad weather or something the poncho would give you some some relief as far as the wind directly driving through you and I'm going to show you a little technique that can be used with the poncho with a very simple little method only a few extra ounces in your in your kit and an item that can actually fit in the bag the poncho comes in and you can use that to add quite a bit of a temperature range to your comfort level for the night so let me show you what we can do here all right so as you can see I've got my poncho on multicam I'll tell you that the poncho on just by itself is giving me a good bit of extra comfort level even though it has no insulating value of itself there is a there's a slight breeze here you know it's not not much maybe a few miles an hour or something but but you do feel that a little bit of a chill and you know if I was just in my clothing totally unprotected I would be considerably less comfortable than I am just with a poncho on by itself now if I had the liner snapped into I would be I'd be pretty cozy for this for this deal right at the moment but let me show you what I had in mind a lot of a lot of you a lot of a survivalist or ex-military military folks have have used at times a little inside of their poncho to in an extreme circumstances to warm things up here around the trunk of their body to kind of keep that warm and that is that's definitely a feasible course of action you know and you know in an extreme case to try to keep yourself from going into hypothermia or something like that and I was going to do a video on that last year in the year before I can't remember which but a little concerned about showing people putting a lighted candle inside their poncho as multicam poncho is fire retardant so it's not really going to start on fire but a whole could get burned in it or something like that which would be undesirable so but you know if you do have a fleece liner inside nut also even though that's got some fire retardancy to I mean you know I'm just a little leery except in a very extreme case of having a open lit candle inside the poncho in a seated boonie type situation so so what I have done is gives the little Yuko micro lantern I've got it inside the optional neoprene case which is definitely advisable keeps everything nicely protected everything it's
and all that sort of thing and basically the the lantern just extends up like this
locks into place it can be hung up and and used for ambient lighting or kind of some emergency lighting you could do a little bit of reading with it or that sort of thing but but I like to use it primarily as a backup heat source and and it does have a candle here it's a votive or tea light candle and then there's a space in the compartment underneath to to put an additional candle
now each one of these will burn five to six hours kind of depending so he got at least probably a minimum of about 10 hours of candle burning time which you know that should get you through a night or something like that I prefer of course I grew up a beekeeper my grandpa's occupation was a beekeeper and my dad did that for quite a number of years himself after he retired from the military in their traffic controller but I prefer myself to use a beeswax candle for several reasons one the beeswax candle burns a little hotter than burns a little bit hotter than a paraffin candle it also melts in a higher temperature so you know if you're carrying this thing and you get into some warmer weather beeswax candles not near as likely to to melt to kind of melt all over things or whatever so so that's that's significant the other thing is paraffin candle typically is going to give off kind of a black city smoke and it also there are some toxins that sort of thing in a in your typical tea light candles and the beeswax just an organic you know wax from the bees made by the bees and as a pleasant aroma we have little very very little smoke and you don't have that black sooty type smoke that is common with a tea light candle with a with a paraffin and wilderness innovation we've actually believe we have been using beeswax and our fire starter kits for the fire sticks we have a machine that impregnates the cordage all the way to the very core to the very center with with hot wax and so it's totally totally sealed totally waterproof and we just went ahead and set up production for making both the tea light candles and the larger votive candles that will burn for fifteen or sixteen hours and so you'll see those come up on our website as availability as an emergency heat source or light source or whatever but forever for tonight I mean what we're talking about here is using this as a heat source all right so typically we just light this thing up this has never been lit yet so it takes just a little longer I would advise if you're going to use something like this light the candles at home that you're going to use and let them burn for a little bit you know a couple maybe a couple of minutes and then blow them out and that kind of charged the end of the wick and it makes it very easy to light it especially if you have some difficult conditions so it's kind of like you're making a little bit of a making kind of a charred wick instead of a virgin wick like this one was which is a little bit harder to to light so now the way I would use this inside of here as I go ahead and unsnap one of my snaps here just to make it easy to get in there and I would set this look out of there
so I would set this inside my poncho and typically one of the best spot is to just kind of keep it between your between your legs and you can either that you can see it here the the light foam and everything but you can just keep it between your legs like that and you'll feel in just just a few minutes time you'll feel the the heat start to build up inside of the poncho and and really what you want to do you want to make sure you try to keep the core of your body as warm as possible and that's what we're looking at doing here we're we're looking at trying to keep our core warm I can already feel a good bit of warmth starting to build up inside of here and so that's all you got to do now another option to holding it with your hands is if you can get a piece of split wood or something like that you can either lay it across your lap or you can put it so you sit on it and then you can actually set the set the lantern right between your legs on a flat platform or something like that that works really well I could show you a little something I'm going to lift up from this in here and get back on the seat here a little now of course this is a piece of 2 before but you get the drift anyway the idea would be that you'd want to be able to position somewhat like this now see this doesn't ever get really hot to burn you this very top will get that will obviously get a little bit warm but the sides here you know I I can hold it so it's not you know it's not extremely hot the glasses a little hotter than this rim is but you see if I touch the very top so far to position that like that and then throw this poncho over there now my hands are free and I don't have to worry about you know holding the lantern I can sit here like this and get cozy and I could even take a little snooze or whatever I don't have to worry about it and typically what I would do is hold my hands kind of in front of the lantern out like that and I don't really have to worry about burning a hole in the poncho unless it actually rested right on the very top of the little silver disc right above the candle flame itself the other thing I was mentioning is I like I like to pull my arms in and I grab this corner tab or the shoulder tab I call it and pull that in underneath my armpit and then I want to do the same thing on the other side pull it in underneath my armpit like that just kind of pull them together now then now then I'm pretty well sealed on the sides whatever heats inside of here is going to stay inside of here pretty well I could even I could even pull the drawstring here a little bit kind of seal it off or if I had a scarf or anything like that I could tuck it around here to keep any heat from escaping that's what the Eskimos would do is a-there their clothing is designed for the body heat to rise and not be able to escape out through the neck or the head so it's all contained inside of there and of course we don't really have any insulating value here because this is just a poncho but it does have the capability like my hands inside of here are not feeling cold or anything like that we're done in the high teens right now and I'm going to get down close to single-digit here tonight but but I could sit here like this I'd be able to weather the night like this I'm a little bit protected from wind and that sort of thing with where I'm sitting I am sitting on the seeded Bibby chair that we made a video about that not long ago so I'm not sitting on a cold ground my back isn't leaning against cold anything cold itself so I am you know I am protecting myself as much as I can here so now the only other thing is if I were to add a fire to add a lighter a snap-in liner that goes with the poncho and if I were to do this very same thing with that I would be I would be very very comfortable right now I'm actually not a bit uncomfortable at the moment like right now anyway but having that extra insulating value I would be I would be very cozy to spend a night out in in the teens or wear maybe even an end to the single digits you know if I had just this candle this micro candle lantern inside of here burning and with a snap-in liner now I can weather tonight fine just like this with just my basically street clothes on the poncho so anyway that's what I wanted to show you tonight is is just another way to from out five ounces or there abouts maybe five or six ounces have something that you carry along with you stuff it right in your there'll easily fit right in your poncho bag this little you co micro Lantern in its case will fit right in there no problem you never even know you have it and if you get on a situation like this and all you got your street clothes on that or whatever thermally you can be you can keep yourself preserved from going getting hypothermic or that sort of thing so anyway just a little tip I know this isn't a short tip okay I'm kind of I get start talking I get long-winded you know but well I just want to make sure you understand you know what I'm trying to put out here and like I say I've used this on a number of occasions and found it to be well worth having it's a it's a good little addition to have for those kind of emergencies that sort of thing it'd be good to have in your bug out bag or something you can even throw some extra tea light candles in there like I say we'll have those on our website you could buy those in in packages or whatever stock up some bulk of those and it could be it could be good for quite a while but just stocking the lantern up with one one mounted ready to burn and one in the storage container in the bottom of the lantern and that's going to give you 10 to 12 hours of of heating with the lantern or you know if you're out hunting or whatever and you need to take a break for a little while need to rest or something in it's chilly you could just do this right here light up the lantern to keep you nice and warm while you take a little breather a little rest for an hour to or something like that and that way you're not sitting resting and getting chilled and so that's another option for for using it
so anyway so this is the little plane my way out of here so there's the little you co micro lantern and does very good you know I can't see you can't see virtually no smoke whatsoever coming off of that thing and that's very nice I can feel now that I've pulled it out from inside of here I can feel a little it's a lot it's a it's a considerably chillier inside to poncho than it was with just that in there so it's like a hundred hundred watt incandescent bulb which in the US I guess is outlawed now but but anybody that knows what one of those is that's how much heat you got here and how do I take care be safe be careful in that whatever you're outdoors a little tip to keep you safe Perry peacock wilderness inhalation loving the outdoors no matter what you
