The military poncho, with hood, is made of coated nylon cloth and is waterproof. It is roughly rectangular in shape. The hood and the opening for the neck are located at the center of the rectangle. Drawstring's are provided at the hood and waist.
Various types of shelters and lean-tos may be made by attaching ponchos to trees, tree branches, bushes, sticks, or poles. Always dig a ditch under the eaves of the shelter to drain off rainwater which drips from the edges of the poncho. A number of ponchos can be clipped together to build larger shelters. A few shelters are shown here, but there are many, many more which can be made.
Ponchos are lightweight and multi-purpose and can also be used as a rain garment, sleeping bag and emergency stretcher.
