Seriously, my brain can't even imagine an "if money were no object" scenario. Even then if would probably also depend on where and how you were going to use it. Are you looking at something to trek across Siberia with or do you need it for SAR operations in a rainy but humid envrionment? Is this going to be a backup to a tent and sleeping bag or are you looking for something along the lines of ultra-light backpacking gear? Summer, winter, spring/fall, any combo or all? Arizona, Alaska, Scotland, Brazil? Emergency kit in your vehicle (car, boat, plane?), keep at home kit or do you want one that you can carry in your briefcase or book bag?


Well... I was just thinking about going rather light during short hikes and using the poncho as an improvised shelter in case weather turns out bad, mean and ugly.

For longer hikes I already have my four season tent and duvet sleeping bag.

In the same vein... what do you, guys, think of this (I just found it browsing the Net)?




It certainly seems like a 'pole-less'(*) tent, doesn't it?

(*) Is that even a word? confused
