Cheap poncho or cheap survival blanket? - 01/10/06 09:24 PM
My first wilderness PSK attempt has been pretty satisfying. I've placed my items in a medium-size camera bag and especially enjoy the rubber bands sewn in the bag's walls to hold lighters, etc.
I'm thinking of changing my Mini-Maglite w/Nite-Ize mod to a more powerul 3xAAA 1W Luxeon flashlight. Things are getting tight in the bag, so I am considering removing either the poncho or survival blanket.
Both are cheap, i'm slowly leaning towards losing the survival blanket in favor of the poncho which might turn out more useful in a wilderness scenario (pouring rain, for example). The poncho can also retain body heat a little bit, so it appears logical to lose the survival blanket.
Do I simply need another, larger container? ;-)
