Dave Canterbury has a new video up on the new poncho they are carrying. Woodland. $39. Looks decent for the money. Figured I'd pass it on. https://www.selfrelianceoutfitters.com/products/pathfinder-poncho?_pos=6&_sid=47a9fc8f8&_ss=r  NEW PF Poncho | Improved Shelter System & PF Poncho Pole Setup |

Not as a boat per say, but you can seal off the hood, invert it and place your ruck, clothes, etc. inside and swim with it to the other side of a body of water, keeping everything dry. I wasn't too enamored with the shelter concept. It works but I just didn't care for it (I'm not high on too many tents regardless as I prefer hammocks  ).ROCK6 |
