The possibilities for this thing are quite endless, for the price I’m going to pick up a few more. Here are some photos showing the Mountain Serape getting rolled up in the Plash Palatka and getting secured with some 550 cord into a loop: I could see something like this being perfect for stationary jobs like pulling guard, hunting, or waiting in the elements for something else where you still need to have both hands but want to be warm at the same time. What’s cool about this is that you’ve more or less got a temperate sleep system for that you can throw over your shoulder in one single package that’s good and rugged.
But folding the Mountain Serape in half it fits into the Plash Palatka perfectly and the whole arrangement can be easily carried over the shoulder Russian style.
Briers and tangled undergrowth would shred the hazard 4.īeen messing around with it some more, turns out I can flip it around an easily use it for my devil handed ways, I did flip the tail toggle around to the other side so it would all work right for me inside out.Īs I said before the HPG Mountain Serape works great in conjunction with the Plash Palatka, size wise it’s not a perfect match with the Plash Palatka being a square and the Mountain Serape being more of a rectangle. material was what pushed me to the outback. it was between the outback trading and the Hazard 4 Poncho villa. I was after something that would last more than 1 or 2 seasons. When i was researching a poncho, a few years back, I got down to 2 each that i was considering. already well grommet'ed, for makeing a shelterĢ.stores in its own chest pocket, has 2 d-rings to attach to pack or saddleĥ.cut roomy, enough to cover a rider, saddle, and top of horse. The cape has been actively used as part of military equipment since the second half of the 19th. This piece of clothing/tent was introduced into the Red Army in 1936, however the idea of a cape-tent had been used in the Russian army since the days of Peter I, the first with a collar-hood cape in 1761. but it keeps you toasty in a cold climate as well, so thats more of a trade off. Plash-Palatka - Enlisted - Circa 1941-1945. 5.cut roomy, enough to cover a rider, saddle, and top of horse. 2.stores in its own chest pocket, has 2 d-rings to attach to pack or saddle.
if your weight conscious on your gear, its heavy. already well grommet'ed, for makeing a shelter. big enough to cover you and a fully loaded alice pack, and also big enough to make a shelter.
#RATNIK PLASH PALATKA SKIN#
Its not one of those ponchos that the wind blows up or skin tight against you. Finally, before you decide to pull the trigger, you can view several videos on youtube for cloak shelters: just search on plash palatka or polish lavvu. rolls up and stores in its own chest pocket. While fairly water resistant, an application of Camp Dry or similar, or even a hot wax treatment can increase the resistance. I like the idea of these better than a rustley poncho that blows around all over the place in the wind, and is at least semi-breathable compared to the poncho material.Been using a aussie outfitter for 2 years now. Intended use is going to be when I'm at my campsites to wear whilst sat around and inactive as a windproof outer layer of insulation and being waterproof would be a bonus. Nikwax/gangers route:- how durable is the treatment and how long does it realistically last? If waxing does the fabric feel waxy/greasy to the tough and get a residue on skin clothing afterwards whenever you tough it? does it make the fabric hard and inflexible? I have never waterproofed anything cotton before so I am unsure what is the best route to take.
do I go for something like Nikwax/Grangers cotton proof type wash in treatments or do I go down the melting wax into the fabric route. I am wanting to reproof it but am unsure of the best way to go with something like this. I understand originally they were treated with some form of waterproofing agent now being as old as it is and being sat in a warehouse for decades I doubt it would stand up to much more than a light shower. In immaculate condition considering its 30 odd years old. I got myself one of these Russian canvas rain capes dirt cheap on ebay.
