When it comes to setting up a camping shelter, you can go totally Bear Grylls and build a shelter from sticks, branches and sheep that are just lying around. But if you're looking for something quicker and more efficient, try using tent poles with your poncho to create an improvised tent. While traditional woodcraft shelters might take hours to construct, this method is much faster and drier.
For the setup, I recommend getting tent poles that are about 8-9% bigger than the poncho diagonals. I opted for a larger pole set and removed one section to get the perfect fit. Keep in mind that the pole sections usually overlap by about 2 inches, so factor that into your measurements.
To attach the poles to the poncho, I use P3 Fast Wire Connectors. I drill a hole for the cord to go through. The size of the connectors will depend on the size of your grommets, so be sure to check for compatibility before you head out.
