@phendrick I try understand that language changes. Two times vs twice bothered me until I realized that sometime before I was born thrice went out of fashion.
@goldnectar Ah. Folks with a fully kitted “go bag” have other options (and probably wool blankets and a towel).
I tend to get these with the idea it’s for the folks who might be around me in an emergency, but not family - like accident victims in the winter, etc.
@werehatrack But the question isn’t that it will go bad, it’s how to tell when it’s time to replace. Just like first aid kits and survival rations (we regularly inspected our go-to-war MRE and were supposed to rotate them out every 10 years or something).
(Not actually big into this stuff, just like having a couple tools and things in the truck and van)
For someone who adores backcountry hiking in suboptimal conditions, maybe there’s a use case for lugging this along. I prefer not to find out. My solution to the “emergency” situation is to endeavor not to be in a place where extraordinary gear would be crucial. That’s why I don’t hike remote slot canyons, for example. If you really need this tent, shit’s already out of control, and you need a lot more than a tent, and probably a lot more tent than this. I will also note that I was handed a pile of stuff like this when a '70s survivalist friend died a couple of decades back without ever using it. Eventually, I opened up all of it and discovered that it was no longer fit for any purpose, if it ever had been. If I want emergency kit, I want stuff I know I can rely on. Pass.
@werehatrack The tent is basically for a day hiker that accidentally stayed out too long and are now spending the night. The Ponchos could be used for the same purpose or just to have in your car, say like if you have an accident in a snow storm.
I have experienced storms that just pop up rather unexpectedly. We had one case where things were nice in the morning and by lunch time, it was a major ice storm. In my office, we all went home before it got bad, but schools took to long to send kids home and some buses did not make it back till 1 in the morning.
And I know how miserable it is changing a flat tire in a major storm. A poncho would have been much appreciated.
Didn’t bring my sleeping bag. It was only supposed to go down to 62 but actually got down to about 50 at night. I was going to bring sheets and a blanket… but didn’t go back inside to get them when packing my car.
My blowup mattress deflated
I was dressed lightly, no long pants, just shorts and a cotton kilt. It was a clothing optional event and I didn’t think I needed to bring a lot of clothes.
So I spent two uncomfy nights in my car; I couldn’t run my car for heat because that would disturb other campers trying to sleep, and I was low on gas.
So yesterday I bought a double pack of similar emergency blankets from Amazon. I actually had a “space blanket” in my car which I had forgotten about until I unpacked my car.
I’ll get these, maybe cancel my Amazon order; or make gifts of the extras.

Are you trying out for Naked and Afraid?
@accelerator@Barefooted Some of those Naked and Afraid people are bad-ass, man. Others, not so much. And even survivalists don’t have much defense against Malaria and Dysentery.
EDIT I’d probably go with Bear Gryllis, but then again the thought of being with him naked makes me more than a bit uncomfortable. (or secretly excited?).
The ponchos seem good to have around, and I thought of another use for the tent as an emergency tarp to place on the ground if you have to do something like on the ground/pavement/mud if you have to do some emergency repair. Sure it’s not heavy-duty and the tent would probably not be worth saving after that, but you’d be very glad you had it with you at that time.
the label that tent makers put on their product indicating the number that can fit make me laugh. Take that number, divide by 2, sometimes even 3. The original number is beyond friends number, it’s the asses to elbows number.

These are intense!
@randoon that joke makes me want to poncho in the face.
I do live in a place where flash foods are a thing.
@AaronLeeJohnson but these won’t float
@AaronLeeJohnson Is flash food like super fast food? (I imagine them launching the bag into your open car window as you drive past.
)
If Intent is what you intend to do, is outent what you don’t intend to do? If so…
I have outent to buy these.
I appreciated this video
@Euniceandrich Needs more drama!
Can I buy an adverb, Pat?
[or are they no longer in fashion?]

@phendrick Apparently quadrice and quinquice (or quince) are nominally words. Any news on tour dates for those groups?
Just in time for the coming apocalypse in November. You got some of their emergency rations still available?
@hchavers I hear there’s some place you can get a lot of Ramen cups online
I thought my brother would be into these since he has a “go bag.” He said you’ll never use it and it will deteriorate to a flakey mess.
@goldnectar Ah. Folks with a fully kitted “go bag” have other options (and probably wool blankets and a towel).

Can’t see these things helping in a flood as someone mentioned. Well maybe in Cali with Ponch(o) and John (aka Tonto) on CHIPS.
Grabbed two for our emergency kits.

The ponchos will be good for an emergency pumpkin costume
@Grammalam Oh my goodness. We have a large pumpkin patch and I had never once considered this need. Thank you.

In a pinch, a “gas station margarita” can be mixed up with tequila and Sprite.
@leeeoooooo Spoken like a true professional.
@IAMIS Won’t keep out the bugs or the bears, but hard to resist the price.
@IAMIS Won’t keep out bears? How is a bear even going to fit in it?
@IAMIS @mehcuda67 I think the standard punchline is “Anywhere he wants to”.
@mehcuda67 I think it is going to fit into the bear.
@IAMIS @mehcuda67 Guess I’m gonna have to try and find out…
@IAMIS @mehcuda67 one way to get a fur coat …

I went camping last weekend and…
So I spent two uncomfy nights in my car; I couldn’t run my car for heat because that would disturb other campers trying to sleep, and I was low on gas.

@Barefooted based on your username and story about the event. I’m guessing more than just barefooted part of the time.

@ironcheftoni This tent is not for comfortable accommodations.
@alose @ironcheftoni depends on how “comfortable” you are with the other person.
