This daily pick might look a little too on the mark in a few hours as the hurricane hits Florida. Maybe you should have pushed a dog fan speaker or something.
I’d be in for 2 sets if only they were in some sort of camo pattern. If I actually went somewhere away from the city these days and needed to break this out, I probably don’t want to be found.
@jouest I don’t know about that. They’re usually in more of a dull orange and when you actually need help locating something, they’re almost as rare as finding Bigfoot. Last thing I need is a line of people outside of my tent asking where the toilet float and sprinkler heads are.
Note - it’s gotta be some place reputable that has more than one of the thing, so linking to your cousin Joe’s Shopify store doesn’t count, and we get to be the judge.
@IndifferentDude Mon Dieu! For five cents more here on Meh, you get a 90-day warranty, but the one on eBay is SOLD AS-IS. I call that a significant difference.
Eh, no FOMO here. I’ve had kit like this in the past, and never found myself in need of it. By the time I’d become curious enough to open the package, they were always degraded to the point of uselessness. Emergency kit needs to be refreshed periodically in order to be effective. So if you like having a go-bag with no-facilities survival goals, maybe buying this and using it to update the bag could be a good idea if you last opened it a decade ago.
@AaronLeeJohnson@chienfou@Kyeh Got updates from my friends in Asheville NC; storm just passed through; no power anywhere. Lots of trees down and most roads blocked by fallen trees (a lot of trees and small roads in that neighborhood). My friend who has a woodstove says at least lots of future firewood available if he works at it.
I tried the poncho; it was not bad. Not super-thin or flimsy. Was a pain to fold and stuff back into included pouch but got it in there. I would much rather have something like this handy, than have nothing. As I mentioned first time these were up, if I had to do something like crawl under my truck, the tent would double as a tarp I could spread on the ground. For the price, worth having.
Having purchased these before. Be aware, these are flimsy and no more than a single use, emergency situation item. They are barely more durable than a mylar balloon.
@bransonboyds I tried a poncho, struck me as much stronger than those instant plastic emergency ponchos or “space blankets”. I was able to put it on, wear it around for a few minutes; then fold it back up and stuff it back in to the sack, which was a bit of a pain but worked. To me these weren’t as bad as you describe. Clearly for emergency use. If you are crawling on the ground (or as I said use the tent as an emergency tarp on the ground to crawl under your vehicle or something), yes, you’d probably not want to re-use after that but that’s the point of having these around.
No they are not going to match a gore-tex jacket or an expedition-grade tent.
But as I said in a previous post, if for some reason I was in a situation with 10 inches of rain falling and didn’t have access to my good gore-tex, I would be very glad to have this poncho handy. Also because of the color would be good “safety wear” for visibility though again, if you have access to a reflective emergency worker vest, of course that’s better. I was stuck by the side of I-40 outside of Nashville waiting for a tire repair and despite hazard lights and putting out warning triangles and stuff everything continued to fly by on the highway a few feet away at about 70-80mph. The poncho isn’t going to protect you from a 50,000lb truck but at least increases the chance it won’t hit you.
I’m in! I just hope it gets to me before our western North Carolina vacation (where they just got pummelled by the aftermath of Hurricane Helene!) Never know when we might need something like this!

@tohar1 were you the one heading to Asheville?(somebody on one of these forums mentioned recently). I spend winters there but am not there yet. Getting pics and video; no power except for friend that has a generator. Trees down everywhere including blocking the roads in the residential neighborhood. We live on a hill so no real flood risk but basements all tend to get water in them (people told me, oh yeah all the basements do that here!). Any place by creeks and rivers probably more affected.
@pmarin I sure am. Yesterday, I had a picture sent to me that if we were there now, we couldn’t even get to where we’re staying (Chimney Rock/Lake Lure area) as the roads are closed completely. Hoping Mother Nature gets back on her meds, and behaves so all the folks in that region can get back to some sort of normalcy…It’s just 13 days until we’re scheduled to arrive.
@tohar1 you should be fine by then. It’s unusual for a big storm to head that way. I expect things to start getting fixed soon. Not that populated (relatively) and pretty good infrastructure support. Some remote areas including what you mention might have landslides but should be cleared by then. For local conditions you can watch WLOS.com online to see weather and conditions before you get there.
@tohar1 some parts of Blue Ridge Parkway close normally on first Winter snows. Don’t think this would affect where you plan to go. There is a chance if there is road damage they might close sections of it ahead of time. Portion near Asheville usually kept open all year but the parts that go to hilltops and ridges often close for season. If there is enough snow (not always) people do either hiking or cross-country skiing. But that’s later and probably not affecting area you mentioned. I’ve actually never been there myself since I’m only there part-time, but they are on my list.
@pmarin So now the town in which we scheduled to stay (Castle Rock, NC) is GONE! Washed Away!! Way more for the residents to worry about than if a couple from Fargo, ND is spending time/money there…
I’m sure the full details of this storm is going to go down in history! If anyone is so inclined, please say a prayer for the people of the Asheville, NC, and the entire region surrounding it!!
@tohar1 Yes seems way worse than I expected. News here:
Someone shared: LIVE UPDATES: Air rescue underway for Lake Lure / Chimney Rock Village residents
… sorry link didn’t work, go to wlos.com which is only local TV station.
From my friends there, no more cell service, no water (in addition to no power and home internet). A friend biked to town a few miles; there was an emergency relief setup with power for charging, and internet. Also food and water for those that needed it. All major highways closed. Reminded me of the time in Santa Cruz after the 1989 Earthquake.

@Num1Zero we’ve stopped planning around Florida. Too chaotic on a good day.
@jouest @Num1Zero Florida is too full of its own self importance anyway.
I’d be in for 2 sets if only they were in some sort of camo pattern. If I actually went somewhere away from the city these days and needed to break this out, I probably don’t want to be found.

@kuoh you’d be camouflaged at Home Depot though
@jouest I don’t know about that. They’re usually in more of a dull orange and when you actually need help locating something, they’re almost as rare as finding Bigfoot. Last thing I need is a line of people outside of my tent asking where the toilet float and sprinkler heads are.

Looks like 3 smallish tarps for < $3.34 each. Plus the doggie accessories. Not too bad.

In response to your “Cheaper Than Anywhere Challenge” I submit to you a bona fide listing from eBay that is CHEAPER than your SideDeal Listing!
Your Offer:
eBay’s listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/335544808880
Sure, it’s only 5-cents less but it’s still CHEAPER! Time to pay up!! (P.S. - there are several cheaper listings but they are listed as “Open Box”).
@IndifferentDude No links to Cousin Joe’s closeout garage
@troy Well shucks! eBay actually has more than one of the Power Banks but not from the same seller. Close, but no cigar I guess.
@IndifferentDude Is that the one that catches fire, or is that the other one?
@IndifferentDude Mon Dieu! For five cents more here on Meh, you get a 90-day warranty, but the one on eBay is SOLD AS-IS. I call that a significant difference.
Good try, though.
@IndifferentDude @tnarg42 is it the one thing or the other? This shirt may help, though purists might say incorrect use of flowchart template.

It’s a little too late for me boyo. Gonna need a kayak at this point.
@AaronLeeJohnson Are you in Florida?!
@AaronLeeJohnson @Kyeh
Glad to see you still have cell signal or internet at least. Over 3 million people without power to the Helene coming through!

Interesting that this is selling BEST in Utah!!!

@bgammill @Eron also hunters won’t shoot you. Unless they are specifically hunting humans in orange.
Can’t always rule that out.
this cannot keep a margarita dry because a margarita is already wet
@user10513381 maybe a dry Martini then?
@user10513381 Shaken, not stirred.

Cheaper than Walmart?

@C3tex Maybe the extra 99 cents is the cost of not having bonus voice control.
So… then not 100% Polyester?
@natertots Hmm… I would guess the sacks they are stuffed in are polyester (fabric) as is the “paracord” and the poncho & tent are polyethylene.
