German Army Poncho

[Humakt]

Anyone know a good, reliable, stockist who has one of those rubberised German army ponchos?
I can find them online but I don't know how good the retailer is, so wondered if anyone knew a decent stockist who had them.
Cheeeeeeeeeeers

hello mate, i dont have an army poncho, but i do have a very heavy duty, good quality, rubberish poncho which un-snaps down the seams so it can be used as a tarp which i am unlikely to use again, id be happy to send it to you if you gave me an address?

That sounds just like the kind I was after. But I've managed to get hold of one now so no longer need one. The offer is gratefully appreciated though. Cheers.

On a connected note, what glue would you use to repair a German poncho? Mine's got a tear where the cotton tie inside has pulled. I was thinking the glue from a cycle repair kit.

Thanks.

The next question is do I have any? I think I do. Otherwise a quick visit to the Pound shop.

hello,
BTW.. the transparent plastic container that the puncture repair outfit comes with it makes an excellent FSK tinderbox.. just my 2p worth. :p

Be aware "RUBBER SOLUTION "in tyre repair kits is for the "new"thin vulcanising patchs and aint like the PROPER RUBBER SOLUTION of old.I'd go for a good contact adiesive.

hello,
Whoo hoo.. Midas is back (calm down David) :o a tube of EvoStik serious glue should do the trick. If you've already purchased a puncture repair outfit stick with it (pardon the pun) :p the contents can still be used in Bushcraft/Survival EDC kit rubber patches are good for fire starting & the tin a FSK container in itself. :campfire:
