Been re-organizing my Get Home Bag. Still things I need/want to get.
At this point I don't have any type of shelter. Whicih one do you use and or recommend?

My main purpose is for my Get Home Bag so not looking for a long term tent. Option 1 Coulghan's tube tent, cheap light weight easy set up.
Option 2 vinyl/plastic tarp, also cheap a bit heavier and more set up involved.
Option 3 camo poncho, bit more expensive but not too much, heavier and more set up involved.

I'm leaning towards the poncho because of multi-purpose use.

I need your info to help me decide.

Thanks

It's gets cold in Jersey at night, especially if at all windy. I'd recommend either the tarp or the poncho, but also having a small wool blanket or at least a good thermal sweater with you as well.

I used to do spring and fall camping trips at Allaire State forest & in the Pine Barrrens as a kid, and I remember being very happy that I had a sleeping bag!

Even with "global warming" the 51st state still gets it's share of cold weather. I already have a sleeping bag that rests in the back of the Jeep. Very easy to strap to the bottom of the GHB.

Well I picked up an extra (already have on with my tent) 8 X 10 Camo tarp yesterday.
I was at an auto parts store picking up some stuff for a project and while wandering around I found a whole display of tarps.

Got a camo 8 X 10 for $6.99. For that price I couldn't pass it up. Has grommets already installed, although I haven't opened it yet so not sure how many or where other than each corner,

Still debating whether to get a tube tent or/and a poncho.

Tube tents are cheap, light and very compact. I can find them everywhere for less that $10.00 so I might just get both the tube tent and poncho.

Can anybody point me in the direction of a good, well proced poncho?

On the topic of this, I asked somewhere else but can't seem to remember which topic. I believe it may have been the one I made, however I am not sure. However, I will ask again as it would be helpful here as well.

Does anyone know where I could find a Tube Tent cheap? Same for a Poncho and a Tarp. I need a few more to complete all my families survival Kits and each of them want something different.
