Howdy Folks! This video will focus on one style of The Poncho Shelter! It's quick, lightweight, easy, and effective!
After a long day of hiking and exploring, the last thing I want to do is spend a lot of time setting up a complicated camp. Especially when I'm traveling light, a great camp option is the poncho shelter.
Almost everything in item necessary to set up the camp has dual uses and purposes which eliminates a good bit of weight and bulk. While there are multiple poncho shelter hacks, I will only demonstrate one. The Deadfall Leanto.

$Make Your Own Gelled Alcohol! Make Your Own Gelled Alcohol! Three years ago when the great covid hoax started, I had a lot of extra time on my hands as I am certain most of you did as well. I discovered Hiram Cooks YouTube channel ( https://www.youtube.com/@MrHiramCook ). He Is a DIY Stove Guru! I watched several of his videos on gelled alcohol fuel and made a big batch of my own. The gelled alcohol fuel worked very well as a fuel alternative to solid fuel tabs when intense heat is not needed nor desired. I purchased Esbits rectangular solid fuel cook set and quickly found that the stove portion of the set was limited, as its size only afforded the use of solid fuel tabs. Solid fuel tabs have a lot of drawbacks. One of which is the heat is so intense that you can really only boil water with the thing. I experimented with gelled Sterno fuel in an Altoids tin and it worked great for actual cooking with the set. However the Sterno fuel was expensive and isnt available everywhere. I tried the Gelled Alcohol that Hiram taught me to make in an Altoids tin and It worked great! I can make my own gelled alcohol at a fraction of the cost of gelled Sterno and with the mount of the primary ingredient (calcium acetate) I have enough material on hand to make over 100 gallons of the stuff! Hiram hasnt posted a video in 6 years, but the vast catalog of videos he has posted are all worth watching for any and all camp stove enthusiast.
