peacock of wilderness innovation and but I do something that I don't know if I've ever done or don't often do it and that is show you some products that are in development some things that are probably pretty close to coming to market that we're working on and and I'm a I'm a and I'm dumped here doing a camping video too so as part of that I may show a little too little detail of some of these things and so anyway but this this particular clip here will be you know kind of the pertinent information of what we got going on here and so starting out with I've got this a little disk right here that fits right in my pocket very nicely I've been using a variation of this for starting about maybe darn near two years ago when I've been carrying this one I've tweaked it a couple of times but Cech live carry this one for over a year and what it is is it's a bank line dispenser this will hold this is a number this is number 12 so it holds 100 and 105 pound test and it'll hold you know it'll hold over a hundred feet on here I actually haven't measured it lately but we'll have all those figures for you for we come to mark with it but it's made out of kydex you can make one yourself if you want to but but anyway this this diameter actually fits in the bottom of a of any of our cylindrical gear bag so in your poncho bag and your tarp bag survival kit bag any of that sort of thing this thing can drop right in the bottom of it and it's about a half-inch thick and it's very tough and durable I mean I'm and beating the heck out of it but it works really nice because anytime i will show you show you some old clips using the stuff but anytime you need and you just pull it out of here you put your fingers kind of in that middle section and spool off whatever you need or well i don't know if this is in the picture or not i think it is you can even put it on a branch of a tree and and you can split off of there and so it makes it really nice and convenient very simple very straightforward no other bells and whistles on it I've experimented with putting a cutter blades and other kind of dispenser reels and all that kind of thing and I just come back to this it's you know me I mean it's a simple simplifying survival suit you know simple and straightforward works well you know really nothing to go wrong with it it's got a slight radius here on the edges which helps just kind of keep your court in your threat your court inside what I do to lock it in there is I just I just pull back one side and pull it around it pulls it kind of the side of the rest of the spool and I hold it in place just fine i had made some models before where I drilled holes he could put it through and all that knows just kind of a pain so again back to being simple just do that so bank line dispenser that'll be coming up I'm not sure we're probably going to go ahead and offer it we're definitely going to include it in some deluxe kits like deluxe deluxe poncho kits or special editions kits or something like that alright so if you if you've ever watched our videos over the years you know the one thing that we've showed you several videos on how you can take to Pancho's and you can link them together connect them together to make a large larger tarp or something like that and and granted it's not like you know one solid piece start because it's made up of two pieces

but you know we've done pretty well Ben and I have been out before in the in the late winter where it's kind of snowy drizzly rain a little bit snapped our two types together or to Pancho's together and you know made a shelter out oh nice and cozy so I mean it is doable the thing I didn't like about the the method and you can use that method any punch we've ever made if you want to go back watch some more videos in the in the PSS the punch of playlist on YouTube you have to flip one's right side up once i upside down around this way and you can snap them together so it's not the cutest thing in the world but it does work it makes a nice shelter I mean it it'll it'll keep a lot of elements off if you really need it but what I've always wanted to do is to make that little process a little better to make it you know a little more effective and everything and a little easier to do and to make it so both of your Poncho's can be oriented the same way so I tried a number things on the last couple years and I came up with this this isn't the bag you're probably come in a bag or like this this is just a tent stake back from a tart because they have tons of them someone is so what it is is it's a it's a snap strip on a parachute on a line of parachute cord and so these snaps i hear their wings snaps so there's so there's a snap on both sides and so you just start at one you lay your ponchos out and like one here one here will show you the minute and you just start snapping them together and slide on up to the next set when you get to the other end you've got both tarps snap together and they're pretty they're pretty close together there's not much of any capital and so that's that's the mechanical part of holding the holding the Poncho's together and you would be perfectly okay just having this will probably offer this as an independent item

and you can just use that which makes a quickie little way that will you know it'll shut you up pretty darn good especially if we kind of think about how you set up depending on your weather circumstances you could make just this with to Pancho's very doable and in and you need one of these for every additional punch oh so you could you know you could hook two three four five six together you can do you go back to watch my meeting view three on one side three on the other on a frame they show you how you can overlap that make that work so you have a six poncho shelter which is pretty large but here's the other thing we have right here and and this is our cover strip so I wanted to have I wanted to have something to give a little bit more weather protection so this things about five inches wide and so it has enough coverage to kind of span the span where your to Pancho's come together and this will be something either an optional item probably or you could get the whole thing as a kit the connector snaps and the cover or you could get this this just this just the connectors get the cover separate what the cover is is it's a matching fabric to one of your Poncho's are and the and inside of here we've we've obtained some very thin kydex and we've at we've actually sewn it in here with our sewing machine and sew sew that strip runs all the way around which helps give a little bit of strength and support to this thing as it lays out over your to punch oh snap together and it's got some little hooks and it's got tae out tabs and stuff just some I always like to have I always like to have some extra stuff so case you know in case you need to tie it out some other way or whatever how to hate to leave people stranded so anyway so we're going to we're going to show you here in a moment some details about how we set all this up and okay so I've done that now you see the other the other wing of this thing so one goes to one poncho you're the wing to the other one you come down to this next one that I just snapped we do the same thing again and we just keep on moving down right here all right so here's my shelter while you've just snapped together to panchos these are the long p SS l eight eight feet long just a little under five feet wide alright so get the cover strip out and they going to show you this on one end of the cover strip the Kydex that's in there is folded over right there right there right there so what that does is make it so that you can let us through that over the top and go down the backside but that doesn't make it so you can hook this first in right there and then we go on the back side we can pull it down well here's the so here's the shelter made up sweeping around for easily for two people plus some gear that sort of thing not bad little shelter for two for two punches that's easy to join them together and the reef pretty pretty pretty decently weatherproof alright so what I did here is I rotated the the poncho tarp set up by 90 degrees so that we're running lengthwise right to left and sit up up and down and then I pitch this out as a this is an open canopy kind of a frame canopy so I mean there's there's tons there's so many ways you can set this up now here's

the the bank line comes in I'm going to use that to tie off here and I usually just use one of those Swedish not say just I use two fingers instead of my whole hand works good specially on small stuff gives you little tell you can grab two under your nut then you see we just run this out ever file we need and allow a little extra work with and we're pretty good pound us a stake right here this might be a little tougher going in because the grounds will dry right here just do that way don't have to pull on it really tight just enough to get us go in here when I taut line hitch in there slide it
