Pathfinder Poncho Pole Shelter Kit
The Pathfinder Poncho Poles are expertly crafted to be used with the Helikon Style Military Poncho for constructing a dome-shaped shelter. This combination offers a versatile and essential shelter option for everyday use or in emergency situations. You can utilize it as a low profile shelter, lean-to that has structure to provide extra space and rigidity, or as a roof by hanging it on four corners with tie outs or poles.
The Pathfinder Poncho Pole Shelter Kit includes an Emergency blanket that can be used to create a radiant heat reflector shelter in harsh winter conditions. This kit checks all the boxes for a lightweight, durable, and multi-functional shelter that can be used throughout the year.

Emergency Blanket
Folded, the blanket is about the size of a pack of playing cards. Our individually packaged emergency blankets open up to a generous size of approximately 84" by 52". Most commonly used for emergency first aid and wilderness survival, these little wonders are capable of a multitude of other uses making them perfect for 72 hour and first aid kits!
The blankets are a metalized plastic sheet, which can help prevent or treat hypothermia, act as a windbreaker, and can be worn as an emergency waterproof wrap. Importantly, their reflective property makes them easily seen from a distance, so use your blanket as an emergency signaling device.
Since they reflect up to 90% of radiated body heat, they are also widely utilized in non-emergency situations as body wraps to keep athletes warm after a marathon or other sports activity. For these reasons, emergency blankets are indispensable and carried by Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT) among other emergency disaster agencies.
