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.

Customer Reviews
The Pathfinder Pole Shelter Kit is extremely versatile. I'm keeping mine in my main pack along with a spare set of OneTigris poles as part of my EDC. In addition to countless other applications, it makes an excellent sun shade (which I employed recently) as well as a quick deploy duck in shelter in inclement weather. The quality materials, thoughtfulness of design and ease of use are exceptional. I couldn't be happier with this kit and highly recommend it.
I haven't had the chance to try it out yet. But by looking at it, looks like it will be a helpful piece of kit.
