FUK.NUT · July 5th, 2009, 23:14

Soon i'll be buying a swiss poncho/half shelter for a cover over my OD uniform i was wondering if anyone had any information to make the poncho look like how the soldiers are wearing in the Link
anything would be great to know how.

Thanks.

It would help if you bought a German one. It's called a "Zeltbahn". They are actually cut a specific way to allow it to be worn as a poncho. There are lots of repros out there, but you can still find original ones pretty cheap.

I can see the German one is a Triangle design so is the swiss one thank you very much for this info .

I've got a poncho/shelter that is similar to this but a bit different. I want to know if anyone knows what type this one is:

Shape:

Its 49 " tall, 139" wide (at points) The little rectangles are double slits. I think they are for arm holes. It has metal buttons and button holes all around, and about 20 metal grommets.

Hmm, I think its a ground tarp or a tent shelter half. Snap two halfs together, run a rope down the center and you have a simple A-frame tent shelter.

That's what I was thinking. On its own it makes a good lean-to, with sides.
Just wondering if one of the experts here can identify who (german, italian..etc) that it was from. I bought it at a surplus store, that has alot of used stuff.

It would be german Bundeswehr from the flecktarn camo.

Thanks for the help guys. With all the extra info I was able to find this:
"Dackelgarage" Bundeswehr two-man-tent - One Sixth Warrior Forum

It's a 1/6 scale version of my poncho/shelter. SO you can see how two of them would make a complete tent.

Cool, now I need to make the poles and pegs. It will still work as a leanto shelter, since I only have one!

I have one. And its woodland camo. Its pretty simple to wear and use it as a tent. The size is square with buttons all around the edges and a hole with hood in the middle. Just snap all the buttons together and you can have it as a poncho. U might need a long stick and a few ropes to use it as a tent. I got mine from Beaver surplus on Dufferin close to Yorkdale Mall. If you leave around this area
