MilSurp Poncho/Liner

[mpollan1]

I have some lightweight ponchos in the vehicles for me and the Missus, but decided I'd like to get some more substantial gear. Found the liners at Midway at what appears to be a decent price (~$20) but no ponchos. Any pointers?

Thanks, nothing there that catches my eye but perhaps I do not know what to look for. What material is the ticket? Rubberized? Nylon? Other? Do want water proof.

US GI poncho liners suck for warmth. Kifaru woobies are amazing. Expensive, but are substantial for better warmth. Highly water resistant so much that you can use them as a ground cloth as well. Mine goes with me everywhere in the car and certainly camping.

Woobie/Doobie - Kifaru International

Here’s some info on green eggs.

The Reason Scrambled Eggs Turn Green - Mashed

There's nothing quite like a plate of freshly-cooked scrambled eggs. Oh, wait — why do they look green? If your eggs looks green and they're not supposed to, it's natural to wonder if there's something wrong with them. Were the eggs rotten before you cooked them?
