Hello tylkogosc, that boat palatka is incredible!! Just wondering which way out the Polish army pitch these tents as I can't seem to make up my mind. Thanks for the link

I have just taken ownership of one of these fantastic tarps and have got it up over my polish poncho tent using the ridge line method. Just wondering whether there are some good resources for beginners here on the forum and pictures for ideas, guys and other fittings that come in handy. Cheers,

Good stuff- I'm not far away- near Attleborough. Once harvest is off the list will have more time on my hands. Cheers!

Thanks for the warm welcome! After just taking ownership of my polish poncho tent, I have used it with the buttons on the inside and also buttons on the outside. Just wondering which way the material should be, is there a correct way? cheers!

Hello! I've been a member of SOTP canoe forum for a couple of years now and finally signed on to BCUK due to the vast array of info available on here and also to say thanks for all the great info on the polish military poncho tents. Picked one up last weekend and am more than happy with it. Fred

Thanks for all the info on these incredible tents. I picked one up from Essex Surplus in Chelmsford last weekend and camped out down that way. I was impressed at how cosy the tent was!
