...It's fun acclimatising to the jargon - bivis, bashas, hootchies, billies and my personal
favourite 'poncho liner'

"Poncho Liner" actually isn't jargon. That is exactly what the are; liners to be tied inside of an issue poncho used as a makeshift sleeping bag. T least that was the original intended use. They kinda took on a life all their own. The jargon term for them is "woobie."

otherwise it might be in order to add things like WS - whoopie sling, UCR - utility constrictor rope, UQ - under quilt, TQ - top quilt
