The poncho liner seems to be quite a versatile bit of kit - in the USA they seem very attached to them, even giving them a cute nickname -woobies -(so much so I actually bought a new US liner whilst I was over here!). As well as using as a blanket and attaching it to the poncho to make a 2-season bag, I got to wondering why no-one had ever mentioned cutting out a hole in it to enable it to be fitted inside a poncho whilst being worn as a poncho (to make a warm poncho!). It would obviously not then be particularly useful in blanket-mode unless still attached to the poncho with the hood drawn shut, but would still function as a sleeping bag (again with the hood drawn shut). And it would also function as a warm poncho on its own in dry weather........
Anyone tried this, or tell me why this is totally impractical? (And no, I'm not going to cut up my brand new US military liner to suck it and see! Maybe a cheapo second-hand one though.....)
