Thursday, January 19th, 2012HPG Mountain Serape – Converting from Poncho to Greatcoat
Sunday, January 8th, 2012This is a great tutorial on how to convert your HPG Mountain Serape from Poncho to Greatcoat mode. Be sure to watch the video very closely. It explains a lot.
New Kifaru Woobie Image
Wednesday, December 21st, 2011Since apparently guys wearing jeans can’t use woobies, Kifaru has succumbed to pressure from those who won’t buy anything from them anyway and put up a new photo of the excellent reversible MultiCam to Coyote Woobie.
Woobies rock. Get yours at and send us a photo of you using it while wearing jeans. We’ll reward you with an SSD morale patch.
Hill People Gear Mountain Serapes
Tuesday, December 13th, 2011Although Hill People Gear continues to tease us with tidbits of info about their Mountain Serape, it looks like there is finally some light at the end of the tunnel.
The Mountain Serape is based on the tried and true poncho design but HPG has added a hood, drawstring, and unique (patent pending) zipper arrangement that turns it into a greatcoat or a half zip sleeping bag. Designed to be thrown on in cold weather when you stop moving or when lying up, it can also be used as a warmer weather sleeping bag or in conjunction with a bag to increase its range. Additionally, this is a great product for survival use or for conditions where packing light is a necessity.
Weighing in at only 34 ounces, it features a DWR coated mini ripstop face fabric with 2.4oz primaloft fusion insulation. The Mountain Serape is available for pre-order in Foliage or Coyote.

Kifaru Woobie Update
Thursday, December 8th, 2011Kifaru has updated their website with some photos of the newest version of their reversible Woobie/Doobie in Coyote and MultiCam. Combining RhinoSkin Shell with ClimaShield combat insulation, it makes a great replacement for the issue poncho liner.
Kifaru Releases MultiCam/Coyote Woobies
Wednesday, November 16th, 2011Kifaru Tactical has just updated their excellent Woobie and Doobie. They are now offering both in a reversible, two-tone MultiCam/Coyote color combination. The Woobie was originally envisioned as a modern replacement for the USGI poncho liner. It combines RhinoSkin Shell with ClimaShield combat insulation. The Woobie uses 2 oz/square yard of insulation and the Doobie (Double Woobie) uses 4 oz/square yard of insulation.
Kifaru invested in the RhinoSkin Shell material so other products will also be offered in the new colors. For example, Slick Bags will also be available in either MultiCam or Coyote with OD interiors.
I got a Woobie several years ago when they were first released and it has weathered very well. Much better than the issue item. Granted, it costs more, but I have to remind of my old adage; “Buy Quality, Cry Once.” The issue poncho liner will never insulate like this thing.
