>>2723591Just to follow up on this, seems like the Russians had the same idea when phasing out the plash-palatka. Replacing the old square plash-palatka poncho, their 'new' ratnik shelter is a rectangular tarp. Less wide but considerably longer, so that fits a man better lengthwise. Again, picrel.
But yeah, the ratnik is no longer a poncho, so at that point I'd just get a regular tarp.
