Great "How To"! Thanks so much for taking the time to teach others.
Just two comments from a "newbie" if you don't mind. ;-)
1. Colour of the para cord: check Dollar store for some 'glow in the dark' tape ... a few pieces tied on each cord would help at night, and double as 'blaze' markers too.
2. Again from Dollar store, perhaps add one of those inexpensive 'emergency ponchos' (that weigh almost nothing) to your kit so you can stay fairly dry while using your good poncho for shelter.
Cheers, J

this is fine in a pinch.
Any wind, cold weather, driving rain or even little rain on ground with poor drainage (splash splash) and this becomes a wet setup.
This will keep you out of the sun, block some wind in one direction, mild rains and give you some added moral in an emergency situation.
So... it works for what it works with!! Good show and thanks for sharing!

I could see this working even better with a buddy system. Pitch both ponchos as shown but mirror it to become an A frame, and use the other 2 hiking poles to tie out the sides. Great vid!

what if the rain goes the other way...

great idea thanks. Is there any advantage to the prusik knot over a taut-line hitch?

It is really a matter of preference. You are right that the taut-line hitch holds better in high winds but then is I find it is harder to loosen. The other knot that might work well is the Klemheist. This is a directional only knot but would work well in this application.
