After three days of messing about with this project, my new DIY-made Plash-Palatka is all finished and done, ready to go into my pack to accompany the 3x3m canvas Tarp for on the trail, hiking and Bushcraft undertakings.
Yes this has been a exhausting few day's with lot's of Tea poring down my throat, but was well worth it and I'm happy with the results.
Next on the task list is to put this small tarp-Poncho to a test in the wild ;-)

Since this video attracted quite some attention over the last year, specially regarding the pattern of the Palatka, I would like to share a link to the original Soviet field manual published in 1942
contains 34 pages about the Plash-Palatka cloak tent, Page-by-page: https://viewer.rsl.ru/ru/rsl01005261770?page=1&rotate=0&theme=white which showing the cloak in great details.
Another good source for the pattern can be found here: https://forum.ww2.ru/index.php?showtopic=6583 if you are only after the pattern drawings to make your own DIY Plash-Palatka.
