I need to get myself a poncho (you know, a poncho... to keep the water away while camping and such) and well... I don't know a darn thing about them. Any suggestions?

For the money, you cannot beat this poncho. Go to www.cheaperthandirt.com and do a search for poncho. Look for the Swiss surplus alpenflage poncho for $7.97

For some reason that page won't link.

These are in great shape and tough as hell. If you want to spend a little more buy the new US poncho listed. It is no better made than the used Swiss one but some people don't like to buy used stuff.

Yes, army surplus ones are the way to go. Though I don't see why you don't just buy a raincoat.
