I was issued goretex as well, still have all my goretex to boot..... but a standard poncho obviously has utility all over

Agreed, I retired seven years ago and still use my poncho for a shelter a couple times a month.

Hennessy hammocks are very good, I have one. But my next one will be a Blackbird (pricey, but good)

My second choice would be an ENO Doublenest with 'slap straps' (much cheaper, but with no net)

Best tarp/hooch I've ever come across is Kifaru's "Super Tarp", which is super lightweight, very strong and packs down to something the size of a canteen. The Super tarp also can add an "Annex" door (purchased separately) which allows for one of the Kifaru (or other) lightweight folding stoves to be used inside and vented out. Everything now comes in either a dark Coyote Brown color or white. Not cheap stuff, but Kifaru gives a lifetime guarantee for normal wear and tear and treats military personnel like royalty.
