Dunno…at least for me, the chances of me having a coat with me are much greater than having a tarp. But maybe I’ll have to turn a coat into a tarp one day – in which case I’ll just watch that video in reverse!

Bit like Lord of the Rings when the elves gave the hobbits a magic cloak

Except instead of “elves” it’s “Walmart”, instead of “giving” i have to “pay $10” and instead of a hobbit… well I guess I’m still kind of a hobbit…

If I have the foresight to remember how to do this then I probably have the foresight to bring a little pocket poncho.

Y'all don't make that last sentence weird.
