Poncho can be used as a tarp, and will easily cover a bergen too. It's pretty heavy at 900g, but it's 100% waterproof. I'll be using it this Saturday as my only shelter, so I'll let you know how it fares!
I was very tempted by the Hazard 4 Poncho Villa, and I'll probably buy one next week regardless, but thought I'd try out a cheap version before I spank lots of cash on something fancy.
Only issue might be the hood area. Make sure you can keep that as tight as possible. I opted for a twig to keep it taught. As long as the run off from the hood won't wick water or hold water, then you're good mate.
Get us some pics. Will be good to see how it goes.
