The weather is whacked. In spite of satellite imagery and weather prediction programs, weather prediction is not an exact science. It rains when it’s not supposed to rain and snow when it’s not supposed to snow. That’s why it’s best to be always prepared. You just don’t know when bad weather will hit you. That’s why I always have an emergency rain poncho.

An emergency rain poncho will can keep you dry when it’s raining. A lot of people ask me, “why not use an umbrella?” My answer is, “can you use an umbrella when it’s raining and you have to change a flat tire?” Sometimes, when it’s raining, you need the use of both hands. The good thing about emergency ponchos is they are cheap, light and don’t take up much space. They are also disposable.
