Product info

Here you have it: the Genuine Nessmuk Oilskin Tarp, or as he liked to call it, his Shelter-Cloth. Follow the steps of the Grandfather of Bushcraft, George Washington Sears. The compact and light 2×2,5 meter cotton canvas weighs around 1,8kg / 3lb 8oz and it proved more than enough on multiple of his adventures in the Adirondacks. The tarp is finished with 9 sturdy loops for your comfort. Its layer of wax and oil provides resistance to water, which will slide down the tarp, thus making it very waterproof.

Bushcraft Spain are pioneers in the manufacture of Oilskin Tarps in Europe and gained their fame across the World. Lots have been put into their composition: The Nessmuk Tarp follows the specifications Nessmuk gave in his book Woodcraft and Camping: "A soft, warm blanket-bag, open at the ends, and just long enough to cover the sleeper, with an oblong square of water-proofed cotton cloth 6×8 feet, will give warmth and shelter by night and will weigh together five or six pounds."

Bushcraft Spain took a note of this, and since George Washington Sears weighed 47kg and measured 160cm, the Shelter-Cloth had to be modified slightly to be able to cover the bigger campers of today: Bushcraft Spain added some inches in its width and length to become the handy tarp that many love.
