My lasted video just went live. This week, I am making my own waxed canvas. Waxed canvas is very useful as a waterproof bag for storing items. I am using mine to make a foraging pouch that will fit my new 2" Bushbelt.

When you don't want to sleep under a bunch of widow-makers in the woods, you may have to sleep in the open. You may not have trees to set up a ridgeline, so use this new tarp shelter set-up, instead!
