2010年3月21日 · Oilskin, with waxed cotton as a close second. (per the parameters of the poll, but my true favorite is Ventile Cotton) No mess near the cook stove, never needs to be cleaned, etc.

2010年3月21日 · Oilskin is treated with a wax that is softened by mixing with oil. Waxed cotton is cloth treated with wax that is softened, with oil. Having worn and owned many drover style oilskin coats and Filson waxed Tin cloth garments, and having used both commercial and home made products for reproofing them, I will go out on a limb and state that they ...

2019年2月5日 · Essentially I've been looking for a nice old fashioned tarp to use as a shelter for camping. My problem is canvas is too heavy and expensive as well as oilskin (at least at my income). I've seen people make oilskin tarps out of bed sheets and linseed oil but I hear wax and oil treated tarps become tacky overtime and in the heat.

2014年12月19日 · I have been trying different mixtures lately, my goal is to get as close as to the manufacturers mixtures as possible(I.E. Barbour, duckback etc.). This would mainly include having that oilskin feel, texture, durability and water replant without that heavy smell to it. I love barbours thornproof dressing, I think so far it is the best I have used.

2015年6月25日 · Im looking to purchase a tent smiths oilskin tarp. It will mostly be used as a 1 man shelter, and im stuck between 9x9 and 10x10 and even 8x8 if it is sufficient size . There doesnt seem to be a huge difference in weight or price, but is the extra weight worth the extra space? here is the comparison

2024年6月17日 · Apologies for the length of this and I know it's a topic you might think has been been done to death but I have some questions that I can't get an answer to from any of the threads. (Some quick background: I have some 8oz canvas that I want to waterproof before making into a poncho-tarp - like...

2021年2月20日 · Some folks in the historical trekking community use quality, high thread count, cotton sheets to make tarps exactly as your idea. The thing they suggest though is to use a product called Nikwax Cotton Proof for waterproof rather than doing oilskin. Oilskin/ wax coatings add weight which kinds of forfeits the otherwise light weight of a cotton ...

2019年3月27日 · Well it happened, had a few extra bucks last week and my order came in. I've always had a wool Pendleton but with the amount of rain in southern Oregon here on the coast I've always wanted an oilskin hat. Well today it showed up and I'm stoked! Just in time for summer too haha! Good ole outback trading, looking at a jacket next.

2015年8月6日 · This way I'll have a poncho available for immediate use without having to undo my blanket roll. It can be used in conjunction with the first one to allow for an oilskin layer both above and below the wool blanket for sleeping. Since it is dimensionally smaller, its overall weight is lighter than a 10' x 10' oilskin tarp.
