SOLD to Wattsy!
I have another old bit of Austrian army kit for sale.
This one's in really good condition and available for at £65 including delivery.
It's cotton canvas and reversible, with a different camo pattern on each side. Vents also have covers on both sides (unlike the Polish lavvu).
Four piece construction with each piece buttoning to the next. Double buttoning at each point (in fact it has more buttons on it than you can shake a stick at). A single, central, four-piece aluminium pole supports with eight pegs, one at each corner for guying out.
It's similar to the Polish lavvu but I've never tried to figure out if it can be worn as a poncho (it doesn't have draw-cords to form the hood but does have vents/armholes). There are multiple additional buttons which are not used when set up as a tent and suggest another use is intended. Two pieces can be buttoned together and allow it to be used as tarp.
The canvas is in very good condition overall with no damage from mildew. Reproofing wouldn't be a bad idea and it would benefit from adjustable straps at the pegging points rather than static cord to make tensioning easier.
The pegs are really super; heavy duty aluminium and especially good in soft ground due to their width.
Also comes with the original guy rope to allow you to pitch only 2 or 3 of the sections, leaving the front open, if you wish.
Total weight is approx 7kg.
Height is 1.48m
It's octagonal in shape with each side approx 1.4m in length (For comparison Polish lavvu has sides approx 0.95m).
Approximately 2.8m in diameter and easily sleeps 2 with kit.
Please note the pictures below are not of the actual one I have for sale although it is identical. These pictures show the other one I used and sold last November.
First to PM secures.
Buyer to pay PayPal fees.
Cheapest post option will be used unless otherwise agreed.
Thanks,
Tom
