Hey scott ive got you a mini charcloth maker from Martin pm me your addy and ill post that too :super:
When you say that the genuine ones have pop studs, do you mean actual poppers? Mine doesn't have these but it does seem very well made, very industrial feeling.

Charcloth maker it free matie! Martin made them and give one to me for ya, just need your address to post it to you 
): Private message it to me though :yikes:, Yeah they have heavy duty popstuds on em so you can make a larger shelter by poppin two or more together and reinforced taped loops 6 per side and 4 (i think) down the center and on each end but whether its a mod one or not if it keeps you dry and you like it its a pukka one just because the MOD have it dont make it the best, ):

Re: MilitaryKit.com/Basha. I recently purchased a basha from them. They do have bashas on their website. However, the tarp you receive is not the one shown in the picture. The one they send you has no eyelets (webbing loops only) and the ridge-line attachment points are not how they should be. It does have press-studs but they are not really adequate to creating a water resistant join, as the studs are female on one side and male on the other. If you wanted to join two together and have an overlapping join to prevent water coming in, the male studs would have to be on both sides of the sheet. I believe it is made by Pro-Force, but they need to do a bit of re-designing with this product.

Wow, this is a seriously old thread to drag up! The issue shelter sheets are fetching a premium at the mo often selling for £50 or even more though they are silnylon now. Reproduction ones are cheap enough though. http://www.survivalaids.com/pro-force-multi-terrain-basha-hmtc
