I found out to my horror that i will never own my cabin in the wood ..........
So a plan was hatched to build a canvas tent in the style of the old explorers ..
Dave Woods up at Military Mart has helped with the tent and other bits very helpful bloke ........Cheers Dave .
A Swedish army medical tent with a big wood burner ,,,ideal
Right then to be honest I brought the tent a few weeks back but due to making " Twodogs " this is the first weekend I have had the chance so its going up whatever the weather..
Pallets on a ground sheet ,,dont panic i intend to level them out ,,,
The tent bag is dated 1964 ....older than me ....just
The Tent canvas is dated 1973 ,,fantastic condition and very well made
Did I mention heavy ...
This box came with the tent .
Full of good stuff ,,Not the coffee K9 !!!
Anyone know what these are for ?
All the guys had the fittings spliced on ,,,nice touch
Stove jack fitted
And its up ,,
One wet but happy Twodogs
Next up will be leveling the pallets and fitting a slab to put the stove and reflector on ..
Right as I said at the start I want to give it an old school expedition look so I contaced Dave Woods up at Military Mart and brought some Swedish army pallet sides .
Much work later I have loads of wood with character to line the floor and sides ..
So when its done wood burner on the go , candles going ....wooden table ...
I will update as and when
