Traditional twine (4mm) and rope (6mm) made from the fine threads of the hemp plant, coated with tar. Tarred yarn has been used aboard sailing ships for rigging, to serve and knot tying, as well as for tying the so-called ratΙines and hanks for centuries, it has been very common throughout the centuries in wilderness areas where it became a basic supply for pioneers. Historically these yarns were made from hemp which had to be impregnated in "Swedish tar" for conservation. Wood tar is washed out by rain and spindrift after a year, until then it is Water and UV resistant. Apply some amount of oil/wax reproofing cream to keep the rope as efficient as the first day. By the way... our tarred rope is resistant to the occasional open flame and it's a great tinder! But how does a rope with these two characteristics work and what extra capabilities does it have? Process the rope fibers to make a bird's nest. Throw high temperature sparks by the means of a ferrocerium rod or similar. It will catch the sparks amazingly! The flame the nest will provide will be very ample, hot and fast: this is called a Flash Tinder. Do you want a more sustainable flame? Use separate yarns of your rope as kindling or just press more tightly some parts of the nest you created, it will help maintain a flame for longer. Blowing into it will restart your flame! Expose a piece of rope to a flame long enough until it finally catches on fire, voilà! You just created a portable flame: this makeshift candle works because of the infused tar in the rope, as it melts and feeds the natural hemp fibre. Not enough light? Wrap a good amount of rope around the end of a branch and light it, you will be crafting a Fire Torch in no time thanks to the waterproofing formula. (If your branch has some resin at the end of it, you add some wax, oil or fat to it, you will make it last longer)

Be prepared with our Merino wool beanie for men and women. A handy and warm watch cap that has been a staple for bushcrafters, sailors and woodspeople during the past 100 years. For whatever mother nature throws your way. Our Merino Wool fabric regulates the amount of moisture on your skin by absorbing any moisture or sweat on your body. Then, the absorbed moisture evaporates out of the fabric into the atmosphere. Wool will also absorb up to 30% of its weight in moisture without feeling wet or clammy. If you do get wet, wool will insulate you better than cotton or polyester materials. Our spanish Merino Wool has a low environmental footprint and naturally returns to the elements. Shear a Merino sheep in the cold castillian morning, and in the afternoon they’re happily nibbling their way towards renewing next season’s clip. Made in Spain

They're convenient and light, it means that it will be there when you need it most: whether for sitting upon in campgrounds after cooking over a fire pit; kneeling down while walking through wet brushwood with kindling and tinder boxes clutched within our hands; resting atop moist logs during those long hours searching for something unusual among these proud trees... and more importantly than any of this…. What we like even more is having some extra cushioning when it becomes really important: such as during off-the-grid trips in which every ounce matters (or simply if we're being honest - ALL THE TIME!). These things are handmade by someone who knows how much abuse they'll take before falling apart without weighing a ton! Made in Spain

Carrying your firewood back to camp or to the cabin has never been easier! Our Oilskin & Leather Log Carrier is a convenient way to carry firewood; built from sturdy and reliable 10 oz. 100% oiled and waxed cotton canvas, it has been added heavy duty premium leather handles and reinforcement bands made from 6 oz. full grain cowhide, and will quickly develop a handsome saddle tan patina.

It will keep your wood protected from nearby water, and if the wood itself is a bit wet, it will protect the area you leave it on. It can of course act as a mat to do some work on, and many of our friends have tried using it as a chair by hanging it from two nearby trees. We are so proud of all our products that we guarantee this log carrier to be able to hold up to 200kg (450lb) If you can carry the load, the Log Carrier will too! These carriers can be cleaned with a damp rag, or a brush with water and soap if a deeper cleaning is needed. Our famous Bushcraft Wax or beeswax can be used to re-coat the canvas over time if desired. These carriers are built to endure years of hard service. Made in Spain

WHAT IS MERINO WOOL?
Merino wool is a natural fiber grown by Merino sheep (oveja merina). It originated and was improved in Extremadura in the XII and XIII centuries, being instrumental in the economic development of Spain, which held a monopoly on the trade in its thinner and softer wool. We choose to work with Merino wool because it’s one of the most adaptable materials on Earth: each fiber naturally helps regulate body temperature, transports sweat away as a vapor, and cancels out odors; these benefits make it the ideal performance material for exploring nature. Every single woolen item in our store is 100% Made in Spain, respecting the old ways of wool processing, our cattle, our artisans and our clients. Our machinery is over 100 years old and it doesn’t look as if it will quit anytime soon. Finally, the fabric is exposed in the dry and sunny days of the valleys of León to get rid of any moisture. We love taking care of the process as much as you will enjoy taking it in your adventures. It’s in our tradition and spirit. The King Size (200cm x 250cm) and the Twin Size (200cm x 140cm) 100% Pure Merino Wool Blankets are a staple for every outdoor enthusiast or rustic decorator; each piece is unique. They will keep you toasty warm thanks to their wonderful properties and natural thistle carding. Either during a camp in the wilderness as well as on a cold night at the cabin, these classic pieces will delight all. Combine it with our new Nessmuk Tarp to have a historically accurate, wind and water resistant, toasty and warm bedroll for your classic camp! -

We're proud to announce the Whelen Lean-to Tent !The Whelen Lean-To Tent is one of the classic shelter for bushcrafters, hunters, anglers and camper. It was designed by Colonel Townsend Whelen, who was looking for a possibly lightweight way to go about back in the 1920’s, so it was, that in 1926 he developed what he would call the “Hunter’s Lean-to”. In 1901 a young Spanish American War veteran walked out of the Canadian bush. He was 24 years old, over six feet tall, with a 44 inch chest and a 29 inch waist. Dressed in a fringed buckskin shirt, jodhpurs, high-top moccasins and a campaign hat, Townsend Whelen was well on his way to establishing his place in the pantheon of great outdoorsmen. He carried a typically light outfit. By 1915 he was back in the U.S. Army as a captain with the 29th Infantry Regiment defending the Panama Canal in unmapped country. Whelen set out to explore the Panamanian jungle whenever time away from his duties allowed—always with a rucksack and a light-weight kit. Whelen remained in the military until retirement in 1936. He is perhaps best known today among readers of hunting and military small arms literature. He wrote at least a half a dozen books and was a regular contributor to Field and Stream among others. Through it all, Whelen camped. And even though he had experience with about every kind of shelter available to the sport at the time—his choice, again and again was—the tarp, evolved in the Whelen Tent. This shelter allows you to have a campfire in the front, but its generally even more open to the surrounding, doesn’t have the sewn in floor, and therefore weighs considerably less. This design, which almost has the appearance of half a tent is more than adequate for anything short of -20 degrees or severe bugs. A sloped rear roof, slanted and splayed sides, and a short fore roof panel. Light and easy to pack. The loops along the ridge can be used for tying to external pole set up. Loops on back seams for roping out if the need comes up. This 5kg ( 11lbs ) sturdy 10oz canvas tent has an area, in the standard configuration, of 8m² ( 86sqft) and will shelter comfortably up to 4 people! It can be packed to approx. 40cm x 40cm x 10cm ( 16" x 16" x 4" ) or a 25cm x 50cm (10" x 20") roll; perfect for our Premium Camp Kit's Leather Shoulder Carrier. We were pioneers in the manufacture of Oilskin Tarps in Europe and they gained their fame across the World. The next step was creating tents such as the Whelen Lean-to Tent. It’s a classic, sturdy shelter and an amazing tent with a very interesting history. Its Water,Rot and Mildew Repellant treatment will certainly improve your experience in the woods.
