Shelter Half

If it was treated with waterproofing then it would be suitable, although quite heavy.

It is waxed cotton otherwise known as waxed canvas. It's fire retardant so you can have a fire decently close, but still use your brain /b/ro

Its duck canvas. And if it doesnt smell like utter ass any more. It needs to be rewaxed.

Thanks. It doesn't smell and feels like regular fabric so I'll have to re wax it. There are a couple of holes to patch too but that's not a huge problem.

if you're hoping to take this hiking, I'd advise against it. It's super heavy for what it is, won't work well without the other half, will take extra effort to set up and has no bug proofing. Cotton duck is such that you don't want to touch the sides if it's raining as water will come through.

Just get a cheap tarp and you'll be happier.

This. Your best bet is to sell it to some aging hippie on the Rivendell Bicycle Owners google group for $200. They love this kind of garbage.

This. Modern shelter halfs are pvc ponchos. They can be somewhat usefull. But waxed canvas is super heavy and almost worthless in anything wetter than a drizzle.

I made some pretty cool shelters out of ponchos back in the day. But over in the shit I never set one up once. I just slept on a cot if I had one or the ground if I didn't. Under the afghani stars.
