camp cot

[olflint40]

Gentlemen & ladies, I,m looking for a picture or plans for a camp cot. If you have one, I would like to see pics.

The Book of Buckskinning II has pictures, plans, and step-by-step construction of a Rev War canvas/wood cot based on surviving examples, descriptions, and paintings/drawings from back then.

And it's not too much different from modern wood/canvas cots - except it does not fold up into a compact bundle.

Hope this helps.

If you will follow this long link to Marcy's book, you will find pictures of a couple of folding cots:

Scroll down to the contents page to chapter five and click on camp furnishings, or scroll down to page 125 and start looking at pictures.
