Heres a pic of my usual solo pack in shelter. If there are more than just myself and the dog we tend to pool canvas together into a hovel of sorts, I'll have to see if I can find a pic or two of one.

Although the picture is not mine, I like this one:

:haha: I wish sometimes...like Claude said, a candle lantern, made by a friend of ours. This was my old rondy set-up and some of these items disappear at real period events. Our original candle lantern is one of those pierced tin ones (PC), but we found that on windy days the candles burn down real fast-- and in this glass sided wood lantern they last longer. The hand forged iron rod holding the lantern is clearly a rondy item as are the chairs....my wife refuses to go totally primitive!

here's my new 8x10 trail tarp. it's not treated yet. I was going to do canvac, but now I'm just thinking about Thompson's water seal, I don't want to put too much into this.

 

Do not use Thompsons Waterseal. It is no longer rated for use on canvas. It once was, but is no longer, intended for canvas.

Lowes Olympic is still usable on canvas, but you will have to use a seam sealer on any seams in the shelter. Someone talked about a solution from Ace Hardware the other day, but I have never used it.

Tipis had a list of solutions she uses on the shelters she builds just the other day, on another thread.

Thanks Ghost. I'll give it a parusal. I was going to canvac it, as I know and trust that brand, but I just don't want to invest that much into what amounts to scrap yardage.
I've basically sworn off Thompson's until today when it was recommended to me by my local Sherwin William's guy.
do you have the link to Tipi's thread?
