This is it. The world-famous Tentsmith’s tarp. Shelter anywhere, everywhere under your own lovely oilskin tarp. Constructed of the same fabric as our Watchcoats, the oil/wax-finished long-staple cotton makes a wonderful tarp for a great early feel. The dark tan/brown fabric is 6.25 oz. per square yard. All tarps are finished with loops on all four sides and on the seam.
Tarps are available in a 8’×8′ or 10′ x 9’4″. They have one seam and are finished with a center loop. All the loops are heavy duty as they need to stand up to the constant tugging and pulling from the elements.
Note: The center extra heavy-duty reinforcement is added to all tarp purchased through Self Reliance Outfitters for those folks that might want to use the tarp as in the diamond set up.
For those who will be backpacking with their tarps, weights are listed below:

Oilskin Tarp
I do a lot of backpacking and am looking to get into more traditional gear, while also maintaining a low packed weight. This tarp balances that like perfectly and is also has superb craftsmanship.
Very pleased. Good quality tarp.
Haven got to use it .but I will soon.
Over the decades, I have used many Tentsmith ( over 38 years) tents, and tarps. This firms tentage is far an away the best made and strongest in the business. Recently the original owner retired and sold the firm to a new owner and I am glad to say that the quality has remained top shelf.
I am a living history reenactor and use and appreciate a quality product and my new oil skin tarp (although not used as yet) appears to be made just as well as my last purchased tent and fly.
I am looking forward to using this tarp as part of rendezvous impression camp this January 2023 at the Alifia River Rendezvous down in Florida as a Florida Frontiersmen sponsored and run event . I have a member of said club for 38 years and always recommended Tentsmirhs made product to any members or fellow reenactors.

Fits my bottle like a glove. As an added bonus I use it to keep me warm in winter outdoor sleepovers. Fill your bottle with hot water, slip it in the bag, and keep it with you in your sleeping gear...Many therms of warmth for several hours!
I could not be happier with this purchase. As other items I have from SRO the build quality is above average and solid as a rock.
Pot - Love the bat wing handles. My hands are average and there is plenty of room to fit all 4 fingers in with a glove on. No issues with getting a good grip on it. I have been using it on a canister stove and find that it sits sturdy when cooking since it has a wider bottom than cup type pot. I also like bail it comes in handy to grab it off the stove. I can’t wait to try it over a campfire with a tripod.
Stove – Great match Dave. Good idea to make it a little smaller. If you take it out of its pouch and just use a bandana you can lay it flat on the bottom of the pot and a gas can on top of it with room for the stem. The top will stick up just a bit, but the bag takes care of keeping it all together.
Bag – I like it a lot. It’s built well and should hold up under normal use. It is big enough that you can have the pot and sit a 110g can on top and it closes and does not leave a lot of extra bag flopping around.
Windscreen – It’s HUGE!!!! 12 panels. This thing will have no problem blocking the wind for the stove. Actually, I think it’s large enough to use around one of the square butane stoves a caterer uses. I can see using it as a small campfire heat reflector.
I see another poster mentioned this on the page for the pot alone. “Would love to see a 6-inch version of the camp skillet to go with it.” I agree with them it would make a great combination set / addition to this set.
The Ozark Trail 18oz Stainless Steele cup from Walmart (still only $6.00) nests perfectly inside the 1QT. pot. You can then fill the cup, take the stove out of its pouch, and lay it flat on top of the cup. The lid sticks up just a bit but once it’s in the bag and the gas can is on top of it, it sits snug.
I purchased this mattress to replace the foam mattress in my Canvascutter Bedroll, as the foam was too bulky to properly pack on a horse. This mattress compacts down to half the size, and is just as comfortable. It inflates and deflates properly without the use of a pump. It seems to be constructed very well. Great Mattress!
a awesome piece of equipment to have
As usual 1st class item & service.
