Love it! I've made some of my own waxed canvas projects before, but something went wrong with my wax/oil blend and it took my olive drab canvas (hobby lobby white canvas tote that I cannibalized, re-sewed, and dyed with olive green RIT Dye) foraging pouch and faded it to about the color of your pouch there. Still looks great, so I'm not complaining. But it was weird reaction.

👍 .. yep, experience has taught me that a little bigger than one originally estimated would have been 'big enough' is not a bad option 😏. I got some PU-coated (inside) Fabric (a Canvas blend I think?) at a very good price from a local Haberdashery Store. The PU Coating ensures that it is waterproof, although the outside will 'wet out'. Hard-wearing and fairly easy to work with, treating the end-products outsides with Commercial 'Waterproofing Agents or the Rub-On Wax and Heat Treatment has solved the wetting out.

Brilliant idea, I was just thinking about making some waxed cotton bags for food on a hike. It may be easier to sew a bag of cotton and then treat with beeswax mixture.

Very interesting KZitem channel that I just discovered and subscribed to. You have a lot of info on alcohol stoves and building your own gear, I like that. I’ve gotten away from using alcohol stones somewhat because the state of California in their infinite wisdom has banned them in some areas and prohibited the sale of denatured alcohol here. The only fuel available for alcohol burners here is Heet and who knows if they might ban that.

Actually Heat is a little better than denatured and up here is cheaper. Here is a good video complaining different types of alcohol fuel. kzitem.info/news/bejne/rqpsn5qYh5p0mqgsi=eW4LSzYcCdrsCaeO

Thanks that’s good to hear. SLX denatured alcohol at Home Depot was $15-16 dollars for a gallon can before they banned it. Heet in the yellow bottle runs $2 a bottle at Walmart. I’ve hear two theories about why California banned denatured alcohol. They use it to make drugs somehow and several forest fires here in Northern California were started by people kicking over alcohol stoves. I’ve never kicked one over because I’m careful but some people aren’t. If the state can prove you started a forest fire by negligence you may end of paying for the fire fighting effort which can run in the millions. Sorry I ramble on, my parents were from Ireland, we have a tendency to ramble on, it’s in our blood. Happy St. Patrick’s day although it’s not celebrated much in Ireland.

USE A PAIR OF OLD COTTON JEANS , USE THE PANT LEG YOU'RE ALREADY HALFWAY THERE , THE VERY BOTTOM OF THE COTTON JEANS YOU USE FOR THE TOP , A COAT HANGER AND PARACHUTE CORD , TO WAX IT USE TOILET BOWL WAX RING AND LINSEED OIL MIX IT TOGETHER BRUCH IT ON , 1/4 of a CUP LINSEED HEAT DYE IT FRIST BLACK OR BROWN BEFORE WAXING ,
