Zed, I'm from NYC area and we talk fast. At times your cadence was incredibly fast! Well done and nice that you invited people from other countries to mention suppliers.
+Lewis Ward I know Lewis i'm terrible at that, always have to remind myself to slow down. I'm trying to make my videos shorter hence I tend to speed up at times so apologise my man ...someone once described my accent as Michael Caine on Amphetamine!! :) ~Peace~
Don't mention it, since this video a few other suppliers have popped up online so be sure to check them out too for competitive prices. Hope you've been keeping well my man and I must give you a bell next time i'm passing through Dorset ~Peace~
Life is a journey not a destination. Cool beans mate. Btw April 9th and 10th we had a huge haul of maple sap to be boiled down. I camped out over night to keep the fires burning. The first night was -15 and all went well. Second night was -25 according to the weather network in the morning but the trees were snapping in the cold and that doesn't happen till it gets closer to -30. It was fantastic 2 nights in the bush making maple syrup.
+shannonandsheila1 though there is a chance of spontainious combustion. if you hang it to dry in a well ventilated area (preferably outdoors )it is perfectly safe.
There is a difference between oil canvas and wax canvas. Oil canvas is normally treated with boiled linseed oil and mineral spirits. Wax canvas will be treated with wax (normally bees wax), boiled linseed oil, and mineral spirits. Both are great materials to work with. Do use caution when working with boiled linseed oil. It gets very hot as it curses. Hot enough to catch rags on fire. So don't just ball up any rags and throw them in the trash. Also make sure to keep any freshly treated material open and free to breath. It will take a few days for it to curse. Once cursed it will be fine to fold up and put away without risk of fire.
Another great video Zed. Strangely people have never asked me why I'm so handsome but it's probably because they recoil in disgust when they see me, lol
Thanks for your research Zed. I've been looking for a British equivalent of the US 'Tentsmiths' oilskin tarp, as recommended and endorsed by Dave Canterbury. A tad heavier than most nylon tarps( think 'DD' etc) but very 'retro' and hard wearing.
zed here is a tip for you :do you know that you can make a cheapier version of oil skin at home? All that you need is newspaper, parifin wax, and a iron, a brush, and a small pot to melt the wax in. Put paper, material on top of that, cover with warmed parafin wax, let it cool turn it over to the other side, repeat the process, let cool, put paper on both sides of material after both sides have cooled and use a warm iron on both sides to smooth it out. You will have oil skin, or waxed cloth which ever you want to call it.
Great video mate, I appreciate the time you've taken to provide the details to find companies that sell this stuff. I've just subbed as well, really like the overnighter videos. I like the honesty when you don't get something right first time. Thanks for sharing. Take care.
+AMBushcraft It's a genuine pleasure to be connected, it's been a while since i've posted some wildcamp videos but have many planned in the coming weeks and months. Hope the summer aheads an adventurous one for you my friend ~Peace~
Nice one, Zed, (By Jove, Holmes! ) a proper member of the BC community: you share the knowledge. John, Turtle Bushcraft has a tarp made from this material, and one he made from canvass and red paint.
Here in Australia I got to spotlight which is a big sewing and material store. I buy medium heavy cotton lengths then make up whatever I need and mix my own waterproofing with the good old beeswax, linseed oil and turpentine. I can apply as heavy or as light a coat as I want. Strange no one wanted to help you with this mate. A bit slack if you ask me.
+Matt Lilly Yes a bit lame when people dont tell you where they get it from, but it is what it is I guess. Sincerely appreciate you sharing your own process as I want to get round to making myself soon. In terms of application do you soak the cloth in the solution or paint the solution on with some kind of brush? ~Peace~
+Zed Outdoors just paint it on in its hot state as when it solidifies it can be a bit hard. It's best to use a natural brush as well. It will smell like turps for a couple of days but it goes away. When your finished painting it I hit it with a hair dryer to really get in the fabric. Concentrate on your seems as well. Enjoy and hope this helps.
+Howling Dingo You know it's funny you mention that as there's a UK company, forgot their name, that makes an Australian swag kit out of Oilskin and leather, I reckon you'd be able to make a cracking version yourself what with your skill set in crafting ~Peace~
Howling Dingo Have you thought about making your own, a subscriber sent me this video and it's something i'm gonna try myself - ruclips.net/video/4BAHx0KBpT4/видео.html
Actually I'm from the US and I've always called it Waxed Cotton Canvas. I think they call it Oilskin in Australia. But I just make my own. I have a recipe I like that uses bees wax and natural oils. Just heat a pot of the mixture, paint it on with a brush, and put it in the oven on low to get the wax through the material really good. I also add Cat Nip Oil to my mixture, because it's more effective against insects than DEET. -
Many thanks Zed. I did much the same search only a few weeks ago. Nice to confirm the same suppliers that you found. Like you said it was a tricky search and it comes down to weight. I will link you to items that we will have on line in a few weeks time.
+Dusty Dave Indeed Dave it's a tricky one at first when searching but then a good few number of suppliers show up. May I ask what items it is you make? ~Peace~
My wife is making a couple of Tote bags and a Messenger Laptop bag for me. As yet she's not a huge fan of sewing the wax canvas. with her new machine.Keep you posted on the results. PS Makuini my wife has linked with you before, Maori from NZ living here in the UK/
Dusty Dave Oh yes I remember now, speaking of which I am very keen to make some Maori jewellery such as a Toki, etc. Would your wife know someone who can teach me the binding side of it as that is something i'm struggling with, the Maori have very specific techniques on how they bind the cordage round the pendants
Hi Zed hope you are well and still looking cool?. I thought I'd sent you a link on Toki and Tiki pendent binding looks like I didn't as I know you would have replied. Check my Facebook, I have just put up a bone Toki that I have done the elbow work on and Makuini has done the binding, real Maori hands on, so we can show you how, or send a link. We've just done some waxed canvas lunch bags as well. We will have them up on FB, just sorting the photos out. facebook.com/daviddvdwrght
Dusty Dave Hi Dave all is well and hope you've been keeping well too, thank you so much for the link and yes that is exactly what i'm trying to recreate. I got your link you kindly sent reg the tutorial so will attempt it myself but if ok with you could I hit you up if I get stuck as I most probably will! :)
+TraditionalBlackPowder There are a ton of good suppliers in the US, check out a company called 'Tentsmiths' who make some incredible oilskin gear. In the future I want to create a dedicated resource on my website listing suppliers from around the world ~Peace~
Nice video Zed, I Will look forward to seeing your new pouches once you make them. I like that sort of malt colour fabric you had , I think a pouch made in that colour would look quite good in the outdoors. Atb Glenn
Good video Zed. I seen a grate thing on PM101's channel called a "Mpower Luci inflatable solar lantern". They do grate things for people in developing countries with no electricity etc. I bought one the other day off eBay £13.99. Thx Dod.
searching waxed cotton canvas instead of oilskin is the best tip of the video. Being American, I'm unfamiliar with the GSM you mentioned regarding the thickness or weight of the fabric. Is it Grams per Square Meter?
+Darryl Machtmes Being in the US you will have way more choice of materials then we have here, indeed yes GSm stands for that but some refer to it as Grams per Meter Square i.e. GMS ...trust me it gets complicated when dealing with suppliers :) ~Peace~
I have no doubt that there are plenty of options here. Our Civil War re-enactors use waxed cotton for a lot of their kit. Some of them are so wound up about their period accuracy as to make their own black powder. And argue on the internet about which wood produces the best charcoal for black powder.
Filson do oil skin work trousers ! Wranglerstar has some I wanted some but instead oil skinned my own cotton work trousers ! And few other things just waxing you own gear awsome to get into mixing own wax oils
+Chris Bannister Oh yes I first heard about Filsons from Wranglestar too, how amazing is their gear. Indeed i'm going to get round to waxing my own stuff too, for now just wanted to get the ball rolling on my projects ~Peace~
In the old days I always used: PennineOutdoor.co.uk and ProFabrics.co.uk You can add wax to any cotton yourself anyway. Plus if you're not close to a fire Sil Nylon is way better for tarps. Also you mean "grams per meter squared", ie the weight of the fabric..
+Sam Cla Those two resources look fantastic Sam I really appreciate you sharing them thank you. Yes I am going to get round to making it myself too, for now I just wanted to get the ball rolling. Some companies refer to it as Gpms and others Gsm. I want to use the tarp near fires hence the Oilskin ~Peace~
+Kevin Fraser If they are running a business then it would be in their best interest not to reveal their suppliers. You don't want someone coming in and potentially competing in your market.
+Kevin Fraser A part of me gets it, if its their business then they dont want competition. However all the information is out there anyway and you'll eventually find it, like I did. In which case they could have told you in the first place and look cool :) ~Peace~
A part of me also gets it. But it's a terribly greedy part of me that I like to keep hidden. I build custom guitar FX for people. If I feel there is a product that suits their needs at a better price than I can do, I will happily tell them about it. Sure I may have a few lost sales from it, but I know for a fact I have gained some very enthusiastic customers who keep coming back for more.
If i go to a shop and they tell me where I can find the Item I'm looking for, I normaly tell the other shop and the first one has got a huge bonus for further purchases. As well as when someone tells me how to do/build sth myself that he/she is actually selling.
NICE ONE MATE I JUST BOUGHT A BARBOUR JACKET FROM THE UK ITS ON ITS WAY TO OZ RIGHT NOW WAXED COTTON AND GOOSE DOWN……oops cap lock was on….sorry pal great vid love ya stuff buddy….kind regards phil from OZ
I once set out to buy my granddad some wellies online. I searched for hours looking for "half height Wellington boots" with no luck. What I should have been looking for was "calf length".....
+Zed Outdoors Hey, i just have ta return one to you brother ~Peace~. Oh just another quick one Zed, tonight i made up two rocket stoves in my backyard, and had some mates over for a couple of drinks and some bush stroganoff, best strog ever, if i do say so myself. Anyway Zed, hope you're going good mate, and i'll be looking forward to you're next awesome installment, cheers champ.
Does anyone know where to get pants like he is wearing in the USA and for a reasonable price. Could rally use them for the fossil hunting I do as well as bushcraft. Thanks
Thanks for sharing Mr S. You should of asked, I knew it was referred to as waxed cotton canvas. Could of saved you the hassle m8. Did you notice all those people in the distance wandering around (or stalking you) about 4:50 in? Take care my friend. :o)
+Ross Everitt It took me a while to realise it was referred to as waxed cotton canvas but glad I learnt the hard way as along the process I learnt a lot of the nuances of what goes into making it, etc. Funny you mention those passers by as I didnt notice then till when I was editing the video :) You have some sharp eyesight Senor Everitt ~Peace~
+MartTheMadScientist Hey Mart hows it going, i'm planning on making an assortment of pouches first for my bushcraft kit and then once I get my sewing skills up to a good level I wanna make larger items like tarps, etc ~Peace~
Thank you for doing the leg work for us on this one, Zed! If I can return the favor in a small way, you may find these leather awls useful if you're going to be working in heavy canvas material: www.amazon.com/Stewart-110-Sewing-Awl-Kit/dp/B0049W6XRE
+simonferrer Oh yes the speedy stitcher, its timely you mention that as I only recently came across it whilst searching online for tools. Appreciate the reminder Simon ~Peace~
7 years later and this is video still doing wonders, thank you for the information!!
Thank you for your comment and I forgot I made this video! awesome to hear you found it useful ~Peace~
Zed, I'm from NYC area and we talk fast. At times your cadence was incredibly fast! Well done and nice that you invited people from other countries to mention suppliers.
+Lewis Ward I know Lewis i'm terrible at that, always have to remind myself to slow down. I'm trying to make my videos shorter hence I tend to speed up at times so apologise my man ...someone once described my accent as Michael Caine on Amphetamine!! :) ~Peace~
Great information! I don't think I've seen this anywhere else. Thanks Zed.
+Dr Toerag Thank you kindly my friend ~Peace~
Very good tips, Zed. Looking forward to seeing your oilskin projects. All the best, Stella

Great vid as usual Zed. You really covered everything. Looks like you're going to do some fun projects.

+Florida Scrublife Thank you kindly my friend ~Peace~
3 yrs old vid but thanks Zed I've been looking for oilskin to make some home projects
Don't mention it, since this video a few other suppliers have popped up online so be sure to check them out too for competitive prices. Hope you've been keeping well my man and I must give you a bell next time i'm passing through Dorset ~Peace~
@@Zedoutdoors your always welcome to pop in if your about will make me tidy the workshop
Can't wait to see your future projects...keep up the great vids!

Maybe one spring you can come to Ontario and we can do a boil together
Zed ,You can make "oil skin" with linseed oil and what ever fabric suits your need. Primal out doors has a video .
+shannonandsheila1 though there is a chance of spontainious combustion. if you hang it to dry in a well ventilated area (preferably outdoors )it is perfectly safe.
+Terry Snyder Appreciate the heads up on Primals video Terry thank you, ah yes I am going to get round to making it myself too later this year ~Peace~

You beauty. Been looking for a supplier for ages so I can knock up a tarp. Thanks for sharing.

+Zed Outdoors No problem at all, Zed. If you have any other similar questions feel free to ask. I used to be a real Backpacking nerd.
Any one who will not tell you where they got something has some major insecurity issues. Probably best to stay clear of them.
+Kevin Fraser If they are running a business then it would be in their best interest not to reveal their suppliers. You don't want someone coming in and potentially competing in your market.
Then they should be filling in that market void.
