Hey, Yeah I do remember that Yarn ;-) It's Cotton with Polyester core! The important about that is the Polyester gives it stability, but allows the Cotton to quell up if getting wet, so it will seal the pinholes ;-) Get any similar material and you are fine.

@@spookycrow1 Thank you for the reply. Just to let you know: watching your video inspired me to make my own! I just bought a sewing machine and bought fabric samples and now I'm learning about threads. I'm also studying my army surplus gear to see how it's put together and I'll be aiming for a Veshmeshok as well.
@@spookycrow1 Rasant 75 is not sold in the USA, but I found a dealer in New Zealand. The spool costs $3.00 and the shipping cost $45! LOL I opted for a local variant instead. Anyway, I just wanted to share the following: looking around for suitable wood for the toggles, I found 'fatwood' sticks in my camping utility bag. Fatwood is resin-rich pine that is used for starting fires. I figured it was naturally rot-resistant and good as an emergency fire starter. Don't know if you considered it. Wanted to share in case you're interested for your next project.
@@malacaralaughs8228 Hey, about the sewing yarn, yes anything that matching the requirements will do, no need to get it from a specific manufacturer. I only posted the yarn as a sample, and what I have been using at the time, never really bothered about it. It only matters to get a yarn with (cotton outer and a polyester core) that's it! Because then, it can interact with the cotton canvas to seal the pinholes. About a suitable wood for some toggles, well any hard wood will do, pick what you like, you could even use bone or antler or Buffalo horn, just anything hard wearing will do 😁 I only made use of this beech, because I had that stick in the right size, and it's a very common native local three, beech is lightweight too, colour match was right as well, nothing fancy. But yes you got a point there of having some toggles as emergency fire starter, but then, hey there would be plenty suitable wood around, no need to salvage toggles then, but yea still a brilliant idea to be used in a pinch.👍

yes and no ;-) looks like you are a good observer... but ;-) No I'm not Turkish but yes this Turkish Cay glasses are nice and matching my German made Samovar very well, absolutely love them, this Turpin shape is just the perfect design and size. Wouldn't be right using a funny large Anglo style ceramic coffee Mug for Tea, in my opinion there is something like culture in this world, why not enjoying it. Apart from that, it may prove that Turkish culture became a good influence on German potato country for good in the end ;-)
I'm thinking of a samovar/tent stove. I'll be watching the other three videos soon. I live in western Washington state, America and am interested in all things rain gear. Also I want to learn to sew canvas sails.
@b ks about a Samovar type tent stove, this classic Turkish Chay kettle would be a very cheap and practical option for you: www.etsy.com/de/listing/1089382973/turkish-samovar-tea-kettle-camping-water think of it as a Hobo stove that got a kettle mounted on top with nice design and very useful additions too. There are many styles around, easy to carry, low weight and ideal for using in the field or in a tent. There is of cause the Russian Samovar design too, but these are usually much larger, with 5Lt or 10Lt usually more fancy as well.

And yes for your canvas rain and shelter needs, you will find a lot of valuable information around that issue too among my videos and that's not only about this DIY Plash Palatka series but having the main tarp and the poncho in action on my Finland trip too, which should give you a very universal idea what this is all about for you very own projects.
You wouldn't happen to remember what thread you used to sew the fabric?
