8 panel LAVVU, waxed canvas & leather tent tipi tarp
- all organic materials
- handbuilt in the Lake District
- small batch product
A Lavvu style canvas tent tarp, almost a two-person bushcraft tipi. Open sided shelter designed to allow closer fires and better views. 8 panels for even more coverage, ideal for 2 people or more floor space
The 8 panel LAVVU is 9' max height and 26' max width (actual size depends on how steep you pitch). It comes with 10 tie outs plus 7 panel pulls in 3mm riveted leather. All leather used is genuine vegetable tan and will patina / scratch up with age. Choose your canvas fabric thickness - each Lavvu is tailored to the trips you take: 8oz HEAVY for UltraHeavy junkies, 6 oz STANDARD for robust pitches, 4oz LIGHT for pack-outs with less space in the bag.
Can be pitched under a tripod, using a tarp pole/stick or with a ridgeline from a tree. Lavvus team really well with a bivy to give protection so not trapped in the bivy if it rains but is usable with just blankets etc if your bushcraft skills are up to it. Comes with double stitched catenary cut edges and triple fold flat felled seams so it can be pitched taught and smooth quickly and easily.
PLEASE NOTE 4oz fabric is custom order only, please buy the £0 option and I will message you directly for available options.
