V2 Gum Blanket
$90.00
Traditional Roots. Built for the Field.
The Coalcracker V2 Gum Blanket puts modern materials to work in a traditional camp essential. Inspired by the gum blankets carried by Civil War-era soldiers, it provides a waterproof barrier between your gear and wet, muddy ground.
Made from vinyl-coated polyester, the V2 measures 72" x 45" and features six matte black grommets for securing it in different configurations. Spread it beneath a wool blanket, use it as a clean place to lay out equipment, or put it to work as a kneeling mat around camp.
At the Appalachian Bushman School, a gum blanket has long been part of our ground-sleeping setup. The V2 keeps that practical approach with updated materials and straightforward construction.
