In this video, we demonstrate how to create a DIY rubber ground sheet inspired by the Civil War-era gum blanket. Using a 60" x 80" piece of muslin, brass grommets, and Rustoleum's rubberized spray for waterproofing, this versatile piece of gear can serve as an emergency shelter, ground sheet, or poncho. Perfect for bushcraft, survival, or historical reenactments, this project offers a durable and practical solution for staying dry in the wild.
