Step back in time to the 1920s with this authentic Kephart-style George Tent — the same design used by classic campers and woodsmen of the early 20th century. In this video, I’ll show you exactly how I stained and waterproofed a brand-new canvas George tent using time-tested, old-school methods that Horace Kephart himself would have approved of as well as the modern equivalent for today!
You’ll learn what stain and waterproofing treatments work for heavy canvas, how to apply them evenly, and how to protect your tent for years of classic camping adventures.
If you enjoy vintage outdoor gear, bushcraft, and traditional camping wisdom, you’ll love this deep dive into Kephart-era tent care and craftsmanship.
