{"title":"Bushcraft","description":"\u003cp\u003eBushcraft means practical handicraft skills combined with wilderness survival skills and living outdoors. Many Varusteleka folks are really into bushcraft, and it is no surprise that we also sell a good selection of stuff for bushcrafters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVarusteleka has a plethora of bushcraft clothes, tarps, \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/bushcraft-knives\"\u003ebushcraft knives\u003c\/a\u003e and other tools, and other bushcraft gear. Bushcrafters indeed form one of our major customer groups. We also have lots of \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/diy-and-maintenance\"\u003eDIY stuff\u003c\/a\u003e. And \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/military-surplus\"\u003emilitary surplus\u003c\/a\u003e is also great for customization or rebuilding into something else. It is fun to use clothes and gear that you have made yourself or modified to suit you better. It is also good for the environment to recycle the old rather than keep buying things that fall apart instantly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGood ol’ times\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBushcraft goes hand in hand with history and historical reenactment. Very often bushcrafters tend to look like old-time frontier people with their simple clothing and blanket rolls, all usually made from natural materials. This is understandable because why try to invent the wilderness skills when our ancestors already did it and a lot better than we ever could. Sadly many historical skills are dying or are already dead. Therefore it is very nice that some want to revive them. Some combine this with homesteading and trying to be self-sufficient, even living off the grid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eNatural born preppers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany a bushcrafter is also a prepper\/survivalist. Prepping doesn’t have to mean that you sit in your bunker waiting for the zombie apocalypse. Most preppers want to be prepared when something unexpected and unwanted happens. This could be a long power outage when you need to be able to survive without electricity. Or it could be getting lost in the banjo-playing backwoods with limited supplies. Woodcraft and interest in survivalism give you the skills to do just that and more. Building a fire without matches, building a shelter from scratch, hunting and fishing with limited resources, making your own tools and utensils such as spoons, and so on.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"varusteleka-fabric-wax-1","title":"Varusteleka Fabric Wax","description":"\u003cp\u003eBelieve it or not, there was a time before spray-on treatments and polymer technology, but conditions were as unforgiving as ever. Protection from wind and water was a necessity, which was met with waxed canvas. A combination of paraffin and beeswax is a time-proven way to treat cotton and mixed fabrics to be wind- and waterproof, right on the spots you want it to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor some time we wanted to offer wax to go with our Windproof Smock and Parka, or any other suitable clothes, bags, and so on. Previously we'd help our customers by directing you to buy wax elsewhere, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.shelbyoutdoor.com\/?cPath=405_434_515\u0026amp;language=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eor make it yourself\u003c\/a\u003e, but it's far easier to just sell the product ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe could have sourced a ready-made product but wanted to keep things domestic and true to our style. Now we can offer a Finnish-made fabric wax made from domestic paraffin and beeswax.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight: 90 grams a piece (about 3.2 ounces). These are hand-crafted, so slight variance is to be expected. One bar will last a very long time anyways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTips how to wax your clothes and gear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLong story short: first you rub wax on the part you want to treat with wax. It could be certain areas or the whole thing; this is a major plus with wax, you don't have to make a full rain garment if there's no need to. Then you apply heat with a hairdryer or flatiron to melt and permeate the wax. Use a piece of protective baking paper between the iron and fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo get a more even surface, it's better to make several thin layers rather than pile up cold wax. Repeat until you have the desired level of waxing. For example, the front upper legs of trousers are an area you might want to treat thoroughly. Less waxed areas breathe better!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have trouble getting wax off the bar, you can pre-heat it in the sun to soften the wax and pre-heat the fabric also. Pressing and rubbing harder also warms up the wax due to friction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note! The surface texture and color of the fabric will become a bit darker and have a waxed feel to it. A lot of people like the aged look, but it's something you should know. Waxing works well with all-natural fibers and most blended fabrics. A smooth surface helps to get a more even result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith time the treatment will wear and lose some of the effects. Re-treating is much easier than the whole process from beginning to end. We advise not to wash a waxed garment or bag but wipe stains off with a rag. Good thing you used wax because it repels dirt! Wax comes off in a wash, so do it separately and be prepared to do the whole thing all over again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor further details and experience, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.artofmanliness.com\/2014\/06\/03\/how-to-wax-your-own-clothing-and-gear\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003edo give this article a read\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in Finland.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Varusteleka","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51826181603667,"sku":"59438-A","price":9.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/1952\/9555\/files\/varusteleka-fabric-wax-0670cd1654648c.jpg?v=1781161663"},{"product_id":"varusteleka-hobo-stove-pouch-m05-woodland-camo","title":"Varusteleka Hobo Stove Pouch, M05 Woodland Camo","description":"\u003cp\u003eHave you purchased our original Särmä Hobo Stove that came without a carry pouch?
