The Whelen Lean-to was designed by Colonel Townsend Whelen in the 1920's to satisfy his need for light- weight camping in cool or cold weather. Set up in front of a campfire, the Whelen will keep you warm and protected even when the temperature drops below freezing. Made of 100% cotton Sunforger 10.10 oz army duck canvas which is fire resistant and water resistant. For an improvement over the square tarp, it can also double as a great outdoor kitchen in foul weather. When rigged to its full height of 5 1/2 feet, the lean-to provides floor space of 6'x 7' which is large enough for 4 campers to cook and eat in. For more versatility, expandable poles with stakes may be purchased separately here. Color: natural. Weight: 9 lbs
