Ungarische M49 Zelthälfte, Überschuss

Just when you thought all ancient Cold War era stockpiles had been depleted we got a lot of old shelter halves. This Hungarian model is actually quite fancy, with two armholes, a proper drawcord hood, and everything! Can be used as a small single man shelter or rain cape and by buttoning two or more of these together you can build all sorts of bigger tent-like structures.

A note about the newest lot: these have a strong musty odor. First, air it out very thoroughly. Then, use it to slowly get rid of the smell. If you thought about machine washing this, think again - the smell might take on other garments as well, or even the machine itself.

The material is proper old timey tent canvas, probably 100% cotton.

Used military surplus

These have probably seen decades of field use which shows: small holes and repairs are common, even some eyelets may be missing. Still, for the price, these are pretty good, and with a little patching up and waterproofing, these can easily be restored to their former glory. Lastly we would like to remind again about the strong smell.
