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 waterproof. 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. Color: natural. Weight: 9 lbs.

No. 352 $300
No. 356 Pole package, 3 lbs. (Includes 2 poles, rope and 13 stakes) $150
The only shelter a solo camper needs during the bug free season.
