This canvas storage bag for the US Army Pup Tent is a practical and period-looking solution for keeping your complete tent set together. Perfect for re-enactment, living history, vehicle displays or a WW2 base camp where modern storage bags would spoil the scene.
The bag is large enough to hold two shelter halves, two sets of upright poles, 10 wooden pegs and a pup tent groundsheet. It helps prevent tent parts, pegs and poles from getting lost in your jeep, trailer, storage crate or camp setup.
Please note: this product is the storage bag only. Pup tent, poles, pegs and groundsheet are not included.
Subtle advice:
Pairs well with a US pup tent, wooden tent pegs, upright poles, groundsheet and other canvas camp gear for a convincing American WW2 bivouac setup.
Historical Context
The American pup tent was made from two shelter halves, which could be buttoned together to form a small two-man tent. Each soldier usually carried one half, allowing two men to create a complete shelter in the field. During training, bivouacs and campaigns, keeping poles, pegs and tent parts together was essential for quick setup and breakdown.
This canvas storage bag is not an original issue item, but it has been made with a period appearance in mind. For re-enactors and collectors, it is a useful way to keep modern storage out of sight while maintaining the atmosphere of a 1940s field display.
