This US Army green canvas peg bag for large wooden tent pegs is a simple but very useful accessory for any WW2 bivouac or base camp display. Instead of loose pegs rolling around in a jeep, trailer, storage crate or tent box, this canvas bag keeps them together in a practical and period-looking way.
The bag is suitable for approximately 20 wooden tent pegs and features a draw cord top closure. Its compact design makes it ideal for use with larger canvas tents such as small wall tents, mess tents, officer tents and other period canvas tent setups.
Please note: this product is the canvas peg bag only. Wooden pegs are not included.
Subtle advice:
Pairs well with wooden tent pegs, tent poles, a US small wall tent, officer tent or other canvas tent accessories for a complete WW2 camp display.
Historical Context
In a military camp setup, the larger items often catch the eye first: tents, vehicles, uniforms and field equipment. Yet the smaller canvas accessories help bring the entire scene together. Pegs, guy ropes and tent poles needed to be kept close at hand when setting up or breaking down camp.
This peg bag is not an original issue item, but its canvas construction and period-style appearance fit well with American field equipment of the 1940s. For re-enactment, living history and museum displays, it helps keep modern buckets, plastic bags or toolboxes out of sight. A small detail, but one that gives a bivouac display that proper field-camp rhythm.
