Waterproofing Outdoor Gear
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ก.ย. 2018
- Its the time of the year to waterproof my outdoor gear for the fall and winter seasons. Gear that I also waterproof but did not make the video are, my belts, gloves, shelters, various sheaths and some of my pants. Mostly I use a bar of paraffin and bees way for my frost river pack and other canvas products such as my anorak n.8 by Fjällräven. for my hiking boots i use a homemade cream made from fat, wax and some spruce resin.
Boots are usually treated more often than the rest of the gear which usually get some attention about twice a year. in the spring and now in the fall. Same with gloves, but on those I use a dedicated balm from Hestra.
To help protect my paint box from moisture, I apply a thin coat of boiled linseed oil to it, about once per season. I also apply some leather balm to the bits and pieces made of leather. My axe gets the same treatment and so does my knife.
My canvas tents and tarps are usually waterproofed in mid summer. Its a messy job that i prefer to do outdoors. Small gear and items are done in my house or out in the field as needed.
Thanks for watching! New videos every weekend, please subscribe.

Why you don’t get a waterproof coat instead?
I have that Marcus. This is more to make the garment water repellent and wind resistance. It would be weird to call the video “water repealing my gear” 😝👍
Marcus Cassius - Because Nagualero can dress in layers under his anorak .
So where are you now rattling on about a waterproof coat,there is no such thing ever made that doesn't make you sweat,he is gone forever now,oh look its it's all quiet
It was such sad loss to lose you for everyone,may your spirit carry on for so many people going forward ❤
It's nice to see someone as yourself taking good care of your gear which will last a long time and service you well. Thanks.
I enjoy it very much 👍🙂
Really enjoy your videos! love the quality and skill you bring to the community. Not a lot of people still waterproof your gear with wax; what an excellent skill and tradition to know and practice! It is a craft that has been long practiced before the toxic chemicals that we use now for waterproofing. Love the art and knowledge you bring back and create in your video! Keep up the awesome work and I would love to see more videos on how to.
Thanks, I will👍
I am a Japanese bush crafter. I love your video and I am always watching!
Great👍🙂thanks
Well done. So many people neglect their gear. Great of you to show how you maintain and protect your leather, and canvas
Thanks Andre. I really enjoy taking care of it. Thanks for kind feedback
It's all about hands. Applying and rubbing in with heat generated by hands makes difference. I do same for boards andbuse mineral oil,the hand heat drives it in. Great video thanks. I rewatched truck video again,so cool. You said you are in bush most of time,is that your livelihood. All the best from Canada.
Thanks. Yes
I've melted the bar and brushed it in which also works well. Thanks for the video
Good video. Love that salty old pack.... beautiful. Nice cup too.
Thanks you Wayne, I love it too, its really reliable
I like that pack and anorak a LOT . Have never heard of Greenland wax and still using a homemade mix of beeswax - olive oil and neat's-foot oil . Thanks for sharing your ideas and ATB
Just finished doing the same here but not the hat a few years ago I sold one of the grand kids and pick up a hat made of beaver wish i had done it 50 years ago what a true gem it is . good luck this winter and stay safe looking forward to your winter video's. Happy Trails
👍🙂
Thanks for sharing this with us 👍🏻😁🌤🔥 Atb
👍
Good tutorial on waterproofing!
Thumbs up!!!
Clark and Virginia
Thanks
Excellent video. Thank you!
For years I used a hair drier to melt in my wax, and then one day I borrowed an arts and craft heat gun from a crafty friend of mine. It’s much quieter and much faster. I highly recommend you give it a try!
Thanks👍
I enjoy your videos very much, 👍
Nice gear. Well worth taking good care of as is all gear. Atb
Nice one! I use to do the same process. Thanks for sharing!
👍
Nicely done amigo... gracias
🙏
Awesome brother thank you for sharing!!
👍🙂
Thanks for sharing !
a great video
Thanks!
Just love seeing all your gear. . I like the beeswax and sand conditioner. . Care to do a "diy tutorial" on it?
Thanks Mark. It’s pretty much the same as the one I filmed in one of the trips. I will try and make a video just for that ASAP.👍🙂
Thanks for the video. I typically use beeswax; but, I just found a dozen bars of Fjallraven wax at a thrift store for $.25 each. I thought it was an OK deal. I will try that before it gets cold her in Minnesota.
That’s what I am using. It’s partly made of bees wax 😉
I always watch the video.
Is the jacket anywhere in the brand of？？
Great video buddy thanks for sharing, a big hello from the uk, sharing knowledge is my passion, you got a sub from me buddy 👍👍
Thanks and welcome to the channel 👍🙂
How good is the waterproofness of the fjall raven clothing after waxing it to your opinion? Is have several fj clothing and found that even after putting serrious effort in putting the wax on, i always ended op wet in the rain in less tegen one our. The test with the watercup gave the same resultaat to me however.
In my experience it makes the clothes resistant to water and dirt rather than totally waterproof. I like that better, to have some flexibility on the breathability and water proof ness of my clothes. For total waterproofness I use a poncho or rain gear
Great video friend...looking at your camping videos, have you treated, ( waxed) your Polish Lavvu, it seems to handle rain storms well?
Thanks. Just set it up in the rain and leave it there, the fabric will swell up and become waterproof
@@NagualeroArt thank you my friend
Hallo..my name Budi new subscriber and like your vidio..service leather..
Thanks man
Great video as always. You need a heat gun for the wax, my friend. It will go much faster.
Little primitive here in my neck of the woods 😝
10!
Awesome. What kind of homemade leather care/beeswax is it?
Plane beeswax mixed with fat ( olive oil, paraffin or animal fat will do)
nagualero , can you please tell us how to mix that? What appropriate proportions?
I pretty much eye balled the portions on the one I made. There are lots of recipes on line. This one was made with bees wax, olive oil and a very small amount of spruce resin, mostly for the smell which I love. As a rule of thumb, the more bees wax the harder it will be In the end. Hope that helps
@@NagualeroArt thanks ! I love your videos ^^
Buddy have you got details on that jacket for me please
I made a full review. Look it up on my channel it’s called anorak n8
Does anyone make a wax without bee's wax? Like a plant wax or synthetic?

Hi bro! What your backpack name?
Frost river isle royale jr
Nagualero tks guy
nice video can i posted
Very good but why are people still unecessarily using aerosol sprays these days? Treating the hat could have been done with a container of the liquid and a brush. Or mix in a re-useable spray bottle if a spray is 100% necessary.
Tried that once but i messed it up. good point though

Yes, but it lasts and I end up saving a lot of 💲💲💲💸💸💸 :-)
