I didn’t know til I went looking for it but I’m a massive fan of your Behind the Scenes TH-cam playlist. By all means I love the dog videos but hearing the brass tacks parts of your day to day it’s pretty cool too! Love the Uncle Stonnie wisdoms in everything you put out. Thank you sir.
Thank you Stonnie! We use a waxed canvas tarp as a table cloth for camping. At some point I am going to need to reapply the wax. Thank you for the handy how-to.
Oh a lifestyle feature! I love it!
Helpful information. Looking at buying a couple of vests when back in stock. Great video thank you for sharing!
Projects with Uncle Stonnie!
Are you a fan of my training style, but can’t travel to Kentucky to see me in person? No worries! I offer an awesome online dog training course, which includes access to an array of exclusive videos and content, personalized coaching, journaling, and in-depth mentoring and evaluation by yours truly! If you just need some an advice or have a couple questions you need answered, I also offer professional consulting by the hour.
Both of these great services can be found here: www.KentuckyCanine.com
Thank you all for your remarkable support over the years! I cannot express enough how grateful I am for your appreciation and patronage of this channel, my training style, and my kennel. Always remember, it’s a great day for a puppy-sized adventure!
Tio Stonnie! outdoor tips now??? love it. keep them coming. much love from San Antonio, TX
I waxed my Carhartt work jacket a couple years ago and it was well worth the time. It blocks out the wind and rain great and has kept me warm and dry in some pretty nasty weather.
I used to have a lot of waxed cotton gear for motorcycling in all seasons. I used a paraffin/mineral spirits mixture to treat them, turn them inside out and toss them in the dryer for a few minutes. Made them look like they just came out of the box, new. Never blew up the dryer which was always a bit of a concern with a gas powered dryer.
Thanks for posting, I see some of my canvas stuff now becoming water and briar resistant.
Thanks Stonnie.
I have to do this to a coat and vest this fall.
Ah yes - first post and first view. Bob Jarrard
Best comment ever! “Don’t do this if you have soft hands” hahahaha.
What made me crack up was the context. It was a closeup shot of the table and a pair of unused gloves sitting there. As if to say, only wimps wear gloves ;)
Brand of vest? Thanks Uncle Stonnie! Cool process!
I may be wrong, but it looks like a Filson.
I've picked up from another channel (Grey bearded Green Beret maybe?) That it's sometimes a decent idea to leave excess wax on and allow it to naturally soak in from the sun and use.
Upland game vest, canvas.
Carnauba wax, boiled linseed oil, turpentine. Melt in a double boiler, paint on all surfaces, let sit overnight, cotton cloth & heat gun to need into fabric. Wipe excess. Done!
Filson
🤜⚡🤛
Works well on Carhartts too. Let 'em hang outside for a few days to allow the odor to dissipate a bit. Keeps those zippers working smooth too.
You are such a Dad...i had major flashbacks watching this. I wish that I paid more attention...i cherish those memories.
Linseed oil can start fires, right?...where do you store your vests?
This is how we treated canvas when I lived in Maine!
Would love to know the ratio of beeswax, linseed oil and turpentine please.
Love from 🏴
I use paraffin and mineral spirits. The ratio is whatever handles best. The mineral spirits will flash off, especially if you turn the garment inside out and toss it in a dryer for a minute or maybe two.

Never knew
I’ve thought about doing this to a couple pairs of pants. I don’t know if it’s worth sweating like pig losing breathability in the pants though. 😅
It works great but you are right you do not want to wear them in the summer lol. Great for briar busting, Google tin pants recipe. I think alot of firefighters do it
It’s not bad if you just do it below the knee.
Keep in mind that you won’t be able to launder them.
You really want to treat something that is lined. That stuff will come off on anything underneath it otherwise.
What brand is your vest Stoney?
Very similar to what I Ive always done. Great video. Glad you mentioned its an outside task or you'll burn your house down with the linseed oil lol.
Thank you!
Put the items in an old pillow case, tie it shut and put in dryer on high. The pillowcase and tumble in dryer does a nice job of burnishing the excess wax.
Smart
Uncle Stonnie, I know you're a badass, but were you filming this through an earthquake or did you branch out into elephant training? The water in the pool in the background sloshed around for over 3 minutes!
Huh, learn something new everyday 🤔
all I learned was you like to look cool... What's the ratio you use
Filson?
Love Filson coats, tough and warm!
I believe that Filson uses the same paraffin/mineral spirits wax treatment that Barbour and Belstaff use.
Ain't nobody got time for that
People may decide to make time when they find out how much waxed cotton jackets cost…
@@StonnieDennis I'm extraordinarily wealthy and wear a brand new one every morning.
Sounds like someone who doesn't have time to spend in the bush, clean his guns or check his dog for ticks.
