I grew up inrepparttar "Cowboy State" of Wyoming, and my cousins are all professional rodeo stars, so evey year I attendrepparttar 133761 National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, Nevada, just to see how many bones they have broken this year.

And every yearrepparttar 133762 Cowboy Christmas Gift Show (atrepparttar 133763 Venician Hotel) keeps on growing, and I always stumble across new and unique ranch gear, usually made of leather. This year canvas caught my interest with David Ellis' Canvas Products, a complete line of range tents, and really wonderful bedrolls. I don't know how many times I have slept out underrepparttar 133764 stars onrepparttar 133765 hard ground, but with Dave's cool canvas bedrolls, it will be a whole lot more comfort next time. I like his slogan as well: "Providing Nomadic Housing forrepparttar 133766 American Cowboy." Here are just some of Dave and Kelly's outdoor products that you need to add into your next Cowboy Christmas list.

CANVAS TENTS are more comfortable than synthetic tents because they breathe. Yes they weigh more so don’t think you are going to back pack them. But if you want to set up a campsite that will show off an attitude start with a canvas tent. Dave calls it a COWBOYCAMP. Checkrepparttar 133767 website at www.cowboycamp.net

The Range Tent — (the cowboy tipi) is a historical tent that can be seen in many accounts of car camping or ranch camping. When ever there is a chuck wagon involved there is usually a Range Tent close by. It is held up with one interior pole. Dave suspendsrepparttar 133768 tent fromrepparttar 133769 outside using an A-frame, this wayrepparttar 133770 interior will be free from a pole support. Four stakes hold it torepparttar 133771 ground and set up is a snap. If these stakes stay inrepparttar 133772 groundrepparttar 133773 wind can’t blow it down. In fact Artic expeditions always use this tent for this reason.

Dave's Range Tent, with its nylon loop sewn intorepparttar 133774 peak, can be suspended from a tree limb to avoid packing poles. It’s made of 10.38 ounces of Sunforger Army Duck, with a vinyl coated polyester duck (calliope) sewn-in floor. “The Army Duck is a tightly woven double fill cotton canvas, and Sunforger is a marine treatment for water and mildew resistance," says Dave.
