Build Your First Camp Seat Bundle
One of the things I love most about bushcraft is that it teaches you to look at the outdoors differently.
A branch becomes a tool. A fallen limb becomes a project. With a little knowledge and a willingness to try, natural materials can become something useful.
That's exactly what inspired this collaboration with Craig Caudill.
Years ago, while Craig was writing Traditional Bushcraft, he reached out to me about the tripod seat project featured in the book. I remember thinking how cool it was that one of the projects in the book combined traditional bushcraft skills with a simple piece of gear that could be used around camp for years to come.
Fast forward to this year. As I started thinking about collaborations and ways to encourage more people to build and create, I kept coming back to that tripod seat.
It felt like the perfect place to start.
A Beginner-Friendly Bushcraft Project with an Immediate Reward
One of the hardest parts of learning a new skill is knowing where to begin.
This bundle takes away some of that uncertainty.
Craig's book teaches you how to craft the wooden tripod legs using natural materials and traditional bushcraft techniques. You'll learn how to select and shape the wood while building a practical piece of camp furniture with your own hands.
We've already taken care of the sewing.
Included in this bundle is a handcrafted PNWBUSHCRAFT waxed canvas tripod seat cover that is ready to be paired with the legs you create. Once assembled, you'll have a comfortable camp seat that packs flat, travels easily, and gives you a place to relax around the fire while planning your next adventure.
It's a simple project, but one that teaches valuable skills and leaves you with something you'll actually use.
More Than Just a Tripod Seat
While the tripod seat is where you'll begin, it's far from where the journey ends.
Inside Traditional Bushcraft, Craig guides readers through a progression of hands-on wilderness projects ranging from foundational tools and camp implements to more advanced builds like benches, tables, ovens, and camp furniture.
The projects are designed to build confidence and practical skills one step at a time, helping you learn to work with natural materials using simple, time-tested methods.
For many people, the tripod seat becomes the first project that sparks an interest in building more.
The PNWBUSHCRAFT Tripod Seat Cover
Each tripod seat cover is handcrafted from double-layered waxed canvas and sewn with durable outdoor thread.
Designed to fit the tripod seat project featured in Traditional Bushcraft, the cover includes reinforced corner sleeves that accept the wooden legs you'll craft yourself.
Features:
- Approximately 12" x 12" x 12" when assembled
- Double-layer waxed canvas construction
- Double stitched with durable outdoor thread
- Reinforced corner sleeves for tripod legs
- Packs flat for easy transport
- Suggested weight limit: 200 lbs
We use Martexin Original Wax, a time-tested wax finish that creates a weather-resistant fabric designed for years of use. Like all quality waxed canvas gear, the material develops character over time. Creases, marks, and wear become reminders of campfires shared, trails explored, and adventures still to come.
