Bushmen HOT Tarp 4×3 canvas tarp

Product description

Larger canvas tarp with stove opening – spark-resistant and versatile

The Bushmen HOT Tarp™ 4×3 in technical cotton is an evolution of the classic 3×3 model. With its generous area of almost 12 m², spark-resistant polycotton, and built-in stove port, this tarp is perfect as extra protection in front of a tent, by a vehicle, or as a standalone campsite year-round. It combines traditional bushcraft feel with modern functionality.

Technical cotton – natural protection against sparks and condensation

The tarp is made of durable polycotton (220 g/m²). The fabric is impregnated with DWR treatment and naturally swells when wet, making it extra waterproof without the need for seam sealing. Thanks to its good breathability, condensation is reduced—a common drawback of synthetic tarps. In addition, polycotton is significantly more resistant to sparks than nylon or polyester, which makes the HOT Tarp 4×3 particularly suitable in combination with a stove or campfire.

Note: The material is spark-resistant but not fireproof—avoid direct contact with hot surfaces.

Stove port for a wood-burning stove

The integrated port is made of heat-resistant material that withstands up to 800 °C. The star-shaped opening keeps the smoke pipe stable and reduces the risk of water ingress.

• Fits pipes with a diameter of 4–8 cm
• Closable with a Velcro flap when the port is not in use
• Extra fastening loop below the port to secure the chimney with a line

Note: The stove port may deform slightly at very high temperatures. This is normal and does not affect safety or functionality.

Reinforced attachment points for flexible setup

• 16 loops around the edge
• 3 loops along the center
• 1 loop below the stove port for securing
• 1 internal loop for a lantern or clothesline
• 8 reinforced metal grommets in corners and center loops

Practical transport bag and complete set

The tarp comes in a spacious transport bag in a matching style—with shoulder strap, double handles, outer pocket, and coconut button. It works just as well for equipment as for everyday use.
