pup tents

Post by berlin1945 »

just been given another two pup tents and will be collecting this weekend, as part of the trade im supplying wooden pegs for 6 other pup tents , can some give me an estimation of how many pegs and poles that i have to make for each pup tent as recently sold my other tents at curragh as where wrong colour for ww1 too green ww2 type ones and i cant remember how many pegs i had to make from the template, i know i need poles x 2 for each but would some one give me total for one tent in terms of staves / pegs required. thanks mairtin

If they are the closed end style shelter halves I always used 8, 3 on each side then 1 on each end.

Did the German army use pup tents in ww2 or just zelt tents.Surely they would have used captured allied stuff.
