Here’s a tip for sewing patches that I use every time… Every couple of inches tie off the thread just like when finishing, but don’t cut it…just keep stitching. This way, if it breaks or is caught and pulled and then comes loose the thread will never work it’s way out more than a couple of inches. Virtually indestructible patches. I use this method with everything I stitch.

To set your wax in clothes the by far easiest way is to apply the wax to the entire garment and place in a black garbage bag and place in the sun for a hour. Repeat the process for how many layers of wax you want. I’ve worn waxed clothes for thirty years and it works every time which is way easier that heating small sections like this.

I bought this wax brand 'Otter wax'. It says to just store the garment in a warm dry place for 24 hours but I've done so much to it and it seems like it still hasn't set. I've used a hair dryer on it for like an hour, let it set in a black trashbag in the sun for several hours (it got up to 88 degrees today), rubbed in the wax more with a brush. But you can tell there is still white wax on them. So now I just put them in my attic in a black trash bag because it gets hot up there. Might just leave them there for a couple days.

If you use dental flass or similar thickness thread, I would double the thread as it will have much less of a tendency to create a tearout. The best to use is 100% cotton thread doubled up, at least, and hand wax coated by drawing it through the same wax you use for the pants. If you want to make extra, sure, there is little to no tearout. After doing the whip stitch, go back through the holes in a zigzag. This can be a little overkill for some and time-consuming, but it will make them last much longer with little to no tearout.

After a late 40s 'growth spurt' I ended up with a few pairs of pants that don't fit so well. I've been turning one into a 'bush bag' and another into gaiters. I've been looking for a simple wax application method just like this to wax them without having to use liquid wax: I have a nosy pitbull that would figure a way to spill it on me!

Fairly labor intensive. I prefer thinning silicone caulk in naphtha and soaking the garments in that because it is very fast, silicone lasts a long time, it is way more fire and heat resistant, and adds very little weight (and if you do the thinning ratio right, you can keep the material more breathable). I also prefer using linen or hemp over cotton because these are stronger and slightly more insulating when covered in silicone, wax, or the like. That is because both linen and hemp fibers are hollow tubes, and unless they are soaked with water, they are good at stilling air and thus insulating. Linen is slightly better than hemp because the fibers tend to be finer, and finer fibers are better at still air (though, more so in layers or loft), and it also feel softer on the skin (the larger the fibers, the more scratchy a material feels). The downside is that linen tends to be more loosely woven than cotton and so it will be less water resistant (though, this is better for summer because it breathes far better). A good tip is that if it is very wet, or very cold, wearing some polypropylene (PP) baselayers underneath will help to keep you dryer and warmer, at low weight. But wear some odor reducing underwear underneath these, because PP tends to build up and retain bad odor quickly and easily. A note on wool: There are two things that I really like about wool and one thing that I really dislike (and which outweighs what I like). What I like is that wool is great at reducing odor and it is extremely fire resistant. What I dislike is that it absorbs A LOT and holds onto moisture once it is wetted out. Treating it with lanolin helps to make it more surface water resistant, but it still absorbs a lot of moisture vapor. On a side note, if you want a pair of pants that is very water resistant (if the weave is tight) and dries very fast, using 100% polyester pants and treating with silicone accomplishes that. Nylon is the next best. But if you're doing a silicone treatment, the pants/materials have to be free of DWR type coatings, otherwise the silicone will not adhere to the fibers. Obviously these have issues with melting in relation to sparks, so they are not the best with being close to open fires a lot.

This is great! Good to hear a solid wax mixture to use. I run both my anorak and fjellräven pants through the tumble dryer after a complete layer of wax. And then 3 times more or less, until Im out of wax. The wear and tear parts get priority. A tumble dryer makes the wax soak in so incredibly even and almost remove any marks of any wax have been applied. Ironing though, has the worst result I've seen. It works, but it's not very effective. Solid heat on a larger area at the time absolutt makes it fun, and satisfying.

If they are properly waxed; of course they will be totally waterproof, 100%. Easy to wax any cotton type material; get paraffin wax (eg candle wax) and bee wax but what this video missed is to add some mineral oil (baby oil!). Mix everything together by placing a pan into another larger pan with boiling water which ensures the mixture cannot burn. Pour the mixture into moulds and let set - at least one hour. I make mine the size of bar of soap - I use silicone cake moulds. ‘Crayon’ on the wax and then use a heat gun to melt into the material - it’s easy to see where more wax is required as sparse areas will be lighter coloured. Once the wax cakes/bricks have been created it takes about 15 minutes to wax a coat completely.

Obviously a Labor of love! I have waxed several cheap haversacks I bought from Coleman's Military surplus for $10.00 each and they make great stove/cook kits and a range bag. I also waxed several bush hats and a couple of ball caps for wet weather use and they work very well. The rain runs off them, no problem. I mixed beeswax with the general wax you can buy for canning but I have no particular formula yet. Just what looks right! I always wondered what it would be like to wax a jacket let alone pants. I may eventually give it a try one day. It must take a lot of patience to rub it into the material as you do. I just brush mine on with an old paintbrush while the wax is hot and wet. It does clump that way. I then use a blow dryer to spread it out. The method I use from KZbin tends to make the fabric a bit stiff but I work it a bit and it seems ok. Thanks for sharing what you do to make your gear water-resistant. I always get something very valuable from your videos be it knots, camping tips, etc...

Nice video. I love my waxed hiking pants, they're from Fjallraven, one of the lighter weight fabrics, certainly not dirt cheap but also not hundreds of dollars/euros. Sturdy mixture of 65% polyester and 35% cotton, waxed 2 or 3 times with beeswax. Windproof, much more resistant to abrasion, water repellent to a degree (and indeed certainly not waterproof). Because of the fabric mixture and the fact that the cotton is thoroughly waxed, it doesn't hold that much water so especially in windy conditions, they dry out real fast. That baking/parchment paper is also ideal when you iron in the wax, very useful.

I was wondering if you could use Scotch Guard water repellant instead of the wax. Obviously it would be much more expensive to buy it, but it would be a lot easier to apply. Also, years ago, I used to play ice hockey and my equipment would smell pretty bad after a couple of games. So I would make up a mixture of bleach and water in a spray bottle. I had to dilute the bleach really well because I didn't want it to bleach out my equipment. I would spray it on and it worked really well to get rid of the bad smell, and my equipment didn't have a strong odor of bleach afterwards. (Too bad the rest of the guys on the team didn't do that! LOL!)

I'm unfamiliar with that product so I can't really say. If it's a water repellant spray I'm sure it would work Not sure about the longevity/how often it would need to be reapplied.
