The best polish lavvu modification

[@d.foster1317]

I purchased this mod from Bushcraft Spain and I must say that I am extremely pleased with it. The quality could not be better. The stitching is perfect everywhere! I have new, never issued size 3 poncho's and everything is a perfect fit and the color of the fabric is exactly the same. It adds so much more room that you won't believe until you try it yourself. The mod is well worth the price. You could not buy the canvas, sew it or have it sewn for you and even come close to the quality of this mod. I use the Apex 5 modular system to put mine up which eliminates the two center support poles. I bought 6 foot squeegee poles to use for the supports in the Apex 5, which is available on Etsy. They are actually about 4 inches too short for the size 3 which makes it a bit lower in height but, gives you a wider footprint at the bottom inside. I also used a squeegee pole cut to length for the ridge pole inside. Using this mod opens up a whole new world of usefulness for these ponchos. The people at Bushcraft Spain are the absolute best ever to deal with, fast shipping, excellent communication and so on. It just doesn't get any better!

Cześć. Some explanation. "Polish lavvu" isn't correct name of this tent. Name "lavvu" is from the Sami (Laponian) language and means a Sami tent, kind of lower tipi. In Polish we don't have and use this word: lavvu.. and when U are using it, it's a mistake and funny. No Pole or Slav call it "lavvu". It's like calling the Indian teepee or Lapland lavvu using the name: plash palatka... or more correctly the pwashch pawatka (Polish: płaszcz pałatka). I know that the name "Polish lavvu" has become popular and that this tent exists in the world under this name but ... I will describe briefly the situation that took place in the Polish Military Property Agency where such a tent could be purchased: when, out of curiosity whether he would associate this name, I used the words: Polish lavvu, the seller - soldier - did not know what it was about. He immediately knew the word "pałatka" (your "palatka"). Our army does not use this name "LAVVU" either ;-) Your "plash palatka" is an incorrect attempt to English transliterate the Polish name of this coat-tent. It should be "pwashch" or - making things a bit easier - "plashch" (Polish "płaszcz"), which means coat. Palatka (Polish "pałatka"), means tent and should also be written and pronounced slightly differently, because the closest equivalent of the letter "ł" is the English "w". The completely correct English pronunciation/transliteration of these words would be: p-w-a-s-h-c-h p-a-w-a-t-k-a (w as in "walk", sh as in "show", ch as in "cherry", ). Use a translator with pronunciation to check the pronunciation of these words: PŁASZCZ PAŁATKA in Polish and you'll understand what's going on. Płaszcz pałatka means coat-ten, a tent made of a mantle/coat, two in one. We call it short pałatka. Additionally, if you said "plash" (or plash palatka) to a Polish who doesn't watch English-language bushcraft movies, he or she wouldn't know what it meant, because the word means nothing. He would definitely associate the word plashch, especially if you pronounced it as pwashch ;-)

Great video young man thank you for letting me come along! I will watch you and Tom's videos and stay in the warm house LOL! Thank you sir!

[@Funkteon]

You should make a video showing people how you put it together and erect the tent with the modification, as it's a little more complicated when you have two poles to deal with instead of one...

[@Funkteon]

Thankyou for the review - I just bought this tarp based purely on your review, as it seems to be the only video review I could find anywhere on the web. This modification makes the Lavvu without a doubt the best mid-sized hot-tent in existence...

[@northern_woodsmen]

Thank you very much 👏🏻 I’m really happy that you like it. Did you use the discount code “northern” 😊

[@Funkteon]

@@northern_woodsmen Unfortunately, I forgot to use your code to get the small discount, however, please alert Bushcraft Spain to my purchase (Order #28388 - 01/12/2021) so they know it was you who convinced me to buy their Lavvu modification :D

[@ungovernable_ftp]

Can u close it up with the stove running inside?

[@Funkteon]

@@ungovernable_ftp Yes, but you should always have a carbon monoxide detector in the tent with you if you plan on closing it up completely while the stove is burning...

[@kungalsubohm5046]

i bought them the same as you , top notch ! love bushcraft spain :)

[@sebastiannowak6187]

I'm Polish. I have been using these tents for 25 years. Summer autumn Winter Spring… Desert, forests, mountains… They have never let me down! I always have them with me.

[@EliteManMonkey]

Does Poland still make these?

[@winter_and_bushcraft]

That's a nice lavvu 🌲🤠🏕 Looks pretty cozy in there 🔥👌 Thanks for sharing and greetings from Germany 😉

[@BinManSays87]

I've got one of these and it's insane how much of a difference they make, personally it's made me think about getting a reproduction lavvu as a back up

[@GreytOutdoorsMedic]

What are the dimensions of the modification?

[@timberdogz]

Great modification!

[@choppermike3329]

Hej Martín, A really great modification, it's a shame that I sewed my Polish tent. I wish you and your family a nice before christmas time 🏕🎄🇩🇰 Hilsen fra Tyskland Dirk

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays 🎅 Un Saludo.....

[@raffaeleiuliano4339]

Where did u get the wood burners

[@BrosephRussell]

That is pretty awesome

[@FireFighter1374]

Do it work with all sizes 1-3 Martin? And what size are you using?

[@edaforst]

Super

[@alexandergutfeldt1144]

Thanks for the review! How far of the ground is the 'arm-hole' in the 'modification', when the tent is closed. I've used the 'arm-holes' in the poncho for the flue of my tent stove, but I wonder if the holes in the modification isn't a bit too close to the ground! What are your thoughts?

Говори громче (Будь увереннее, по доброму! )

[@rcash3625]

Overpriced.. What's the dimensions of the tarp?... Can save over a hundred bucks buying your own canvas tarp from elsewhere.

[@Dariet88]

The price is amazing

[@Jonathan-ch3eq]

How does it look closed up with the wood burner running?

[@Jonathan-ch3eq]

Does the front of that lavvu still close up ok where you got that stove positioned ? Apologise for the stupid question
