Cowboy Bedroll

This is a bedroll tarp I recently completed. It is made from one piece of 7' x 17' 18oz Canvas Duck. Use this for throwing a foam mattress, sheets, and blankets in it for a really comfortable outdoor bed. However, one could simply throw their sleeping bag in it too. This bedroll comes complete with four snaps to keep it folded up and two snaps to keep the 4' flap folded over for those serious outdoor people who prefer to sleep outside without a tent!

Place your mattress, sheets, and blankets (or sleeping bag) like the photo to left being sure to leave at least 7' of material BELOW your bedding. 

Next, bring the bottom material up and over your bedding.

Now, fold in the sides so that they meet in the middle and snap it up.  Also, fold over the remaining four feet and snap.  Now you're ready to roll everything up.

There's the finished bedroll ready for camping.
