It should be genuine Military Specced Canvas as it was Brand new & out of the box with the MiL P/n on it, & the Canvas & that did smell lurvely.
Weather here is being a tad unpredictable so getting the right days could be a problem but I'll give it a go & trust to luck.  Maybe a nice drive up to Queensland for a few days might help.[bigrolf]
Then again, I may wait until I get some decent sunshine & get a good choice of Movie as they suggest.  A cuppa is never a problem in this house & maybe something long  like "Gone with the wind".
