Code:TAS-HUTCH-AMC-OS

Same product with many names, Hutchie, Hoochie, Hootchie, Bivouac Shelter or Basha is used particularly by the British Army, the Australian Army (colloquially known as a "hooch", "hoochie" or "hutchie"), the New Zealand Army and the Singapore Armed Forces as a shelter while in the field or on operations. They are lightweight and can be put up rapidly, and camouflaged simply with foliage specific to the area of operation. Their low profile gives them a small silhouette. Normally bashas are erected in woods, as the trees both serve to give visual cover and support the basha through bungee cords or rope. Because they are nearly invisible if well camouflaged, they are ideal for forming covert observation posts.

Made of 75 Denier Polyester taffeta with a water head rating of 2000mm. This has hand painted waterproof seams, non-rust copper studs with a heavy duty webbing and reinforced stress points.
