US GI Pup Tent - Shelter Half - Original

Our US GI Pup Tent or Shelter Half was the basic unit of shelter in the field for the U.S. Army as far back as the Civil War. The Army issue Pup Tent is an iconic piece of American military history. Each of these WW2 type tents was divided into two pieces, with two soliders each carrying half. A single half could be used as a temporary shelter for a single soldier, or two halves could be connected together for a comfortable 2 person tent. Today the canvas can be used for many things beyond it's original purpose, from fashion garments to wall coverings.

Each half is made of heavy duty canvas with button snaps around the outer edges.
