Camp Rag - Burn Proof Work Cloth built from Durable Kevlar Fabric w/ Lanyard Grommet.

A flame retardant work rag used to tend to a fire, grasp hot equipment or recently fired barrel/suppressor, shield from flames, soak up a grease spill, shield during a parry from blade based attacks, etc. Works great as a fireproof mat to get your tinder bundle lit then transfered to kindling. Equipped with grommet for attaching to lanyard, key ring, etc. Built and crafted with 2 layers of *Kevlar, Nomex, or Aramid/Viscose fabric and stitched together with Aramid/Gutermann thread. Add a lanyard to upgrade hank's capability to starting a fire, setting a snare trap, fishing, or utilitarian tasks aided by a burnproof lanyard.

NOTES:

Camp Rag is absorbent to heat. While cloth is near impossible to burn or ignite, heat is easily transferred thru material and can burn hands if exposed to prolong heat while grasping.

*Kevlar is the primary fabric used in our camp rags but Nomex (up to 700°f with varying ANSI ratings) and generic aramid/viscose fabric may be used in some variants. 

TIPS:

Place Camp Rag atop a pot or mug of coffee while heating on an open flame to block ashes and debris.

Use as a barrel/suppressor wrap to protect from burns. Use Kevlar Lanyard to secure cover.

Cover an hot engine block while making mechanical adjustments under the hood.

Tend to a campfire and arrange logs and kindling.

Parry a blade based attack while protecting from offensive cuts.

Use as a pad/mat to lay out small disassembled parts while cleaning.

Improvise as an​ oven mitt. Use bungee cord to make a hook for hanging mitt by oven.

CARE + MAINTENANCE:

Wash this Hank anyway you want. It's durable. Throw in the machine wash, dry in the dryer, or clean by hand. Use any detergent. Just steer clear of bleach.
