Rothco's waxed cotton canvas offers natural water resistance without synthetic coatings, making it ideal for outdoor use near campfires and fireplaces. Unlike nylon that can melt from sparks or polyester that degrades in UV exposure, waxed canvas becomes more supple over time while maintaining its protective barrier against moisture. The heavy-duty construction withstands sharp bark edges and split wood without tearing, and the material is naturally flame-resistant compared to synthetic alternatives.

The 38" x 28" dimensions allow you to carry approximately 8–12 split logs (depending on diameter) or a full evening's worth of campfire wood in a single trip. The open-end design means you're not limited by fixed length—carry 16" fireplace logs or longer 24" campfire wood equally well. The reinforced leather trim strap and box-X stitched handles support loads up to 50+ pounds, eliminating multiple trips from your woodpile.

Absolutely. The flexible waxed canvas construction rolls or folds completely flat to about 2" thick, making it perfect for storing behind truck seats, in RV storage compartments, or hanging on a garage hook via the brass grommets. Unlike rigid metal or plastic carriers, this tote takes up minimal space when not hauling firewood—ideal for seasonal use or overlanding setups where storage is premium.

The central leather trim strap distributes weight across the carrier's base, preventing sagging and canvas fatigue that plague all-fabric designs. Leather-wrapped web handles with brass grommets and box-X stitching create reinforced stress points that won't rip out under 40–50 lb loads. This hybrid construction (SKU 71080) combines canvas flexibility with leather durability at high-wear zones—a design advantage over budget carriers that fail at the handles first.

The waxed cotton canvas is cured and won't transfer wax to clothing or upholstery under normal use. However, in very hot conditions (like a closed vehicle in summer sun), minimal wax bloom may appear on the surface—simply wipe with a dry cloth. The water-resistant finish is designed to shed moisture and dirt rather than absorb it, so the carrier stays cleaner than untreated canvas and won't leave bark debris or sap residue in your truck bed.
