I'm looking for a British-issued basha that is sold in the U.S. I've found many, but they're all sold in the UK or are not real bashas. Does anyone know of a military surplus carrier that sells these in the U.S.? I'm looking for the brit version of woodland camo (not desert like the pic below). Bashas are very tough pieces of equipment and have heavy duty eyelets. Thanks. NOTE: I have a Swack Shack, but I'm looking for a basha (specifically). **Not interested in discussing why I can't just use a poncho or a tarp. I'm specifically looking for a basha.

I still haven't found a U.S. company that sells these. As my original post stated, I do not want to purchase from an over-seas company (i.e., I don't want to pay shipping). However, I found this and I think I'll give her a go until I run across a Basha. I like the ability to use it as a poncho and I like the utility of a pocket.

Aussie Hoochies The Brit Basha sounds like the Australian Hoochie (half shelter) used by the Aussie military....two half shelters can be joined together with press-studs to make a shelter for two. These should be readily available from online stores / e-bay. Australian Hoochie Tarp Flysheet - Jon's Bushcraft SHOP Gear Review.

Under certain atmospheric conditions, internal condensation can be an issue, though if the walls are angled correctly and the hoochie kept taut, condensation should run down the tarp instead of dripping on the sleeper/s below. Digging shallow, surface water diversion drainage trenches is highly recommended.
