canvas for lean-to shelter Explanation: 'Lean-to shelter' seems to be exactly the same as 'laavu', as it is described in this page. http://www.mycamouflage.co.uk/free2.asp 'Laavukangas' is the canvas that you use (if you have one) instead of all those 'whatever you can find to thatch' descibed in the above-mentioned page. |

tenting sheet / ground sheet for the construction of a lean-to shelter or a basher Explanation: I'm afraid you're hitting cross-cultural differences here; a 'laavu' is unique to Finland. UK army personnel make a similar temporary shelter from a groundsheet called a 'basher'. Source: an ex-Army officer (husband)! |
