Fabric – cotton-polyester – a touch of history

What on earth is a loue ?

A loue is an open-fire shelter that is completely open on one side. It provides protection from wind and rain, but allows you to light a fire in front of the loue, making the most of the heat from the fire.  It is possible to install several Loue’s around the same campfire, place the Loue’s around the campfire facing each other.

For whom the Base Camp model product is designed

This giant-sized loue is designed to be used by a larger group, for example as a cooking shelter in a base camp. For hosting a private party or just in your own backyard for a camping-minded barbecue.

The loue is easy to set up

You can hang the upper part of the loue on a tree or branch, you also need a long and sturdy central beam (350 cm) which can be made of wood or metal. From the end of the central pole, the loue is attached to the wood with a pipe nail and fastened with the Quicklok buckles supplied with the product. The base of loue is fixed to the ground with pegs (sold separately). Always pitch up the back of loue to the wind, if possible. This will block most of the wind, and the remaining wind will blow the smoke from the campfire away so smoke will not roll in to loue.

M20 Base Camp Loue weight

The M20 Bace Camp loue from Finnrover weighs approximately 2.8 kg, for the material used this is a light loue. You use a long branch from the terrain as a beam for the loue, saving you the hassle of carrying it with you.

Genuinely Finnish

The Finnrover Loue is the only truly Finnish open-fire shelter. The Loue is a wedge-shaped cloth which is sewn in a circle at the front and at the back, which is either tuned to a wooden pole or stretched over the top corner of the wood with string. The hemispherical back is fixed to the ground by pegs.

The shaped loue described has been used by forest walkers for more than 80 years. The FinnRover Loue is an exact copy of the original open fire lounge developed by A.E. Järvinen and manufactured by Kullervo Kemppinen.

Key Flag and Design from Finland

FinnRover Louves carry the Avainlippu- and Desing from Finland emblems, a symbol of Finnish work and Finnish design.
