 Tent - perfect for B.O.B. September 1, 2009

I purchased this tent for my BOB bag I keep in case of emergencies. I had the opportunity to test this in a test to see if I was missing anything in my bag, and it had just rained the whole day except for the night. In Florida it was a good thing to cool things down a bit, with a tarp, I stood dry and within the tent, and it kept all those bugs out of the tent at night so I can try to sleep. Had a tarp that I would normally use under the tent but instead put on top of the tent for add extra rain protection in case it down poured at night which never happened. The bottom of the floor of the tent was tarp like material so I felt a little safer from wetness. I was so wet, we could not get a fire to stay lit, since it rained all day and we arrived at night to setup the tents. No problem with the tents. They lasted all night with leaking or problems, even was a sinch to setup once you get the pegs pre-tied. Suggest if you purchase this tent for the same reason I did that you...
Purchase some yellow plastic tent pegs, a tarp, big enough to cover the tent, bungee cords to hold the tarp down (if used on top of tent), some soft floor for comfort in sleeping (sleeping bag would have worked here) all I took was blanket and a pillow of some sort (could use backpack) The size of the tent was ok for one person with room for your gear.. Perfect for what I need it for. I give this tent an 5 star.

I used this tent on a recent backpacking trip. Took up very little room in my backpack and was nice and light. Setup was a breeze. I sprayed it with a waterproofing silicone before my first trip. Glad I did because this tent kept me nice and dry during the rain. Fit one person and gear comfortably. Two people would fit without any gear. The zippers worked very well. I would suggest this product to anyone based on my recent experience using it.

I have always found myself in an a frame tent whether im camping, hunting, or doing my annual disapear into the south hills of idaho for a month. This is a good at best tent. Somethings ive DIY'd on this tent: Sewed zippers on the storm flaps, haha, more like dew storm flaps, seam seal taped ALL the seams, used my own guylines(5mm polycord), swapped the "chopsticks" for some real stakes (if you use the black ones tie some ribbon on them so you dont lose them in the bush.), and sewed zippers and the rear storm flap on the INSIDE! =)I bought this tent because i loved the price and im a camo kind of guy, the camo is a bit to light to do any real stealthy camping. Somethings i love: The thick ripstop tub floor (nice on wet ground), Zippered masquiter net, nice material for body of tent, alloy poles, low weight (I hike average 18mi a day with up to 9,500ft of change). I've had this tent for over 5months now and some signs of wear are coming up,(then again im in it every weekend, and days off, a solid 14days a month), nothing someone crafty cant repair. Ducktape! This tent is small, me, my wife, and my 20ga (old trusty), barely fit without touching the walls. Overall good little tent, will use till it turns to dust.

Okay, let's be honest. This tent is 25 bucks. You're not getting a Eureka, or a Marmot, or a Big Agnes or Sierra Designs or anything else that is $100-$300 dollars. It's not for mountaineering or winter camping, and it's not going to hold up in a serious thunderstorm. But for 25 bucks, it's probably the best thing on the market for the casual outdoorsman or backpacker on a tiny budget.
I bought mine for short overnight hikes and backyard camping to introduce my sons to the outdoors. The design is based on your typical military pup tent, or the Marine Corps' boot camp version of two ponchos snapped together and pitched over two end poles. But this is a bit better since it actually zips up and the ends aren't open.
I was actually surprised with the tent's durability and overall performance. C'mon, I bought it at a big-box store for dirt cheap. How long should I expect it to last? I was thinking one season at most. Instead I've had this little guy for 5 years. Used it a handful of times each summer and have never really had any problems with it. It worked great for a cross-country motorcycle trip. It was small and lightweight enough to strap across the top of my sissy bar bag without changing the ride dynamic at all. Kept me dry through some sprinkles and cool nights in the Appalachians.
The floor is made out of the same material as your standard blue tarp, but it's OD green. And the tent is made out of material like a windbreaker, but with a slightly rubbery feel to it, but not quite as heavy as a military poncho. It's very water resistant and will keep you dry from dew and a light shower, but it's not a heavy duty waterproof tent. I've never had water leak through the floor, and condensation is moderate inside. If you keep the flaps open on the back window, and leave the front door partway open (screened) it vents decently.
If you've never pitched a pup tent, it may take you an hour the first time. But if you've ever been in the military or boy scouts, you'll be able to set this up in the dark in less than 5 minutes. If you keep your guy lines pre-tied on the sides of the tent, and looped for the main poles, you can set this up blindfolded.
Another recommendation is to replace the tiny black wire stakes with some lightweight but heavy duty aluminum or titanium stakes (get them from Coghlan's or MSR). This isn't critical, but it will make it much easier to pitch and tear down. And replace the factory guy lines with some 550-cord. Spray the tent down with some waterproofing from your local camping store, and head out on the trail.
Best for: backyard, weekend camping, casual outdoorsman, teaching your kids & entry level campers, people on a Wal-Mart budget.
