Its the perfect little emergency tent to take on a day hike or outdoor backpacking adventure, its easy to set up and provides a lengthy protection from the weather. It fits one comfortably, and two people if you don't mind spooning through the weather/night. This tent is easy to set up between two trees or rocks. It is a must-have for any camper or overnight hiker.
- Great for sporting events, emergencies, camping, etc..
- Must-have for the lightweight backpacker
- Size: 8 1/4 feet x 6 feet
- Tube ten (no doors or zippers)
- Lightweight Only 10 ounces
This give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Nice for emergency or light duty use only.
This is as basic & no thrills as you get for a tent. It is meant for emergency use or for light applications only. Its very small & packable for day-packs, BOB's, GHB's, car etc. It is very bright & attention getting which is what you want in an emergency situation. It comes with some very cheap cord to use for setting it up. The cord is worthless & will not hold up if used around trees with rough bark or tied around rocks. Toss the supplied cord & carry either some 550 para-cord or tarred nylon twine instead.
2. Cheap, and also low priced
Tube tents are about the same material as a garbage bag. Hopefully no one thinks they can buy much of a tent for the price of a tube tent. I'd be happier if I could get a 10 or 12 foot tube tent. Since it stays open at both ends, it would be nice to have more overhang past my sleeping bag.

Too big for my EDC, but still good.
I originally bought this because I planned to try to incorporate it into my every day carry (EDC). Well it was way too big for my EDC, but otherwise looks like a decent survival shelter. It's made it's way into my glove box and it's been an item I've put in my day pack for longer hikes, just in case.
