Ermergencies Only! | |
| Rating: |  |
| I decided to try this tube tent as i would use a normal tent. After two nights I am better off with a REAL tent. The tube tent should be used for Emergencies Only! Condensation builds up quick if both ends are closed and the smallest wind will knock the drops on you. I also would not recommend spending an entire night in the rain as it is difficult to keep water out of it. As I said above use for Emergencies Only! Other than that it is great keeping you dry in a small rain shower. | |

| we were very stupid and went camping up in the tetons with two of these and some cheap sleeping bags, not knowing the amount of snow awaiting us at the top. it got to about 15 degrees that night and we frose our butts off. these things were cheap, a wind tunnel, and just plain bad. it was our own dang fault, but these things didnt give much help | |

Emergency preparation | |
| Rating: | |
| As other reviewers have noted, a tube tent provides a miserable night at best. It's a worthwhile addition to an emergency kit because a miserable night is better than a deadly one. Use drip strings to keep rain from running down the guy line. Take advantage of terrain and vegetation to provide additional shelter. Carry clothespins or gator clips to partially seal the upwind end. Be creative in pitching; use it as a giant poncho. Use your poncho as a door. Try it out in your backyard to learn its foibles before you have to use it in an emergency on the mountain. This product can be a useful addition to a bug out bag or emergency kit if one plans ahead. | |
