   Bulky in my pack for starters. Tried it out last night finally. It was 56 degrees out and clear. Just me by myself but thought in an emergency my small wife could be in here too. I could not get comfortable enough to sleep. My lower half was too hot, upper was to cold. Eventually I realized that my arms would touch the sides of the tent and they were getting wet from all the condensation. The entire tent was soaked on the inside. Not sure if there is a solution to this besides keeping the doors open but I could get a much smaller easier to pack tube tent that has the same issue… Also, it might seem obvious but I have to say it is pretty difficult to get into without getting dirt and stuff into the tent.

   Havent had occasion to use this but it looks much more substantial than the (not actually waterproof) mylar sack that I had when stranded overnight on a flooded riverbank in torrential rain. Not as convenient to pack, but Ive reworked my priorities. I did buy 2additional tent pegs and will add the clips to hold the flaps closed. Learned a lot in one nasty night. Hope not to have to use it.

   Ok this tent is great for an emergency. It is true it has a cancer warning on the package but this is not something you would use everyday and it’s merits outweigh, what I consider minimal health risks. It is the nicest of emergency tents I have seen and I have looked at a lot of them. Since I am a small female, I wanted a tent I could set up alone, that would be lightweight and fit my emergency bag. This tent folds up flat and it is very light. It is pliable so you can just slide it and it’s plastic bag right inside a backpack and it will mold right to the sides of the bag. Unlike other tube tents this one comes with one end sealed and the other with rain flaps. You can always get better tent pegs and replace the cord with some military grade paracord. I just aired the tent out for awhile. I really don’t see that the health issue is that big a concern in this case given that, by definition it is emergency shelter. Personally I am happy with the purchase. But if the health warning is an issue for you it is on the bag so you might want to keep looking.

   Better than I expected and it appears that it would do the job for which it is intended. I haven’t used it in the field and my review is based upon inspecting it at my home. Hopefully I never need to use this but it is a good addition to my pack which already has a tarp shelter in it. I am happy with it for the price I paid.

   This is great bye, and looks and does feel durable. Its a tent on it’s own definitely will be adding it to my pack.Yet to try it out could be my go to tent on my next trip as it can go up very quickly. Shipping packing great service
   CONS: it’s orange will camo it to blend in the bush.

   This is a better tube tent than the plastic ones by virtue that one end is closed and the other has flaps that can be tied shut. This offers some wind protection and you’ll stay warmer more easily. It won’t keep all bugs out but if it’s raining I don’t mind swatting a few bugs if it means I’m staying dry. Just remember to add some clothes pins to keep the tent pulled tight at the top, and maybe replace the included rope with some paracord. The tent pins are a nice addition. It doesn’t fold down very compact because of the thicker material. Unless you have a larger back pack this would have a better home in your vehicle emergency kit. I made a shelter kit with this tent including paracord, clothes pins, and just for fun a solar lawn light bought for a buck at the local big box store. When setting it up, be sure to have soft ground cover and use a blanket inside if possible because the durability of the floor material seems dubious against wear and tear at best. I wouldn’t recommend making this your “regular” tent, but in an emergency it will be far better than nothing.

   Inexpensive tube ten which is closed in the back and has flaps in the front. Has over all good reviews and bought to go in my bag in case if needed. Packed dimensions are 13.4″ x 11″ x 2″ and fits well in front of my backpack. Being a large potato chip bag (Material does not ventilate), I expect condensation and the reviews I have seen verify this, but in a pinch I can live with that, and the reviews show it is not the sturdiest of builds, but for the price and purpose, I am happy to have it if needed.

   Great item, light weight, back is sealed so only cold and weather entrance is the front. Very easy to erect, stays warm inside. Not super durable but will work for several emergencies if needed, depends on how hard you treat it. Would buy again for sure.

   Have not used it.
   It appears to be good quality and it is folded nicely to fit in any backpack. Bought it for my bugout bag / emergencies only. Another tool for any emergency at a reasonable price.
