Product Description
We live on a fault zone and our area has exsperienced a huge earthquake in the past.As well we are prone to tornados.Also we hunt and hike a lot and there have been a couple of times when I was a bit turned around and ended up spending a night in the woods.Because of this I put together an emergency kit just in case the worst happens.Among the items I chose is this tent.It is lightweight enough to carry without noticeing it,in fact you could fit it in a shirt pocket.But if needed it will keep rain/snow/dew off of you in the event you find yourself in need of something overnight to stay in.

The Coughlan's Tube Tent is designed for emergency situations in which a shelter must be erected quickly, and search and rescue personnel must be signaled. This rugged 2.5 mil polyethylene shelter is fire retardant and lightweight. Shelter sets up in minutes and provides enough room for 2 people. Cord included. Directions: 1. Feed the cord through the Tube and tie to available trees, post, car door, etc. For Maximum floor width suspend so the cord 2 1/2 to 3 feet above the ground. 2. Spread floor out as illustrated and place sleeping bags or other gear (rocks or small logs will do) to hold the sidewalls in place and anchor the corners.
