Kamp-Rite Tent Cot

[>--Zen-Archer-->]

I have been looking to purchase a tent for my camping trips to the local lakes and springs and found a pretty neat idea.... Kamp-Rite makes what they call a "Tent Cot" that is either one man / Two man and sits off the ground. Anyone have any experience with these tents? Check out: http://www.tentcot.com/indexa.html

I haven't used one of those, but I have used an army surplus jungle hammock a couple of times. It's basically the same thing, but hanging between a couple of trees.

Sometimes it is nice to get up off the ground, but I didn't like the fact that I didn't have any room inside for gear.

Personally, I like a tent with a vestibule, where I can get my gear/shoes in out of the rain.

Plus, the cot doesn't fold up very small. You could get a BIG tent that would take up less room, have more room inside, and probably not weigh any more.

But I could be wrong

I have an offroading buddy who uses one of these. He sets it up and a canopy and is done with set up/break down in about 4 or 5 minutes. Not bad. If I were going to get one, I'd buy the xl one to have a little more room.

I use one of these hammocks for kayaking www.hennessyhammock.com/ . They are well made and set up easily almost anywhere very quickly. Not sure exactly what you are looking for but you might give them a look.
