Glad you asked that question.
Last October is was up in the mountains with this and a bad storm hit at about 1AM. it was perfect. The sides are really strong and the roof is even stronger. When you add the rain fly, its even better.

Ive never seen one of these ? but it looks cool. Didn't see the weight on it though ?.
this is for packing in a vehicle only i would think. No way your packing this into the woods.

it is pretty heavy, but it does fold up pretty nice and compact.

I do like it. I go with a hunting buddy in the winter for 2 or 3 days in the sticks.
It would be nice to set up camp & whip that out lol instant little shelter .
My buddy would be ......... I want One !!

Cool, I like the idea of being off the ground, unlike a tent you won't wake up in a pool of water

I've had that happen to me numerous times waking up in a pool of water That Cot tent thing looks very interesting. Do they sell it in stores not online?

I've seen this thing in many catalogs, and it's a good thing. But too heavy to carry on a hiking trip.

One could probably make one of these out of some waterproof duckcloth and aluminum poles. It wouldnt stand up to much, but could be a spring/summer/fall shelter. Just an idea.
