{"product_id":"katoma-tent-surplus","title":"US Catoma PopUp BedNet w. Rain Fly , Coyote Brown, Surplus","description":"\u003cp\u003eHere’s an awesome anti-mosquito bunker with a rain fly for camping, where insects reign in terror. A lightweight one-person shelter that protects you from rain and bloodsucking bastards. It snaps in place automatically and packs into a compact bundle. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeloved children have many names. Officially, this is called the Improved Bed Net System (IBNS); the tag on the product says \"BedNet PopUp,\" and in the civilian market, similar ones are sold under the name Catoma Burrow. NSN: 3740-01-518-7310. In practice, it is a fiberglass-framed mosquito net for outdoor sleepers that actually works. Made in the USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe system was originally designed to fit securely onto a military cot with webbing and side-release buckles on all four corners. However, the Marines liked it so much that they were using it in the field, too. In response, Catoma released a new version that is sturdier and allows you to add a rainfly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe floor is made from Ripstop Nylon, and it has some sort of waterproofing; the poles are high-quality fiberglass. These come in Coyote Brown, which doesn’t look terrible in the forest either. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEarlier on, we got a batch of these without the rain fly, but this time it is included. It is attached on top of the BedNet, forming a very low-profile shelter. If you like a more open sleeping structure or really need to blend in, pair it with an M05 tarp. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IBNS is packed in the Coyote Brown carry bag that has a zipper closure, and that can be attached to your gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis should come with American mosquito repellents\/insecticides, but we removed them to be able to ship these. Note that some permethrin might have leaked onto the fabric\/mesh, and the soldiers probably have put both that and Deet on these on purpose. So don’t store this next to cats or set it up in any natural body of water, no matter how much you’d like to test the floor's waterproofness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are lucky, you might get a few tent pegs as a bonus, but don't count on it, because not all have them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eVideos\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the image gallery, you’ll find a couple of videos on the setup and packing of the civilian version. This milsurp model works exactly the same way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUS military surplus. These are used, so there may be some stains on the fabric and other signs of wear, along with that lovely military surplus aroma. However, they are in perfectly usable condition. You can even get rid of the smell by airing them out thoroughly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"United States","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53163898110291,"sku":"91294","price":92.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/1952\/9555\/files\/us_catoma_popup_bed_net_coyote_brown_surplus-065ba5b25e83aa_c46d2b0b-98d6-4b92-bb7c-33e6f08ca97e.jpg?v=1785321273","url":"https:\/\/varusteleka.com\/en-li\/products\/katoma-tent-surplus","provider":"Varusteleka","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
