Size info

This isn’t an ultralight hiker's dream since the whole tube weighs 4.8 kg (10.6 lbs). And it is quite bulky to carry in your backpack. Not pure horror though. You can, of course, split it up between your traveling companion. And if you travel by car, canoe, motorbike, or boat, it is quite a nice shelter.

  • When packed: 57 x 16 cm (22.5" x 6.5")
  • Sleeping quarters: n. 210 x 135 cm (82.5" x 53")
  • Max inner height: c. 127 cm (50")
  • Outer measurements: 232 x 145 cm (91.5" x 57")

You can fit two sleepers quite comfortably inside. And since both have their own entrance, you won’t need to crawl semi-erotically over each other to get in unless you really want to. Both have their own vestibules between the tent and the rain fly that can fit regular hiking gear pretty nicely.

Package contents

In addition to the tent and the two-sided rain fly there are three tent poles, a bunch of tent pegs, and their carrying bags in the package. The pegs might also include some authentic surplus sand.

As a bonus, there either is or isn’t a repair kit included in the package. If it is there, you should have some patches of the tent wall, floor, and rainfly fabric, buckles, glue, a needle, etc. Even a thimble to protect your finger. This is a bonus feature because we cannot guarantee that all repair stuff is included with every tent or that the glue even works anymore.

Description

Features

Comprises of two parts, the inner tent, and the outer rain fly. Setting up the tent is very easy, just stick the aluminum poles in the holes, and the thing pops up. The first time might not work as smoothly as in the movies, so you should try it out before the trip.

Openings and cavities

This tent has two doors, so both campers have their own entrance. In addition to the sleeping space, there's also a separate porch for each person’s boots and rucksack. The tent is completely insect-proof thanks to the solid floor and very tight mesh. You can also zip up the nylon doors. These coupled with the rain fly make the tent "blacked out" so no light comes in or out. A very good feature in military use. There is no window so if you encounter more condensed water you’d like, leave the solid door a bit open or sleep with just the insect door closed.

The specified operating temperature range is from -18 ºC to 49 ºC (0 ºF to 120 ºF), and the tent can withstand steady winds of 17.9 m/s (40 mph).

Condition

Jan-u-wine US army stuff. Yeah, these are ex-US military tents made from quality materials in the USA. The manufacturers vary.

In used condition: there's some wear here and there, but everything works. There might be some dirt stains and a small hole or some on the insect net. If you’re picky, you should repair them if encountered. Overall these are in quite good condition. However, they have been packed away for some time, and thus the odor can be a bit special. We recommend setting up the tent with doors open and letting it air out for a while. Otherwise, your first romantic camping night might be truly unforgettable. Note that these don’t seem to smell as strongly as the previous batch.
