Best Uses Comments about Coghlan's Emergency Tube Tent: Although extremely limited in their utility, tube tents are valuable additions to emergency kits. They set up quickly and easily when you're cold and wet. They allow you to get out of the weather, providing just enough shelter to help you through an awful night, especially when combined with a space blanket and chemical hand warmer. They're cheap and small enough to fit in most emergency kits.

Comments about Coghlan's Emergency Tube Tent: This orange plastic tube tent doesn't look like much, in fact, it can appear quite cheap, but it can come in quite handy as an improvised shelter for Search & Rescue work. I own a couple of these and sometimes include them in my presentations. I used one of mine again just a couple weeks ago in mid winter in the Ozarks and was quite comfortable. Compared to a silnyl tarp it is heavier and bulkier and because part of it becomes the floor it is vulnerable to punctures and cuts. Because of this the part used for the floor should probably be pitched that way each time or you could invite leaks when it precipitates. I am in the process of transitioning back to a silnyl tarp but will still include these in my presentations as a cost-effective alternative and great for beginners. This hi-vis color is a plus too for SAR.

Floor dimension: 8' x 5'Answered on 6/14/2012 by Steve from Campmor
Q:
If the poles are not included where do you get them? How much are they?Asked on 2/10/2011 by Karen from Texas1 answer
A:
Coghlan's Emergency Tube Tent does not need poles because the tent is a line tent. You run a line through the tent and anchor the 4 sides. This is just an emergency shelter so it will not provide a lot of protection.Answered on 2/15/2011 by Steve from Campmor
