I like it! That is even simpler than my dome tent and air mattress which I use my first and last night on Playa. That is if I arrive early enough to actually get some sleep... It truly is great to have a minimal set up to put away before hitting the road. I recommend it.

Ahem..Elorrum wrote:my burn night tent. I can't break camp on Sunday and expect to drive home in less than 10 hours it seems. So, I'll pack up everything but the bike and this tent on Saturday. It's a theory.
Pardon my noobishness...
Is this a tent that's on a platform? Does that mean that if it rains your tent is 8 inches lower and cemented to the playa when it dries? What's the benefit to keeping your tent off the ground? Can heavy people get in your tent?

I use Dollor Tree "cheap" windsheild reflecters on the cot under the sleeping bag.. The cheap one's have a foam backing.. Keeps em from slipping around..AntiM wrote:I'd think it will get cold because the air can circulate under. Do you have a sleeping pad or mat?
Put them in under the cat bed(s) in the winter too..

I do this too! I have a nice thermarest, and the combination has kept me warm in a nylon hammock... if you want to see what a cold bottom and back feel like, try a thin hammock with no insulation.unjonharley wrote:I use Dollor Tree "cheap" windsheild reflecters on the cot under the sleeping bag..

holy cow! It just arrived! Is it bad luck to set up a tent indoors? EAsy, and quick... but a bit heavy... and folded up is not much smaller than a large tent.. 8x8x40. The tent zips to the cot, and can be set up on the ground as a tent alone. Comes with a rain fly too. all the black triangles in the photo are mesh windows that can be opened or closed up from the inside. Good ventilation. a fairly standard size cot, good length. I think I'll camp in the living room tonight.

I think so, seems very sturdy, but as narrow as a cot. I got the model that is the lower end of their price offering, but it is 18" off the ground. They also make an oversize, and a deluxe double that fold more like a standard lawn recliner at 11" off ground, and can be used as a recliner as well. Base looks very sturdy. These also come with a pad included. Kamp-Rite. I shopped around and surprisingly found the best prices at Sears. Can't beat the shipping time, that was a real surprise. three days? free shipping too for the holidays. I'm finding some surprising features I didn't expect: 2 gear bags hanging from the ceiling, and a mesh storage bag underneath.theCryptofishist wrote:Sounds like a pretty nice thing for those of us who cannot sleep on the floor...

I'm always happy with more, cooler, lights.
