Coughlans Tube Tent: Lightweight Emergency Shelter, 8-Foot Length Reviews
| 17 of 19 people found the following review helpful  great shelter option for an emergency, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Coughlans Tube Tent: Lightweight Emergency Shelter, 8-Foot Length (Misc.) We live on a fault zone and our area has exsperienced a huge earthquake in the past.As well we are prone to tornados.Also we hunt and hike a lot and there have been a couple of times when I was a bit turned around and ended up spending a night in the woods.Because of this I put together an emergency kit just in case the worst happens.Among the items I chose is this tent.It is lightweight enough to carry without noticeing it,in fact you could fit it in a shirt pocket.But if needed it will keep rain/snow/dew off of you in the event you find yourself in need of something overnight to stay in. 4 of 5 people found the following review helpful  Emergecny Use Only and Questionable, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Coughlans Tube Tent: Lightweight Emergency Shelter, 8-Foot Length (Misc.) This is def not a great or a well made item. It is about the thickness of two one time use panchos but much larger. It will do in a pinch. Even at only $10.00 I was surprised that is was so thin; you can actually see right thru it. It is light weight and if the weather isn't bad/ not too hot nor too cold it would do. It doesn't have any sides so you could cut some large trash bags to cover the sides to keep rain out if need be. Just don't forget to pack some duck tape with it.Honestly; I'd rather rely on a poncho or tarp it would offer much better protection and is so much studier. Not bad for dire emergency but I would spend an extra $5 or $7 and get a good tarp I think you'll be much better protected. I don't recommend the product.  Tent of Last Resort, By This review is from: Coughlans Tube Tent: Lightweight Emergency Shelter, 8-Foot Length (Misc.) Coughlans Tube Tent: Lightweight Emergency Shelter is what I would consider a last resort option when "something" is better than nothing. I have used this tent a couple of times and really was not impressed. Fortunately, I used it when the weather was not too bad although the temperature was in the low 20's. In inclement weather this tent will be completely ineffective especially in high winds, heavy rain or snow fall, etc.In an emergency situation the orange color is a good visual indicator if someone is looking for you. Another use for this tent is as a shade cover to provide protection from the sun especially if in a desert environment. If you have created an improvised shelter this tube tent can be placed on top to help keep rain from entering your shelter. Due to its small size it is worth throwing this tent in your gear just don't have very high expectations. |
