Emergency Thermal Tent -Reflective Mylar Survival Shelter-XL Size Waterproof Lightweight Tube Tent- Insulated Retains Heat & Fits 2 Adults in All Weather- Outdoors, Hiking, Bug Out Bag- 8 x 3 Feet

I was told not to take this out of package unless in an emergency, so I won't be taking it out to review it, but it seems good. I got it because the ice storms are coming and apparently elderly cats can start hurting because of the cold at 50 degrees Fahrenheit. I have two elder cats and while I know I'll be fine just bundling up for a few days and lighting candles, I'm worried they'd be in a lot of pain especially if it gets below 50* in here. So I got this and figured we'd all just cuddle in it if we lose power. Hopefully I won't need it but I'm glad to have it.

I used this tent for an additional emergency tent in my survival kit.Thank you

NOT CAMO!!! Folks, "mylar" is silver reflective 99.99% of the time. What you see in the first picture is a reflection...the word "mylar" should have clued you into that. Also, look at the second picture of it folded up and it is clear that it is silver NOT camo. So please, stop posting reviews complaining that this isn't camo "like in the picture."I hope that helps with the camo/no camo confusion.That all being said, this is a great emergency tent. It is lightweight so it is adds nothing to the weight of your pack (or bugout bag.) It is reflective (mylar) so it not only will reflect your own heat back to you but should be easy to find if rescuers are looking for you.But, it is not really a "tent" in the modern sense. This is just a tube of mylar. Sleep on it to stay off the wet ground or sleep in to get out of the rain but be warned that there won't be a lot of room to move around and unless you run the line through it and tie it to a tree you may end up with a condensation problem. What I do is point the foot end towards the wind/weather, then pile up some rocks on it so it is closed off. Then I put my pack in the opening of the downwind side so it is open a little bit and sleep with my head at that end. Yes, there will be condensation at the foot of it by morning but if you set it up right it won't get you or your bag wet. Personally, I'd suggest trying it out during nice weather so you can see how to make it work best for if you are ever caught in bad weather.

First, this is NOT a camping tent. This is an emergency shelter to keep the rain off and trap some warmed air when the you know what hits the fan, or you are caught stranded away from shelter. Search all of the "survivor" sites and blogs, shelter is right at the top of your needs along with water. This tent fits the bill exactly!Second, it is light and compact for easy storage and transport. I keep it in my bug out bag and it is perfect for it. The anchor cord is included so I do not have to waste my packaged cordage.So why 4/5 stars? I would have preferred a little thicker mylar for the base of the tent for better ground protection against poke through by sticks etc. Having said that I intend to use it, in cold weather, in conjunction with the Grizzly Gear 2 person mylar emergency blanket so that should afford the protection I want.

i won't go into the backcountry without being prepared for the unexpected having learned from experience. of those items i always take and they must be small and light to carry two are an emergency tent and blanket. my old emergency tent got tore up so i needed a replacement. this one looked good so i gave it a chance.i was a little surprised at how small the whole thing was when 'wrapped up' but that's a good thing. the material used is just the same as any other emergency type blanket etc. i used over the past two decades so i pretty much know what to expect. i am not going to open it in advance as it would defeat the purpose but based on what i have in hand, reviews from others and my past experience with these type items? i am happy with it and would recommend it to anyone heading out on a long hike in the mountains.fyi these are pretty much a use once and done for those unfamiliar with.

This tent is alright if you need a quick, temporary shelter in a calm, moderate climate. Don't expect a miracle if you use it while it is pouring rain or snowing. It's like taking cover beneath a flimsy, large, deflated Mylar balloon. It's not too ideal for survival situations. It wouldn't be warm enough for cooler climates and it would be too warm for hot climates. I got two for my bug out bags because of the small, lightweight, compact size. Using a real tent, tarp or constructing a shelter would obviously be the better option, but this is okay if you have limited time, are on the go, and the weather is calm.

Does what it's supposed to,I just hope I never need it. But it does give me peace of mind knowing that it's here

I bought these for some outside cats to give them shelter and warmth on the porch. I actually cut them and sit at them over a table out there. That way I could put a heater on the outside, so no fire danger. One of my cats had been severely injured when he disappeared for a week I found him under there and he looked fairly comfortable considering his injuries. It won’t take a lot of abuse, but that and blankets are better than nothing to try to help a creature.
