Wow, great tip. Thanks!!!

An absolute no brainer to use a tarp, I do all the time, the weather here in the UK is unpredictable, its nice to sleep without the worry that my cot is not going to turn into a swimming pool..Nice video ....

Hi Tin Cup - Until 20 minutes ago, I had never hear of a cot tent. You explained it and demonstrated it very well. I just subscribed. Thanks for the video.

You need to buy an Australian swag, then season canvas buy getting it soaking wet and then set it up in the sun to dry and then it will be waterproof and they will fit the cot as well, we Australian's have some very good products.

I have the oztent RS1 and it's great, only problem is that it's huge

Thank you. This looks very simple and easy to use as well as being compact. My plan is to go on a long tricycle trip, towing a trailer with camping gear and a guitar. Your ideas could be very useful.

Very nice. It's a pity that the skirt of the tent did not fit under the cot edges or should/could it have done?

There’s only one issue with the tarp, for me. I always bring my dog and some places insist she’s tied up. It’s a pain with a lot of guy ropes.

I like idea of these even the bigger ones ok because they can go on airplane. I can travel to be with family and not need much else.

I hadn't seen a cot tent before but looks like a great setup. I only see one possible issue:. where are your two cohorts going to sleep? I assume they usually sleep with Dad? I KNOW you wouldn't leave them out in the rain! 🙃

Teton sells a double. Works great!

it is a hell of an effort puttin' all that into place.... a decent tent however, would be less of a hassle, I reckon... let alone, if the wind was picking up... the cot-tent would be carried away, along with the tarp....

I need to post the footage of a big rain/wind blast that came through. It actually survived because of how I ended up angling the tarp upon final install.

Did you check to see if the bottom of the tent fits over the cot?

I think I did, but will check when I get it out again.

What? No mosquito netting? Dealbreaker! Maybe you can get away with that in Western Montana, but not where I live! Give me my faithful old Kamp-Rite TentCot any day!

I can appreciate that aspect. Not very many mosquitoes here most of the time. And bugs? Those are midnight snacks for me. 😆

They are worthless I got one

Its bullshit that outsunny sells a cot tent that leaks and forces you to buy and set up a tarp to set up over it. Why bother just buy one that doesn't leak.

That's a terrible design for a tent.

I have to agree, but it I went for it because of it's compact size, weight and the large opening when comparing to other cot tents at the time. Since then, another brand came out with something comparable yet better in respect to weatherproof.

@@TinCupChef I used a roof top tent for years and considered the Kamp-Rite, but now I'm looking at the Australian swag tents. I just wish they had a cot base.
