Army Pup Tent.wmv

My new to me Army Pup Tent from Biffs Military Surplus.

By the way I am not sick despite the coughing in this video. It is due to a bug that I inhailed prior to making the video and it was stuck in my throat. It has been messing with me all night...

how does it hold up in very windy conditions? it seems like since it only had to poles with one good gust of wind it would break.

@MegaHammer97 these are designed to withstand military activity. they are very strong. i would trust them in highwinds up to around 50mph+. if the pole happened to break you can easily replace with a tree limb. thanks for watching.

I see a lot of remarks about how heavy these are, just how much do they weigh?

[FixedByDoc]

@CrittersCanoeing about 5-6 lbs per shelter half. plus a lb for 5 stakes and it takes two halves and ten stakes for a full tent setup or one half and 5 for a lean-to style. not something you want to backpack if worried about weight. my weights are estamations but close i think.

@Theenemy38 its heavey but very useful.

@FixedByDoc cool man I think I'm gonna try to get this setup.

[FixedByDoc]

@Theenemy38 actually i tried after this video and it turns out it works perfectly. i think this may be what i had heard of and that there isnt an actual seperate peice who knows but i know own three halves cause it works well. thanks for the idea though.

[Theenemy38]

@FixedByDoc about the floor you said you heard that their was a canvas bottom for it have you tried another half shelter?  I'm not sure if it will work but its just a thought.
