Instant tent

The tent in action

It took me a bit of time to figure out how to set up the instant tent i bought last year from the surplus store which is now closed.
As part of my Covid 19 Second Layoff, I plan on doing some fieldcraft and camping in my backyard.
So after getting a good nights sleep, I have begun to try once again to figure out how to set the tent up.

The trick is to know how to clip the inner tent to the outer shell.

I was able to set the tent up and tried to sleep in the shelter.

ta-da!

2 issues came up.
1. the requirement of a sleeping mat which fits the tent.
2. a suitable bug spray to keep little critters from biting me.

A secondary use I can find for this shelter will be to use as a hunting blind in the fall, however, i will need to camoflauge the tent.

The tent once clipped together is great. it is very waterproof, and if you have pegged down with strong peg (I have spikes as back up) however, I may also invest in a tarp to act as a ground sheet to give some more protection.
As I snore badly, I will see about investing in a larger 3 person tent for the rest of the family.
