This is a quick video of me setting up and tearing down my new Coleman 6-Person Instant Tent in less than 4 minutes. This includes taking it out and putting it back into the bag!

Well, I finally had the time to get this tent finished. The total weight ended up being 19.3 ounces… not quite the sub 1 pounder that I was hoping for, but not too bad either way. Although I already had a backpacking tent that I was content with, I wanted something more suited for my solo ultra lightweight backpacking trips. I think this new piece of gear will fit the bill perfectly. I chose a simple and basic A-frame design (reminiscent of those old Boy Scout days hehe) partly for ease of construction and also to allow for the independent use of the rainfly as it’s own shelter. For those quick overnighters in good weather, the little 5×7 cover functions perfectly as a light backpacking tarp (and weighs about 4 ounces). For bug protection without the threat of rain, the mesh tent can be used alone and weighs in at 14.2 ounces. Not a bad little system if I say so. This entire setup was made from scratch with the majority of the materials coming from a tent a was given that was beyond repair. I did however research the cost of purchasing all of the materials new and was surprised to find how inexpensive it was. For this reason, as well as how simple this design was to make, I decided to throw in an instructional video combined with a “how to” article on my blog for anyone wanting to build a similar tent. It really wasn’t too hard or time consuming at all (and if I can do it, then anyone can!). As soon as I get these finished I will include the links below. You’ll have to

See Description For Specs. This is the absolute ultimate Backpacking, Motorcycle, Car Camping Tent. 5.4 pounds without the extras. Made for the military by Eureka! The ORC version is just not Eureka! But take you chances. The Dual Vestibule version is not as easy to get in and out of and there is plenty of room for a guy and a girl and all of your equipment so its just not needed and the extra weight is not needed. This is a much better option than the 2 person tent because it is half the weight with more useable vestibule space with plenty of room to change clothes and store all your gear. Go with this over the 2 man in my opinion. If you have to sleep 2 adult males you could in a pinch. I have seen some videos up grading the backcountry 1 tents with this fly… WHY??? The backcountry 1 is 150 to 180 and the 50 for the upgrade. With only one door. Just find one of these. 5.4 pounds when you take out the things you don’t need! 8ft x 3.5ft vestibule will hold 2 ALICE or MOLLE Packs and shoes just under 3ft High Huge Entry & Exit Door High Quality Eureka Ground Sheet Easton Aluminum Stakes & Poles (highest Quality Ive Seen) Woodland Camo Block Out Finish Superior Wind & Rain Proofing Repair Kit Need I Say More!!!!
