I used one of these when hiking in the desert when I thought there would be no rain so I didn't bring a tent. A thunderstorm dumped lots of rain on us and the Tube Tent was great and blocked 99% of the rain.It was great because I took it along as it was light and small and so I took it along. It allows rain in at both ends and blows in the wind, but it is far better than nothing. If you go on a long day hike and won't be taking a tent because you don't plan to be gone over night, this could be a life saver. Or if you are a minimalist camper. But it is a terrible permanent tent compared to $50+ real tents.I would suggest keeping with it a couple feet of duct tape rolled into a square (+0.4 oz). The duct tape would give you a lot of flexibility to fix tears, seal an end of the tent, or to help set it up with rocks or vegetation.This is better than just small tarps because you have two walls, ceiling and floor sealed together. You can tie one end together to give you a better shelter as it is over 8' long. But it is thin plastic and will flop in the wind very easily. The rope/twine they give you is very small, but actually will hold up for a night or so with good knots.Bottom line: This tube tent is cheap and light, and if that convinces you to carry it on long hikes when you don't expect to spend the night or take a tent, then it can be a life saver if you end up having to spend the night. But it is not a good tent, just a light plastic tube and a light plastic twine, that you wouldn't want to use outside of good weather or an emergency.

Let's not complicate things. This is a thin orange plastic tube. It's kind of like a long plastic garbage bag but with both ends open. It is small, light, cheap, and inexpensive and is meant only for emergencies. Don't take this along thinking it will take the place of your normal tent. You get what you pay for but if you don't mind a terrible night's sleep this will protect you from the rain (but not the cold.)Unless you are a heavy sleeper this should only be used in the most dire emergencies. You will never get it to work with the string like in the picture. The wind will bat it around and make lots of noise and whenever you move around in it you will risk tearing it. If used properly it will protect you from the weather but won't retain heat and unless you know what you are doing will retain condensation from your breath. (I find that tucking under the bottom, placing rocks to hold it in place, then sliding down as far as possible and sleeping with my backpack next to me to hold the head end open a bit is the best way to go. This will allow your breath to escape so condensation won't be too bad. But this is not an easy thing to do especially if you are trying to set it up/use it during a storm.)Throw this in your day pack, your first aid kit, etc., but if you ever have to use it expect to have a near sleepless night, but it should keep you dry.

I bought this because it was cheap and is intended strictly for use as an emergency "bug out bag" evac tent. As such, given not much wind or storm, it'll do well enough to keep the rain off. It's made of thin material. Contrary to some posts it's not "garbage bag" thickness; maybe double that. It contains 25' of cord, which is enough to attach it between two thin trees. There are no tent stakes nor grommets with which to tack it down, so unless the weather is warm and perfect-- in my opinion one would do just as well to duct-tape one end of it shut and just crawl inside it, using something to prop up the opening for air. That would keep off the rain better than a double-open plastic tube weighted down at the corners by supposed rocks you can hopefully find nearby.Since purchase I've found far better concepts if one is willing to spend $25-$30. There are good dome tents available that weigh 5 lbs and offer much more protection from the elements (which is what I finally decided on. My sister, also putting together an evac bag, made the same decision).As it stands, minimally useful emergency gear, which is exactly what it's intended for. If you're putting together a "bare minimal" bugout back in backpack form, this is a decent decision. Otherwise if you're planning the "rolling duffle bag" type of evac kit, I recommend something far more durable and protective for a SURVIVAL environment.

Got this for my bug out bag. it's light and compact. It's kinda like an orange trash bag with two giant holes at each end. Not exactly high quality. I think i'm gonna replace it with a hammock and poncho combination.

I knew going into the purchase that it was orange, but don't care for the orange and the cord that it comes with doesn't look or feel like the sturdiest (we traded it out for 550 cord), but for the price, it's a really good emergency tent. Material feels durable and it's easy to setup.

What I think happened here is trash bag factory accidentally produced a bunch of extra large orange trash bags, didn't know what to do with them, and decided to rip off a bunch of unsuspecting customers by selling this thin plastic monstrosity as a tent by including a small, weak piece of nylon rope with it. Seriously I could have bought a whole roll of trash bags for 4 bucks. And those trash bags would have at least been black, helping me camouflage myself, embarrassed that I can't afford a real tent, or at least something that's practical. There's no holes in the plastic to use with the string, there's no evidence whatsoever that this product could even be used for any efficient camping method. The plastic is so thin I'm not even going to try to put over anything to use as a rain guard. You get what you pay for I suppose.. but why would someone order a big bottomless orange trash bag off the internet?
