This video literally just saved my camping trip!! Thank you hahaha

just bought one of these... once it's together nice and tight, is it just as easy to take the bar out again when I've finished using it

I can confirm, Do Not Put Your Fin...

Whats the price and give the details. Cash on delivery.

You are A LIFE SAVER

Thanks i was about to burn down mine and call it a day

The moment you stood it up, my eyes bulged out of my head, and I think my liquified brain leaked out of my ears. It's so obvious but never came to myself, or ANY of my camping buddies' minds. Thanks!

SOO AWESOME!! THANK YOU!

Still couldn't do it. Couldn't get the third one in let alone the fourth

To locate the second bar, just turn the bed on its side, fold it in the middle - so the fabric is unband again. Now fix the second bar easily, unfold the bed, put it on its legs, - and fine.

I use a pry bar to pry the tight side into place.

Thanks so much

Awesome!!! I knew it was about the lever arm, but the trick is the lever on a different plane. Well done!!!

I always just assumed the cot was designed as a selection guide so that people who could fit the 2nd bar without breaking something could be earmarked for specialist and/or officer training. Everyone else would be cast to the grunts. I was infantry.... so I never saw one properly assembled.

👍You da man🙏

I always got the material wet then it would stretch. Only practical around home, with time to let it dry. Thanks for the great video!

You.. are.. the best sir.

Thank you! I've just been using mine without the last bar. Lol! Now I can get it right and it'll probably be more comfortable (a lil bit anyway).

This has made my life easier after 11 years. Thank you!

Was in active duty for 6 years, national guard for 3, and was today years old when I learned this.

Seems like a bad design, but simple so less to go wrong is good. This method doesn’t look too difficult. I tried to put one of those together when I was younger just to see how it opened, but I didn’t need it at the time so I gave up. This is a good trick. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Brilliant was struggling trying pry bar and pole for leverage.

Good job - It works!

All those years of high school and finally a practical use of using leverage, lol. I can't understand why they don't have these instructions included with the cot, would make things 1,000x.easier

You sir are a life saver. THANK YOU! 😂😭👏

Thank you. I was doing 2 things wrong, 1 grommet to grommet, you put metal to grommet, and not knowing to use weight to stretch the canvas. Awesome video.

Maaaaaaaan I've bamboozled for years on setting this thing up

I need end bars for mine! This was a fantastic video.

Thanks

Thanks a million! This is a life saver. I've always used a prybar of sorts. I still will if I'm setting up on soggy/muddy ground. This is perfect for dry setups.

Lots of years in the Army, sleeping on Army cots. For the final step to assemble one of these aluminum cots, set the cot on its legs. Put one end of the final stretcher bar onto one cot nipple. Sit on your butt, push the cot with one foot and pull the stretcher bar towards yourself and pop the stretcher bar hole onto the stretcher nipple. Watch your fingers!

Thank you, I was checking how to set one of this bed I had from a former US base in Germany. Now it is ready and working so I can ship it to Ukraine via people rescue association

Best advice

Works great for one thats broken in... not new

I did this, the fabric tore apart.

where can i get one likr this?

Excellent demonstration. Saved for life😁

I accidentally found an even easier way while cleaning the cot. All you have to do is mist the fabric and I'll loosen a lot. Once wet, even my 10 year son can put on the last bar.

That’s why Marines sleep on the ground.

I were to buy one of these what should i look out for?

OMG, thx for that trick man! You saved my night sleep!

Thank you I just bought two of these and there tuff

they literally just threw these at us and said go to bed.

Me in the field “how the hell does this thing go together?”

Terrible camera view...

DAMN! I was in the Army for 4 years and none of us ever knew how to get that last bar in. Not even the older Joe's who has been in for a decade knew how to do it. We all just laid that last bar on top and called it a day. This looks so damn easy to do and none of us ever thought to use leverage from the actual cot. My life is literally made complete now.

What is the weight limit for this cot?

Thank I almost had given up hope

what brand does the military use?
