Helpful Amazon Reviews
"I was a bit skeptical after reading on the mixed reviews. I figured even if I got only one use for what I needed it for was worth it so I purchased it and within a couple days was at my doorstep. I immediately put it together and like the other reviews found the last crossbar was a bit difficult to lock into place, but seriously nothing a little muscle can't handle. The quality of the material as well as the carrying case I found to be very durable. Instructions can be found stitched on the inside flap of the carrying case, very handy. So worth my investment, glad I took the chance on it."
"We bought two of these cots for camping because we were tired of worrying about our air mattress leaking while camping. Believe me, it happens. I was very pleased at how well made they are. The canvas is heavy duty and felt quite durable. I didn't feel like it was going to rip or let go. The set up process is pretty easy but you may need an extra set of hands when attaching the second end of the canvas. Ours were very tight on our first set up but after the first use it was a little easier. My husband and I both found these cots to be very comfortable to sleep on and had no problem turning over from side to side. One drawback. The canvas carry bags are not as durable as the cot canvas and tear easily. Both of our came with holes in them. This is not due to Amazon packaging as I have noticed this in every store I looked at these in.
All in all, a great purchase and I would recommend to a friend."

Bro.. you're a genius figuring out how to put that last piece in! THANK YOU.

[@phild8095]

I've owned two for 16 years. They have each been used a total of about 80-100 nights and I would continue to use them. Yes, the canvass is real tight when you first put it together, and after a dozen nights on it and setting it up a few times it becomes easier to set up.

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@hkerr-di1yg]

I've had one of these cots for years and next time will be much easier to set up thanks to your video. Wow... Appreciate this so much!!

[@shortybiscuit]

Man - I’ve been struggling with this thing. Thanks! That worked.

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

Yay! Glad to hear it helped!

[@clintalexander6350]

I have one of those cots and it’s very comfortable but here’s the problem with it . #1 assembling it in the stand up position in a smaller 2 or 3 man tent isn’t as easy as you’d think #2 the feet are square and sharp at the corners and tears up the ground sheet in a tent. #3 the carry bag is poorly made and tears at the seam. So I give this cot a 2 out 5 .

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

👍

[@JP-nq5dp]

Could you not assemble it outside the tent and just pack it in ? I was wondering about the feet also .

[@tuefelhunden3391]

Tennis balls on the feet

[@KibatsuMusic]

thanks a bunch!

[@AmenaTM]

Thanks for that tip on snapping in the last piece! That's what I came here for.

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

Happy to help!

[@deltasierra1774]

Very similar to the ones the Army uses. The Army ones are notorious for being difficult to put together with that last bar being super hard to get in.

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

👍

[@Plainsrider53]

Nice job, takes me back to my surplus army cots

[@reeseapril6420]

So glad I found this i was struggling for hours and finally thought abt youtube I didn’t even need to stand it up just sat down pushed with my leg

[@chivone21]

Very nice! Guess what! You just figured it out yourself, the way the army directs those cots to be put together! (Desert Storm Vet first hand exp.)

[@Snailmailtrucker]

@chivone2 *Thanks for Serving OUR Country Brother/Sister !* *FJB !*

[@ginacedeno9411]

I purchased something similar at Costco. Two huge black and blues on my legs due to the corner bars sticking out.

[@mattwernecke2342]

Cots are great!

[@adventurepromo]

I just received one of these as a gift and it was basically impossible to get that last bar on. I tried your method and still had no luck - the cot was bending in the middle due to the pressure and still it wouldn't lock on. I finally used a hammer handle as a lever to force the bar over the peg. Was still very difficult. Hopefully it will stretch out. Was hoping this would be an easy setup for one of my kids but so far it's a grown man maximum effort assembly required.

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

[@reflactor]

Thank you! That last corner is laughably difficult to put on. Your trick of stepping on it is the only non-cursing method.

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

Our pleasure Reflactor!

[@angiesmith3209]

Do a video about taking it down no one is doing that

[@rosevillereaper9230]

Hey bro could you tell me the width of the top and bottom bars? it says the width of the cot is 35in but those bars seem to stick out a bit more.

[@lotabusyday]

Thanks. Looks good.

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

👍

[@aw7579]

You mentioned you're down a little bit when you sit on it, which other cot have you tried that don't sink as much?

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

Everyone we’ve tried has been pretty similar with the amount

[@shade1031]

How hard is it, i want a cot thats decently hard

[@DaRealVonStauffenberg]

It's pretty stiff. Not very "bouncy" not much give under body weight if u understand

[@VicentePerez811]

Lay the cot on its side and the fabric would be looser to get that other bar on. Make sure the fabric is centered in the middle. You don't need to stand it up and step on the bar.

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

[@patricianuckles1689]

I don't go camping but thanks for the info. Very well done.

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

Thanks Patricia! I had a camping channel I wasn't able to keep up with the comments, so I moved some of those videos over here & closed it down. I turned off notifications for subscribers to be notified of these videos, but just wanted to keep them available for anyone searching for info on them.

[@peterrubin643]

what are the bars that extend out, what are they for? Can you hurt yourself?

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

It just the way it's designed.

[@tylerwallace4664]

So you can grab it to snap it in the holes or you’d have nowhere to grab it to do it…

[@FreedomFishing]

Genius!

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

👍

[@reneebarrow4697]

What is the weight limit?

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

Up to 300 lb.

[@skylerisbell7742]

Pull the bar and push your knee into the frame. That's what always works for me!

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

👍

[@Snailmailtrucker]

Where's your video ? *FJB !*

[@stevericci3308]

Good video, people are weak. If it's going to hold 300lb it has to be tight.

[@chipallen7792]

If you camp more than once a year don't do it they don't last

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

👍

[@going_my_own_way]

So they cannot be used daily? I was planning to use them two days in a week for whole year. Is that a problem?

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

@@going_my_own_way You could try, it's just not top quality and will eventually wear out.
