A Cot Tent that LEAKS, no problem!!

[@jackwaau]

I stand my cot on its end and put my foot on the bar and tilt the cot. to get the last hole. I saw it done on a youtube video.Easy as and no issues.

[@TinCupChef]

Wow, great tip. Thanks!!!

Hi Tin Cup - Until 20 minutes ago, I had never hear of a cot tent. You explained it and demonstrated it very well. I just subscribed. Thanks for the video.

[@TinCupChef]

Thank you for subscribing!

Amazing video, this looks easy enough to travel with as I'm flying from California to Arkensas next year and wanted something simple and light to travel with.

[@glennfryer1539]

An absolute no brainer to use a tarp, I do all the time, the weather here in the UK is unpredictable, its nice to sleep without the worry that my cot is not going to turn into a swimming pool..Nice video ....

[@TinCupChef]

Thanks Glenn!

[@lasentinal]

Thank you. This looks very simple and easy to use as well as being compact. My plan is to go on a long tricycle trip, towing a trailer with camping gear and a guitar. Your ideas could be very useful.

[@TinCupChef]

Thanks for feedback. Hope you have fun on your trip!! Curious, are you a Subscriber of mine already?

[@rhrh100]

I’m going to be camping with a cot tent and a tarp. This was helpful. Thanks

[@TinCupChef]

@@rhrh100 thank you for commenting!!

You need to buy an Australian swag, then season canvas buy getting it soaking wet and then set it up in the sun to dry and then it will be waterproof and they will fit the cot as well, we Australian's have some very good products.

I have the oztent RS1 and it's great, only problem is that it's huge

[@robertastewart-fite1337]

That’s a really nice set-up ya have there!

[@TinCupChef]

Thanks Roberta!

[@Krispzz]

Just found this channel great work great videos keep it up

[@TinCupChef]

@Krispzz thank you! More coming in summer 2025.

[@Krispzz]

@@TinCupCheflooking forward to watching the videos. Have u made the car into a camper yet ?

[@TinCupChef]

@Krispzz Just fixing truck mechanical up to now. Camper build next summer with videos of everything as it goes. Collecting parts and pieces through winter. It will be a four seasons off-road micro camper. . . With diesel heater!!! 😀

[@Krispzz]

@ amazing gonna be a great journey building this truck and doing the KZbin videos.

[@geeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzz]

Very nice. It's a pity that the skirt of the tent did not fit under the cot edges or should/could it have done?

[@TinCupChef]

I'll have to check that out. Thanks!

[@John-ip8hs]

Hi sir, I hope to do some camping this year and I think this could be the set up for me, can you please tell me the overall weight of the cot and the tarp, thanks for any and all information you can supply... cheers

[@susandietsche1619]

I hadn't seen a cot tent before but looks like a great setup. I only see one possible issue:. where are your two cohorts going to sleep? I assume they usually sleep with Dad? I KNOW you wouldn't leave them out in the rain! 🙃

[@TinCupChef]

Actually all 3 of us cab cozy up in it!

[@AlergicToSnow]

Teton sells a double. Works great!

[@camouflage962]

it is a hell of an effort puttin' all that into place.... a decent tent however, would be less of a hassle, I reckon... let alone, if the wind was picking up... the cot-tent would be carried away, along with the tarp....

[@TinCupChef]

I need to post the footage of a big rain/wind blast that came through. It actually survived because of how I ended up angling the tarp upon final install.

[@vegasandrean7457]

Is this brand of cot tent from Fosco? Thanks for the video

[@TinCupChef]

@@vegasandrean7457 got this from Amazon.

[@AlergicToSnow]

There’s only one issue with the tarp, for me. I always bring my dog and some places insist she’s tied up. It’s a pain with a lot of guy ropes.

[@LampWaters]

I like idea of these even the bigger ones ok because they can go on airplane. I can travel to be with family and not need much else.

[@Hockeydad90]

Did you check to see if the bottom of the tent fits over the cot?

[@TinCupChef]

I think I did, but will check when I get it out again.

[@IMBrute-ir7gz]

What? No mosquito netting? Dealbreaker! Maybe you can get away with that in Western Montana, but not where I live! Give me my faithful old Kamp-Rite TentCot any day!

[@TinCupChef]

I can appreciate that aspect. Not very many mosquitoes here most of the time. And bugs? Those are midnight snacks for me. 😆

[@SandyWalsh]

That's a terrible design for a tent.

[@TinCupChef]

I have to agree, but it I went for it because of it's compact size, weight and the large opening when comparing to other cot tents at the time. Since then, another brand came out with something comparable yet better in respect to weatherproof.

[@SandyWalsh]

@@TinCupChef I used a roof top tent for years and considered the Kamp-Rite, but now I'm looking at the Australian swag tents. I just wish they had a cot base.

[@joehempel4083]

They are worthless I got one
