12 best survival tents
Alright, let's dive into the world of survival tents. Emergency blankets are a lightweight and compact option, reflecting and retaining body heat to keep you warm. They're not exactly tents, but they can be a crucial part of your survival gear.
Now, for more traditional survival tents, consider ones made of durable materials like ripstop nylon. Look for features like waterproofing, good ventilation, and easy setup.Some survival tents are designed to be lightweight and packable, making them ideal for camping and hiking.
In emergency situations, quick assembly is key. Pop-up tents or those with color-coded poles can be a real time-saver. Also, check for a sturdy rainfly to keep you dry during unexpected downpours.
For camping and hiking, weight is a crucial factor. Look for lightweight options that won't weigh you down on the trail. Ventilation is important too, especially in warmer weather. No one wants to wake up in a sauna.
In the realm of outdoor recreation, your tent should be adaptable to different environments. Some tents are designed specifically for certain climates, so choose one that suits your typical adventure locations.
When it comes to sports and outdoors, your tent should withstand the elements. Wind resistance, waterproofing, and durability are key considerations. And of course, always practice setting up your tent before you actually need it. Nobody wants to fumble with tent poles when the weather turns sour.
Happy camping!

User questions & answers
Question: | Dose this come in a green shade |
Answer: | The S.O.L version does I'm pretty sure |
Question: | Is it recyclable |
Answer: | No, it is mylar with a reflective coating. The mylar alone--a plastic--might be recyclable depending on your area, but the reflective surface renders it non-recyclable. Better to reuse or repurpose it if no longer functional, e.g., cut a section to size as a ground tarp, waterproof liner for a backpack, etc. |
Question: | What (easy) knot would be appropriate for tying this to a tree |
Answer: | A two half hitch knot on one end that keeps it secure to one tree. The other side should be a taut line hitch knot, as it is adjustable and can pull the slack "taut". Most rope/lines will stretch a little bit after installation and the tent will sag. The taut line will allow you to address that and easily snug it up again. |
Question: | How does it hold the heat in if both ends are open |
Answer: | It doesn't hold heat, it reflects it. It prevents heat from being lost to wind, and more importantly water (rain, sleet, snow). It wil not hold heat, it will slow down heat loss by using the heat you produce and reflecting it back on you. It is meant to keep you from becoming hypothermic if stuck outdoors overnight. You can produce your own heat (eat and digest food, make a fire, boil water), but if your day hike goes bad and you are stuck out overnight, this is an emergency shelter. Set it up in a sheltered area to prevent wind from blowing through the ends. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Does it have loops so I could use 4 pegs instead of rocks to pin it down |
Answer: | No, the tent does not include loops for stakes. Our tents are designed to be used in survival situations only, not to replace your camping tent. If you prefer to use pegs instead of rocks or gear to pin down the corners, you can create loops by inserting the stake through the mylar and then reinforcing the area with tape. However, this may compromise the strength of the mylar, so it is not recommended. |
Question: | how small is the tent when folded up |
Answer: | It will fit in your hand . . . but it is really for bad times. It is a tube tent, meaning that neither end is sealed, but is open, and there are no poles to support it. You'll need 2 trees or some other means to support the corded roof line. Survival probably, but not for pleasure. |
Question: | Is this open on both ends or just one (like a bivy |
Answer: | It is open on both ends. Since the tent is 8 feet long, there is enough mylar material that you can use the included paracord to tie one end shut and use as a large 2-person emergency bivy. This is how we suggest using the shelter when there are no trees or suitable objects to tie up the paracord for use as a tent. |
Question: | Does this tent have a floor or do I need to pack a drop cloth with it |
Answer: | Yes - It is a full "tube" tent. No drop cloth needed. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Does the tent have “windows”/“doors” at both ends of the tent for better air circulation |
Answer: | Hi, Top-back vents are used instead of Bottom-back vents as of February 2018. Ideally, you want top-back vents to release the moisture exhaled from your lungs as you sleep (so you don't wake up wet) and to keep snakes from slithering into your tent while you sleep (as well as other creepy crawlies). Bottom-back vents are easy to cover up by accident when using a sleeping pad/sleeping bag. Sincerely, Jacob SurvivalGeek https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfRsUPToBXp4ZIre__dJg4A (Green Smiley Face Logo On YouTube) |
Question: | Does this seal up so snakes can’t get in |
Answer: | Yes complete zip. Front exterior door does not seal at bottom. |
Question: | What does it mean when you say "does well in rain or snow"? Is it waterproof |
Answer: | Hi, It is a tarpless tent generally with a rain resistant fabric or a waterproof coating over the fabric. To increase your comfort levels in unexpected rainstorms, consider purchasing the 12-foot tarp below (and coating the inside and outside with at least two layers of Scotchguard Waterproofing Spray with a P95 mask and allowing at least 12 - 24 hours dry time in between coats of Scotchguard): Kelty Noah's Tarp 12 - 2013 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009R9FUI2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_YFIyDbR35EJ3D I've used the 12-foot tarp above, successfully, with many tents and hammocks with no issues. I'm a big guy: 265 lbs and 6'1" tall. It's important to have a tarp you can rely on in trenchal downpours (heavy thunderstorms). Just try to have Gap of at least a few inches between the bottom of the tarp of the top of your tent/hammock when using. It's an old law I've followed to prevent water transfer, possible standing water weight on the gear below the tarp and to provide peace of mind. Hope this helps others out! 😀 Sincerely, Jacob SurvivalGeek https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfRsUPToBXp4ZIre__dJg4A (Green Smiley Face Logo On YouTube) |
Question: | does the Pole need to be inserted in the ground |
Answer: | No. You use your own trekking poles to set up this tent. It is intended to be set up with the handle on the ground and the metal tip pointed up. Insert the metal tip into the holder at the top of the ridge line, designed to hold the metal trekking pole tip. You can also set this tent up tied between two trees or using two sticks off the ground, or You could also set it up with the trekking pole tip down and insert the guy-line through the handle straps. So you do not need to insert the poles into the ground. The tent is secured by the triangle formation and the guy-lines so it holds up well in the wind or weather, even though the pole is not inserted into the ground. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Are there grommets in the corners for the stakesto go through or would one puncture the material with the stake |
Answer: | As long as there are no rips If you ever needed it you probably would not hesitate to buy a new one. |
Question: | What is the dimensions of the carry bag |
Answer: | It is not posted anywhere on the packaging or on the tent itself that I can see. I would say that it is about the same thickness as a mylar balloon is. I hope this will help. |
Question: | Does it close |
Answer: | Paracord |
Question: | How long is it when open, head to toe |
Answer: | No, the tent does not include loops for stakes. Our tents are designed to be used in survival situations only, not to replace your camping tent. If you prefer to use pegs instead of rocks or gear to pin down the corners, you can create loops by inserting the stake through the mylar and then reinforcing the area with tape. However, this may compromise the strength of the mylar, so it is not recommended. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Is this any different than the space blanket or other survival blanket |
Answer: | More durable than previous rescue blankets. |
Question: | If this is a sleeping bag, how can it be used as a "Poncho" or in the "Tent" configuration in the picture |
Answer: | This is a full size sleeping bag. It is like emergency blankets that fold up, but with a waterproof coating on the outside (orange). You can use it alone or you can slip your sleeping bag into it because it is resistant to water. It folds up into the small bag which fits in your hand. I guess you could use it like a poncho or tent by unsealing the seam. |
Question: | Would this prevent air rescue with heat-seeking cameras from detecting you |
Answer: | No. Heat will still escape from the head of the bag. Also, it is not a perfect insulator. A FLIR will still pick it up against a "cold by contrast " background. |
Question: | I always freeze camping,Has anyone used it for extra warmth |
Answer: | Yes, I have used the TWFRIC emergency Sleeping bag for that purpose, just in keep mind the emergency bag will keep in the moisture from your body as well as the heat, anything you have in the bag with you will be wet in the morning. Wrap your self in a blanket before closing the bag or buy a wormer rated sleeping bag you can get them on amazon for 70 or less. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Does this seal completely |
Answer: | no back door no front door wraps around great I use as cover for my gas bike |
Question: | Why would anybody want emergency protection with both ends wide open to driving rain, snow, wind and or bugs |
Answer: | Because it's an emergency shelter, not a tent. It's to be carried on a day hike, as protection against hypothermia if forced to overnight. You'd look to set it up out of the wind, in someplace wooded if possible. You could use a pack as a wind block or semi-seal (with duct tape, spruce or pine branches, etc.) the end that gets the prevailing wind. If you want more serious protection, invest in a bivy sack by Outdoor Research or Black Diamond. |
Question: | Is this a flat 8'x5' sheet? i am looking for a blanket |
Answer: | No. It's a tube tent that comes with a "rope"/ridge line to run under the top so it will keep its shape. It's fairly bulky, but then it's a two-person tent. I think extra Mylar blankets would be advisable. |
Question: | Is this breathable; will I wake soaked in my sweat or encased in ice |
Answer: | This is just like a potato chip bag. So no it is not breathable. And since it has a reflective surface, it will reflect your body heat back to you. Whether or not you wake up soaked in sweat depends upon how tight you seal the ends, and the outside conditions. It is just as the name says, an Emergency Survival Shack. I purchased this for an emergency shelter to keep in my go bag, or in my daily back pack. (one in each). I hope I never need to use it but if I do it will be better than having nothing at all. If you want a breathable tent, buy one made of nylon. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Will the sleeping comfortably house a person who is |
Answer: | It wouldn’t. This is for emergencies, where the last thing your worries about it bugs, mosquitoes, and ticks. |
Question: | what is in the package |
Answer: | The answer is no. You can google that and 12 microns = less than .5 of a mil. This is not a substantial shelter. Nothing like a tent you would put together. It is less than a heavy trash bag, but very light and fits in a pocketof a small day pack. Like it says emergency not to stay for a week in. I would not recommend this for a camping shelter either, more of a disposable one use item. Take in your backpack for a day hike just in case or put in your earthquake emergency kit, that is what I bought it for. |
Question: | Can you use this sleeping bag multiple times or just once |
Answer: | This product is a camping type, therefore it helps to cover or remember these climates, depending on the season the utility changes, since for summer it is not the same personal clothing. So if for any season it is advisable, it is not a house, it is a camping tent, it "helps" to protect against these storms, and because of its size it is perfect to carry in small bags. Without another particular and if you need another concern, do not hesitate to communicate. Thanks |
Question: | Is everything in one pouch or do you have to carry 3 different pouches - one for the tent, one for the sleeping bag and one for the pad |
Answer: | No, It's like a tube tent |
