"The tent took a while to get used to, but I now can put it up very quickly."
"Rain resistant,, tough to beat for lightweight adventure."
"Roomy, easy setup, simple design, effective and lightweight especially considering the size!"
"This was a Christmas present for my daughter who wore out my Mountain Hardwear tent (bought by me in 1994). Very roomy and the roof height allowed even my 6'3" frame to have a lot of space in all areas of the tent."
"With the openness of the tent, it really suits 3 of New Zealand's seasons and even maybe winter in lower and warmer areas."
"Great bag design makes setting up and breaking down easier and faster."
"Plenty of room for 2 but for one you have room for all your gear inside."
The shelter is compact and lightweight, making it easy to carry with you on any camping, hiking, hunting, boating, backpacking or survival adventures, and is large enough (8’ X 5’) to accommodate two adults. For the ultimate survival bundle, pair the Survival Shack with our Survival Watch, Paracord Bracelet, Grenade Emergency Keychain, and/or Survival Spark. SETS UP IN MINUTES: Separate the rope & shelter, run rope through both ends & tie to a sturdy object.

Here are the questions I would have wanted a reviewer to answer for me before pulling the trigger on the purchase... *What is different about this than if I were to just use a reflective emergency blanket and my own rope or paracord? My husband and I and our little girl could fit just fine if we tied the rope to something a little lower to the ground. Overall, I actually really liked this product and would recommend it for an emergency kit, although I am giving it 4 stars mainly because there is no way to tack it to the ground unless you're in it or you get creative and do a make shift stake system."
"Without directions, I opened the mylar material and figured to thread the string through the middle since it is a large circle of fabric. It was a rather windy day, so I closed the ends around me (leaving a breathing hole) and lay down. The material was close next to me instead of suspended away from my body, as the product images show, which warmed me up very quickly. I would have liked it to have an air mattress and a real blanket, but that would defeat the idea of it being an emergency item that is painless to carry in your backpack. I received this survival tent in exchange for a real and honest review."
"I haven't had a chance to use this item since it is going into an emergency survival bag."
"Will be nice to have when and if needed."
"Nice and light weight .. Haven't had to use it yet and hopefully won't have to."
"I won't try this until it's an emergency but it looks good to have available."
"Just as I expected."
"good stuff i really liked it, i would buy it again."

"I purchased the floor saver with this tent and posted a review on that ALPS Mountaineering Lynx 1 Person Tent Floor Saver ."
"It has three mesh stash pockets inside the tent, one is suspended above the head area and removable as a gear loft. The poles are made of sturdy aluminum with a nice color to them, and the tent is very fast and easy to set up and take down. You can just go to the local fabric store and buy coated ripstop nylon by the yard and make your own footprint for a more reasonable price. All in all, this is a great tent for the money, good design and plenty of room for one person to sleep comfortably in and have all of their gear safely stored and protected within the unit."
"At the time, I was planning a 2-night backpacking trip and needed a tent ASAP. I did a minor amount of research on 1-person backpacking tents and got spooked by prices and negative reviews. Despite a few unnerving reviews about this tent having issues, the price point got me. I'm 6' and I weight about 215 and my head and feet didn't touch either wall. I forgot my footprint the first time I took it out and was a bit concerned the ground would damage the base of my tent. Use the money you saved to buy a better sleeping bag or air core, because that's where the comfort is at night. Not that it matters a whole lot, as it was a bit less than a pound heavier."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Great tent. There are pros and cons... Pros: Carry bag - the tent comes neatly packed in a carry bag, with tent, poles, rain fly, ground stakes, door mat, and instructions. Materials - the tent material seems to be of good quality, and should hold up well when taken care of. Screens - the tent has large screen panels on the "ceiling", which makes for a great view when the rain fly is not on. I will put in one mattress, and leave the other half of the tent for my kids Pack n' Play, and gear. I also purchased some Coleman Seam Sealer, and sealed all the seams inside the tent, and the rain fly. Some of the seams are taped, but it's just good practice to spend the time to do this, no matter what brand/cost/etc tent you have."
"This was my very first time setting up a tent and camping out with 2 kids and 2 dogs in tow, and it took me just 15 minutes to set up the tent. Based on forum advice I got some tent pegs that were easy to drive into the ground so I did not use the ones that come with the tent, so I had a very easy time setting it up. The tent is very well ventilated so it got cold and airy in the tent in the night. The white walls of the tent reflect light well and there are 2 pockets on the side where you can put a flashlight facing upward to illuminate the whole tent. I put the pegs, poles and my extra tarp inside and will find another bag for the tent itself. Now that I've learned that's it's not too hard to set up a tent, I plan to go camping more often with this Coleman Sundome tent. Update 7/9/2015 -. The 4 person tent held up well and has been put up and taken down about 5-6 times already. I also purchased the Coleman 3 person tent, it is about 7 ft by 7 ft inside and just about fits an Intex Queen size air mattress. On a recent camping trip the 3 person tent worked for 2 teenagers and a dog inside the tent. We were both warm and dry in our 4 person and 3 person tent and it was kind of fun to hear the rain beat hard against the tent."
"The ventilation is great with the upper walls screened. Even with the rain cover on you still get great ventilation through large screened openings on the front and back walls of tent. Without the rain guard installed, the upper walls of this tent are screened so you can see the sky and stars."
"Nice tent."
