While I believe this tent to be good for emergency situations, it's important to remember what it is. It's basically a triangular tube on the ground so remember to back it up to a tree or some other natural structure when using so the wind doesn't blow through it. No really meant for 2 people unless you are talking about 2 small people. Easy to store, inexpensive and lightweight, however, not the best quality, but you get what you pay for. Functionally speaking I think that it would be better to spend a little more and get a better-quality tent for that unforeseen emergency. Upon testing, I would pass on this one. C- rating

These are ok. I would definitely not describe the mylar as “extra thick.” One of mine already had holes in it when I opened the package—it looks like someone scraped it with a fingernail putting it in the bag. I tried to tear a corner with my bare hands, and it required minimal force to do so. Clearly, the plastic is not terribly durable. However, one of the benefits of this type of plastic layer bonded to mylar is that it doesn’t shred after a puncture—the material is a little stretchy. Also on the plus side, these don’t take up much space, and because one side is reflective, they can double as emergency warming blankets. And the ropes are high quality—they even melted the ends to make sure they don’t unravel. I would give these four stars if they were cheaper. For this price, though, I expected more.

You never know when things might go a little too sideways, and you have to get off the grid quickly. These are a super handy, small packing, lightweight, but totally helpful accessory to have in your go bag.Full disclosure, I didn't unpack and test them. I'm going to keep them bundled up as they are and throw them straight in my emergency kit. I'd rather have them than nothing, even if they aren't ideal.

This is great for my emergency kit. Hopefully I will never need it, but it will be very useful if you do need it! It's lightweight and comes in a small drawstring bag with a thin cord. I tried it out in my living room and was able to successfully fold it back up and pack it back in the bag. There were no tears or damage to it in the process.

The plastic for an emergency pocketable tent has to be very thin, and cannot be expected to be as sturdy as a heavier tent. Even so, this plastic is far more fragile than it could be - it stretches & punctures way too easily and likely could not stand up to even moderate winds. I have emergency reflective foil plastic blankets that whose plastic is just as thin as these tents, but which are much harder to stretch or puncture. An emergency tent made of the same material used in the foil blankets would be much sturdier, and weigh no more than these tents, so look elsewhere.

There are smaller, single person tents which are cheaper and smaller to carry, but I wanted to put one of these in my bug out bag because it is pretty small but provides enough space for 2 people and maybe some gear.It is dead easy to set up since it's just a long tube, it comes already joined into a tube at the black taped joint. You just roll it out, put the paracord through it and tie it to a tree at both ends at a height which allows you to spread out the corners using some rocks (make sure they don't have sharp corners) or pieces of wood (no pokey bits sticking out) and crawl inside. You should try to set it up on top of some grass or other soft material otherwise you will feel every single pebble under it, plus the grass provides a little insulation.Please be aware that this is an emergency shelter, an not intended for normal day to day use. It is less easy to tear than the normal mylar tents/blankets due to its increased thickness (meh) and the fact that it is bonded to a sheet of green or orange plastic, not just the bare mylar. You will be more likely to stay alive in this shelter, as you will be out of the elements, but you should not expect to be comfortable, that's not its purpose.The paracord included is a generous length and seems of good quality, and is very reflective when you shine a light on it. I would recommend improving it a little bit using thinner/lighter cordage such as dyneema 1.6 or even bank line. You can put more cordage in the little bag then. Also I think you should use a bit of cord and some duct tape to add corner tie outs so you can take out at the corners with sticks. Don't even think about closing off one end to increase warmth, it is so waterproof that it will gather a lot of condensation and much more if you close it up. You will wake up soaking wet.With one of these and a couple of mylar sleeping bags you can improve your chances for survival. Be sure to add something to make a fire with and some water bottles, just as important.

These are going in my BUG OUT bag. They are exactly what I needed. I like how small and light weight they are and how protective they are. Great great great for what I need.
