Tent-Cot?

[HelloPossum]

I'll be camping alone next year and don't want to set up my big tent by myself. I've been thinking of getting Kamp-Rite's tent cot. Have any of you used it? Pros? Cons?

I have one of these when I want an easy room with a view on those car camping trips...

Yes, that's the one I'm looking at. Is it really easy to set up?

Have you thought about using a Hammock?

I have the tent cot for single camping also, it is easy to set up.

I second the suggestion of a hammock. I do not like most cots when compared to a hammock.

Doesn't cold air come up from underneath? Looks like you would need some good insulation under you.

That's what close cell foam pads are for or Thermarest or equivalent pads.
Head on over to the Hammock forums and you will learn much about Hammocking.

I sleep on my sides so I don't think a hammock would do, I do sleep good in the tent cot.

GPER I have a tent cot I use on some car camping trips first night out. Very roomy and comfortable.
