Surplus French Military F1 Tent, 2 Person, New, Olive Drab

This is a decent quality pup tent, that is hard to find these days. The floor vents are a nice addition. This was the nylon model with floor vents and a high vent in the back but no back door. There is a zipped netting inner front door, and a zippered outer as well. The stakes are like new but pretty heavy steel. I haven't been caught in the rain with it yet so I can't attest to how good the seals are. Everybody suggests seam sealing stitching on any new tent, but this one has some very pretty sewing to it might be okay..time will tell.

First off, mine didn't come with the rubber lining on the floor so I'm pretty disappointed with that. This tent takes slightly longer to set up than your average pole tent but seems to be a pretty sturdy construction. I would apply a water proofing coat before I trusted it in any kind of rain and because of the 3 zipper design on the door, there is a small gap between the 3 zippers when closed and does not have a bug net. You either have the doors open and let everything in or you cook yourself, get super hot in the sun (I live in the desert) but there's easy solutions to that, like putting a heavy duty thermal tarp with the reflective side facing the sun over the top and there is a mesh vent along the floor on either side protected by an over lapping skirt on the outside and velcrow flap on the inside to keep the air out in cold conditions. The tent stakes are INCREDIBLY durable and even heavier than they are strong, 80% of this tents weight comes from the stakes. Mine came with more stakes than I need so I only carry 10, and have 7 on backup but the only reason I'd need the extras is if I lose one. The stakes will never bend or break on you, I hammered them in with a huge rock just to see how durable they were and I ended up cracking, and breaking through another rock below the surface. Its a slight fixer upper, needs some seam sealant around the bottom because of specs of light coming through and needs some water proofing. Otherwise, if you don't mind how heavy it is, this would make a fun tent to have. I got it for extended hikes and 3+ day camping trips, I would NOT recommend this to anyone who has trouble setting up a tent.

Every tent has its pro's and con's. Research before you buy, so you know what u r getting. This tent is a great tent for its price. There are better tents, and they will be more expensive. This is perfect for the purpose I am using it for. If you are going into an extreme cold scenario, this is not the tent to take. If u are going into a moderate cold to moderate hot, this tent will do you just fine. If you plan on having this tent for a long time, use it as such. Be aware that zippers and tie downs last longer if you take care with them. Treat it like you want it to last, and it will.

This is a great tent for my dog and me. I saw a review that the stakes were aluminum, but what I got were galvanized steel. The tent was easy to set up, and I wish I saw the side vents before it was pitch dark. Once I opened them up in the morning it was rather pleasant in the tent. The material was a higher weight than most tents I have used. I plan on using it every other weekend or so. I'll post an update if needed.

Just got it in opened it,looks brand new from the looks it's defanatly worth it.now waterproof/weather proof not sure just yet.i think I'll add an Xtra layer of waterproof just incase.but so far seems like a good deal

Tiny corner holes in bottom of tent. Upon setting the tent up for the first time I noticed little dots of light coming from the 4 corners of my tent. I bought flex seal liquid clear spray to fix it, seems to have done an awesome job. The base tent is okay, but if you plan on camping in heavy rain you MUST waterproof the tent or buy a separate rainfly. I used Nikwax tent and gear solarproof, it does a remarkable job. You are also going to want a ground tarp too but none that you will find easily, will fit this tent. You may have to settle for a too-big sized ground tarp and just fold the excess under the tent. This tent fits perfectly in my bug out bag, it's not too heavy and it's great for illegal or stealth camping because of its olive drab coloring. Easily pitched with only two poles. Instructions and care written in french, but the setup and washing procedure is not hard to figure out. Would definitely see myself purchasing more for some friends to go on an outing or something. Great product. 👍

Great little tent, perfect size for me as a small framed female. Easy up/down.

Camped out while I was hunting and it was great. It rained and we were completely dry. The one strap ripped but I yanked on it kinda hard. I just tied it to the stake. Did the job I actually purchased it again.
