Review: Light, Compact, and Surprisingly Durable – Great for Emergency Kits - I added this to my hiking pack as an emergency backup and was seriously impressed with how tough it actually is. It’s super lightweight and packs down small, so it doesn’t take up much space—perfect for ultralight gear setups or bug-out bags. Set-up was quick with the included paracord, and it held up well during a cold, windy night. Definitely not something I’d use for luxury camping, but for emergency shelter or survival situations, it’s a great thing to have on hand. The reflective material also adds warmth and visibility. Feels like a solid piece of insurance to have on any outdoor adventure. Great quality for the price and peace of mind. Review: Expensive but high quality Bug Out Bag or Emergency Kit item. - I own a DDitW emergency sleeping bag that is part of my daily hiking gear. So when I saw this on a Lightning Deal, I picked it up, and am happy I did. Hopefully like my bag I’ll never have to use it. The material seems sturdier than a normal emergency blanket, paracord is included, and it comes in a nice case. Only weighs a few ounces. Sure, it’s nothing but a tube of Mylar, but it’ll do the trick if called on. It’s not a tent, but heck, many through hikers sleep under a tarp, so it’ll provide reasonable protection from the elements if set up properly. Durability will of course be an issue if used often, but I hope to never use it. Overall a good buy and worth a few bucks more than generics. ## Features - TOUGHEST MYLAR EMERGENCY TENT ON EARTH – Designed for hiking and outdoor adventures, the DDITW Survival Tent packs away ultralight & compact and sets up quick with room for two adults. NASA-designed mylar is waterproof and reflects up to 90% of body heat for year-round protection for cold, wet, or hot weather survival. - “ABSOLUTE MUST HAVE SURVIVAL GEAR” – Your words, not ours.

With 425-lb strength paracord & reinforced tape seams, this is a truly reusable survival tube tent built for the outdoors.

Use rocks or gear to anchor the corners, and climb in. The 8x5 foot mylar tube tent can also be used as an emergency sleeping bag / emergency bivy sack / space blanket if there are no trees around. - INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH PARACORD & REINFORCED SEAMS – Other emergency shelters are made flimsy and cheap for one time use.

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. **Q: how small is the tent when folded up?** A: 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. **Q: Does it have loops so I could use 4 pegs instead of rocks to pin it down?** A: 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. **Q: What are the dimensions of the tent? In inches. If you don’t know, don’t answer. We can exchange positive thoughts telepathically.** A: The specs say the base is 5 foot by 8 foot which would make it 60" by 96." If it's an equalateral triangle, as it appears, that means the height would be about 4 foot 4 in or 52." Have not measure the thing but just using basic geometry formulas. Looks about right from the pictures of the two people in it. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Light, Compact, and Surprisingly Durable – Great for Emergency Kits *by R***S on March 29, 2025* I added this to my hiking pack as an emergency backup and was seriously impressed with how tough it actually is.

So when I saw this on a Lightning Deal, I picked it up, and am happy I did. Hopefully like my bag I’ll never have to use it.

Overall a good buy and worth a few bucks more than generics. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Last ditch, but useful *by J***N on December 18, 2024* It’s very roughly seven foot six inches long and four foot nine inches wide when laid flat. So rate it for two medium-thin adults who are extremely close. An emergency snuggle tunnel. It’s very thin and delicate (hence the light weight), so be gentle and I’d suggest putting the whole thing in a gallon bag. Once it’s unfolded, it won’t want to be as compact as it was before, so the cardboard tube and drawstring bag that it arrived in might as well be kindling and foraging containers. Useful kit if used correctly. ## Frequently Bought Together - World's Toughest Ultralight Survival Tent • 2 Person Mylar Emergency Shelter Tube Tent + Paracord • Year-Round All Weather Protection for Hiking, Camping, & Outdoor Survival Kits - Emergency Sleeping Bag with Hood | Ultralight, Waterproof, Thermal Mylar Sleeping Bag Liner | Survival Bivy Space Blanket Bivey for Hiking, Backpacking, Earthquake, Camping, 72 Bug Out, Survival Kit - LifeStraw Personal Water Purifier for Hiking, Camping, Travel, and Emergency Preparedness --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/107352892-emergency-tent-compact-outdoor-survival-shelter-ultralight-waterproof-extra-thick](https://www.desertcart.us/products/107352892-emergency-tent-compact-outdoor-survival-shelter-ultralight-waterproof-extra-thick) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-10*
