Review on 🏕️ Olive Drab French Army 2 Man Pup Tent - Military Surplus Camping Gear by Erick Hernandez

So far I have used this tent to provide a house guest with a backyard guest room. Seems well done. The set includes a tent, two foldable aluminum poles, 16 steel stakes, two long ropes and 6 short ropes. Setup was easy. It comes with setup instructions. written in french. For those who, like my guest, are not used to dealing with this type of tent, here are the instructions: 1. Fix the tent floor to the ground with 8 stakes.2. Install a pole at each end of the tent. The end of the tent pole, covered with a thin plastic disc, comes out to the ground just behind the tent floor. The top of the pole fits into a triangular laminated plastic pocket at the top (visor) at each end of the tent.3. Use the ropes and the 8 remaining stakes to complete the campsite. The two longest ropes are attached to loops at the ends of the tent. Six shorter ropes are attached to the loops on the sides of the tent (3 loops on each side). Each of the ropes has a piece of metal that can be used to pull the rope. This is a single-layer tent made from waterproof but non-breathable material. At the top of the tent door is a very small mesh window at each end. (It's rainproof because the top of the tent pops out a bit.) There's an easy way to secure the tent doors if you want. It was a hot summer night when my guest used the tent and left both tent doors open early in the night so it didn't get too hot. (Doors closed in the middle of the night when I heard raccoons yelling in the yard.) I like that with this style of tent the poles are less prone to bending or breaking than the poles in freestanding new style tents. The tent's poles are strong and could probably be driven into a variety of ground types without bending down. (However, as other reviewers have pointed out, they're steel, so they're heavier than comparable aluminum poles.) Also, this tent is slightly roomier than similar basic two-person puppy tents I used 30 years ago.
