Go Time Gear Survival Life Tent • 2 Person Mylar Emergency Shelter Tube Tent + Paracord • All-Weather Protection for Camping, Hiking, & Survival Kits • Includes Emergency Whistle

TL;DR: Pack- and user-friendly, 'best in class' for an affordable survival shelter.Quality item, well-sized, durable and puncture-resistant material. There are obvious limits to this kind of gear, but respect those limits and this shelter can handle a fair share of misuse and abuse. As per Murphy's Law, anything can be destroyed, but in the class of 'survival tents' the Go Time Life Tent rates highly in idiot-proofness. My rigorously scientific research includes setting it up in our back yard and letting my kids and wife at it. They've shredded other advertised 'indestructible' shelters, tarps, other gear, etc. (give me your indestructible knife, my wife will find a way), and the Go Time has handled it without more than a little stretching and a couple of tiny burn holes from the kids roasting s'mores a little too close to it. Like any tent, it won't protect you from a cold ground, so remember to have an insulative layer. (No sleeping pad? Soft vegetation like leaves, turf, springy branches will do.)Of course, as a 'survival item' it may well spend 100% of its life packed up. On that count, the Go Time really does manage to be lighter than its competitors, and compresses easily. (I swapped the paracord for 50' of 100# kevlar braided line and 2' of duct tape, which lightens it further and takes up 1/3 the size of the para.) Fits inside a small Trangia mess tin with room to spare for more 'survival gear.' In other words, it doesn't give you a reason to 'leave it behind' and not have it when you need it (which--Murphy's Law again--will only be when you don't have it).

The Go Time Gear Survival Life Tent is an excellent addition to any emergency kit, and after testing it out, we were thoroughly impressed. The compact size and lightweight design make it perfect for carrying on any outdoor adventure without adding much bulk. It easily folds into a small sack, making storage simple.The tent’s tear-resistant polyethylene material is highly durable, and it provides solid weatherproof protection by reflecting 90% of body heat—great for harsh conditions. Setting it up is a breeze, and it can be used not only as a tent but also as an emergency sleeping bag or bivvy sack if trees aren’t available.The included 120-decibel whistle and 550lb Paracord drawstring are thoughtful additions that enhance its functionality, making it more than just a shelter. This tent is an essential item for anyone’s survival kit or bug-out bag and performs perfectly when you need it the most.Overall, it’s a reliable, well-made product that offers great peace of mind for outdoor adventures. Highly recommended!

If you are a hiker or a prepper, this is something that will work as shelter ... quickly ... in an emergency. Not the best, top quality ... but it will work.

Happy to have this item, but I hope I don’t have to use it! I’m glad it is so small, making it easier to fit in our go bag. I think the price was very fair and I expect the waterproof capability to hold up well. The look is nice and bright in case we ever in a situation where we need to be seen from the sky. I feel like the value is spot on.

First off I’d like to point out how lite this is. It’s almost weightless in my hand. Very happy with that aspect.However the claim that it’s durable enough for multiple use is a far stretch from the truth. This is a one and done product. It does stretch however it stretches to the point of wrinkling into worthlessness. It gets so thin when stretched and it stretches very easily. So I can only imagine setting it up and rolling around on the inside of it with next to no cushion between you and the hard ground would mangle this fabric over night. That being said...... it’s an emergency option! I only want it it work once! If god forbid I ever need it , I’d promptly buy a new one after it’s use.Also another huge plus side for me is that the stuff sack is very over sized. I purchased both the tent and the bivi from life tent. Not only did both the tent and bivi fit into the stuff sack there was enough room for an Altoids tin fire kit as well. This gives you shelter, warmth in the form of reflective material and in the form of fire. Also wards off unwanted guests at night and allows you to boil water and cook some kind of food with the addition of some kind of metal cup.All in all I think it’s a fantastic product. But just keep in mind, this is a one time use save your life product.

These are great little tents to have as a just-in-case measure. I got these for mine and my wife's car for when we go on adventures. It is always best to plan for the worst and expect the best. These fit great in the back of the SVU, in the storage compartment. Great bang for your buck!

I have a big bag for my kit and one of the pieces I was missing was a shelter, This tent is small enough to fit in my bag and give me peace of mind, I put it in a zip lock bag with a emergency blanket, Emergency pillow Yes that's a thing, and an emergency sleeping bag, Combined with a five by seven tarp. With all of these items especially the tent I can now feel reasonably safe if I ever got stuck out in the wilderness. And for me it's a possibility as I like to go hiking and I don't have a good sense of direction or navigation. So this little tent gives me Peace of Mind!

It is a great deal and the heat reflective material works well. keep in mind it is a super thin plastic that will puncture or tear pretty easily, kinda like a trash bag. Not a flaw just a limitation of keeping it lightweight and compact. An improvement that could be made is a built in clip or grommet or something to hold the tarp on the line its hung from.
