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).

Can't beat in case of emergency, size is fantastic, good quality

I bought this for my go bag on the recommendation of an experienced backpacker. It’s reasonably priced, small and lightweight so it fits nicely in your go bag. It is open both sides and, like most survival tents, comes without poles and stakes. I didn’t realize that when I bought it. I gave it 4 stars because it will be a challenge to set it up. It’ll require rocks to hold it down and two objects to tie it up to! If you are in the dark with no trees that won’t be possible. It’s strictly emergency, last resort. Also, It says it comes with an emergency whistle which was not included in the box. Thankfully the rope was there. I thought about returning it. It says wind and water proof but two open sides won’t afford much shelter in a storm. I decided to keep it until I can afford a lightweight freestanding tent that will offer more protection. Be aware that it will require care to set it up on level ground with nothing that will puncture it. It has great reviews but all of them noted this. It’s durable but will puncture or tear if set up on sharp rocks, twigs, etc.

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!

Nice and compact; simple and functional. Make sure to pay attention to how it unfolds if you want to put it back in the bag. There are a million folds and it would certainly be a nightmare in the wind. However, this is an emergency tent so don't expect frills or luxury. Para-cord ends will need to be redone to prevent fraying. Final photo was after I folded it back up and put it away (no photos of the tent deployed because I didn't fully open it up). I laid it out on the floor and it's the same material as an emergency blanket (mylar, I believe). I ordered this tent twice. The first arrived with a broken sliding spring lock. They were very quick to provide a replacement and the owner sent follow-up emails to ensure complete customer satisfaction. All-in-all: Great product for the price! Now, I just hope I don't need to use it ha.

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.

when I am walking a 10-15 mile loop trail I want to have a portable shelter in case something goes wrong. A tent is too heavy. This fits the bill nicely, it will sit on the bottom of my pack and be ready in case I need it. I set it up in my backyard to test it and it went up easily and is large enough for me to fit in comfortably (6'1 250 lbs). Folding it back up was not as much fun but doable. This is an emergency shelter. It is not meant to replace a multi-use tent but it looks like it is durable enough for several nights in the field.

This is by far one of the most compact survival tents I have ever come across. I am very happy with its size when rolled and stored. It fits inside one of my Molle pouches, along with a Mylar rain poncho, and a fire starter. With room to spare. This is literally perfect for my bug out bags and hiking bag, and I fully intend on buying many more of these. Both in orange and green. And giving them out as gifts, these are literally perfect. I watched and read many reviews before deciding on this product and I am 100% satisfied I made the right decision, they are tear resistant, light, and compact. “If you mind your ounces pounds will take care of themselves” and this tent is absolutely proof of that. I will absolutely recommend this product to anyone on the market. And this is now my go to for building hiking and bug out bags.

Toggle broke about 5 seconds out the box, material is “tear resistant” which means absolutely nothing. Honestly just go down to your local supermarket and buy some aluminium foil at this point.

Not needed to use it yet but appears to be fit for purpose

No he tenido la necesidad de usarlo, pero se me hizo una opción accesible y reducida para emergencias. Se ve de buena calidad.

Super Qualität
