Best Survival Tent 2022

#1  Go Time Gear Life Emergency Survival Tent

This is an improved version of the classic space blanket. The same heat-reflecting Mylar (double layer), which was glued together on opposite sides, to make a soft and flexible 8 x 5 ft pipe. The effectiveness of this decision is very doubtful. The absence of butt joints improved heat saving, but the open side faces lose all reflected heat (which is not so much). Best of all, this tent will cope with bad weather, protecting from rain and wind. It is also a good idea to use it as a sleeping bag, wrapping a loose flap on the side of the legs. Then you get a warm cocoon in which you can wait out the night or bad weather.

#2 River Country Products Survival Tent

This tent may seem like a great option, but it is only at first glance. The small size of the internal space does not even allow you to sit straight (especially if you are tall). Poor ventilation will also be an unpleasant surprise. Stale air in a short time will begin to accumulate in droplets of condensate. Even if you open the door completely, it will only slow down the formation of new drops of condensate. Now imagine that there are 2 people inside this tent. The manufacturer says that this tent is double. You may argue: “Better at least some kind of shelter than just sleeping in a bivvy.” And you will be right! If a strong cold wind rises, the tent will help to shelter from it. But as soon as it starts to rain, the opinion will change. This tent is a great shelter when dry, but gets wet in the first minutes of rain. Even additional processing of the tent walls with sealant on both sides will not correct the situation. Without a waterproof rain butterfly, this tent will be poor shelter. The main advantages of this tent are its lightweight and the size of the entire set. This is really important when you climb the mountains and every extra pound pulls the backpack down. The manufacturer coped with this perfectly. As a result, this is a cheap and lightweight tent for 3 seasons. She has some features that have to accept or choose another tent.

#3  Mezonn Survival Sleeping Tent

This is a simple and versatile emergency survival kit. A compact bag will be a great addition to an emergency suitcase or emergency rescue kit in the glove compartment of a car. A whistle is included in the rescue kit, with which you can identify yourself in a dense forest. This can help search and rescue operations. If you are “lucky” to meet a bear – a whistle can also scare the “guest” and help to avoid the attack of a predator. A 20-foot cable can be used as described in the instructions for setting up a tent, and a waterproof bag-cover can be turned into a soft pillow, filling it with dry foliage and grass. If the weather and temperature make you feel relatively comfortable – use the canvas as a shelter-tent. If the cold is too strong, wrap yourself in a cloth-like a sleeping bag.

#4 SharpSurvival Survival Shelter Tent

This is exactly the case when the seller does not try to sell you air at the price of gold. This tent does not have any additional equipment, except for the glued canvas and the bag in which it lies. To set up this tent as in the picture you will need a rope. her absence in an emergency can be an important omission. In the field, you can replace the rope with a perfectly smooth stick and the staghorn on which it will rest. It might work. The maximum warming effect can be obtained if you wrap yourself in a tent-like in a sleeping bag and close the free valve by bending it under your legs. Do not forget, the material is fragile enough and one wrong movement and the sole of the shoes will make an additional window for ventilation.

#5 Don’t Die In The Woods Ultralight Survival Tent

This tent from “Don’t Die In The Woods” is a good continuation of a series of products for survival. Is this equipment is not for camping – THIS IS AN EXTRA TENT. Its purpose is to save a life when it is impossible to do it in other ways! The manufacturer approached product development very responsibly. The thick Mylar layer HeatFlex shows good strength with all the same minimum dimensions. The nice little things in the form of a strong rope and a waterproof cover are not a unique feature, and good customer service is cool. “Don’t Die In The Woods” guarantees 100% satisfaction and meets every client whose expectations were not met. “Don’t Die In The Woods” – reliability that you REALLY can rely on in an emergency.

#6  UST Survival Blanket/Tarp 2.0

The manufacturer presents this 3-layer tarpaulin made of reinforced fabric and metalized polyester as a shelter from wind, rain, and sun. It can also be a good heat insulator for the tent floor or emergency blanket. This tarpaulin will find application in daily use: to cover the car from the sun, put it on the ground during a picnic, wrap food for short-term transportation. Now about not quite pleasant things about this tarp. If you want to make a canopy out of it by pulling on the ropes, then be prepared for defeat. Corner loops located at the corners will simply break out and bend, and the seams will open in different directions. Even with moderate wind (8-10 miles per hour), the tarp can tear to shreds. If you want to use this tarp as a rain butterfly for a tent, be prepared for the flood. It is regrettable – it will not protect you from rain and bad weather.

#7  Halivio Survival Tent for Emergency Shelter

Durable emergency mylar tent. It can serve as a sleeping bag or blanket in an emergency. This is not an everyday tent! It is designed to prevent you from freezing if you are stuck in the mountains or protect from the scorching sun. In order for the tent to keep warm, it should be towards the top with the orange side, in order to keep cool – silver to the top. Included with this tent is a bracelet for emergency cases. It is equipped with an emergency beacon and a compass. The compass will help you navigate the terrain, and the lighthouse will give a signal of help. Due to the fact that the tent is very light and compact, it does not take up much space in your luggage and in emergency cases can save lives.

#8 Back 40 Outfitters Emergency Tent

This is a classic emergency kit with a bright orange outer side and a silver (heat-reflecting) inner side. The canvas can be used as a shelter in the form of a tent for one person, or as a blanket for a group of people. The canvas is strong enough under tension, is not blown by the wind and does not allow water to pass through. Excellent short-term protection against any weather. Relatively lightweight (1.2 pounds) and sufficient size for wrapping (8ft long, 5ft wide) fully fulfill their main function – they take up little space and come to the rescue when it is most needed. Well suited specifically for emergencies. When there is no raincoat, when it’s too cold in the stands during a hockey match, when the car is stuck on a winter road and you need to wait for a tow truck for several hours in a cold car. In addition, the kit has a strong whistle of 120 decibels. He will help identify himself and attract rescuers at a distance of about 1 mile in a dense forest. If you need help in a mountainous area, where there are far fewer sound-absorbing obstacles, this whistle can be heard for many miles, and this should help with the search. Everyone should have an emergency kit because no one knows when to need it. But do not have too high expectations for it. For each tourist trip, you need to carefully prepare, study the temperature regime of the region, find out what the weather will be like, where are the nearest settlements and much more. Emergency kit – for emergencies.

#9 Bearhard Emergency & Survival Tent

To begin with, it is important to say that the seller immediately put forward several strong offers related to survival in emergency conditions. Today we are considering tents – therefore, further on, only about the tent from Bearhard. This extra kit really saves a life. With the same standard sizes for emergency tents, this tent has a really thoughtful design and full equipment.

• You do not need to look for a rope in the middle of the forest – here it is (16.5″).
• Are you afraid that with high tension the paracord will tear or stretch the canvas? All corners are reinforced with an additional dense strip.
• You no longer need to look for stones or logs heavy enough to hold the tent and smooth enough not to tear it. Here are 4 stakes and special securely glued eyelets in the corners of the tent.

If you do not have enough heat, remove 2 pegs (from the side of the legs) and use one of the metal clamps to close one outlet. In a minute it will become much warmer. As we said – this is an EMERGENCY kit. He must withstand in a stressful situation and help to survive.

#10 SE Emergency Outdoor Tube Tent

This emergency tent looks much more massive than its competitors due to its denser material. If we talk about protection from cold, rain, and wind – this tent will fully protect you. In addition, it is very easy to install, which can be important in an emergency. Of the weaknesses, it should be noted:

• The tent is made of substances recognized as carcinogenic in the state of California (it can cause cancer and infertility) – during an emergency, this is not so important, but you need to know this.
• The tent has only one entrance and has no windows for ventilation. This leads to condensation.
• Lugs for pegs are likely to break out in the first place. This is also not critical to survival, but very unpleasant.

In general, this is a strong tent with which you can survive a few extra days. You should also understand that these days will be deprived of comfort. It really will be survival…

#Bonus: Go Time Gear Life Bivy Emergency Sleeping Bag

Tactical & Survival Expert

I am from the generation that tried to repeat all the tricks of Jackie Chan, hunted birds with homemade bows, and built my mini-base in the forest. At the age of 18, I was a scout in PLAST (scout organization) and participated in campaigns and quests. Somehow we decided to test ourselves, took our backpacks and walked 50 km (31 miles) in 1 day. We had a lot of fun!

Remembering my past, I ask in bewilderment: “How am I alive after all my adventures?” - harsh trials, reckless parties, love affairs, and a sea of silliness.

My hobbies are weapon upgrades, tactical gear, and the latest in wilderness survival technology. I have hundreds of different survival gadgets in my collections, which are sent to me for "test-driving" by Amazon, eBay, and other online retailers. That's what I write about, and I also make YouTube videos about them! Stay tuned!
