Military Surplus Tents
Issue Shelters • One-Man to 6–8 Man • 5 SKUs
Genuine government-issue shelter at Keep Shooting — 5 SKUs of real military surplus tents that scale from a single soldier to a full squad. The US Improved Combat Shelter (ICS) is the one-person combat tent in ACU camo; the HDT Base-X Model 105 is a 237.5 sq ft rapid-deploy base shelter that sleeps 6–8 and pitches in under seven minutes; and the UNHCR-spec UN Lightweight Emergency Tent is a tunnel-style family shelter built for preparedness and relief. Round it out with a Swiss tent-pole set and an Austrian tent-stake pack to pitch and anchor whatever you carry.
Military Surplus Tents
About Military Surplus Tents
Keep Shooting’s military surplus tents catalog runs 5 SKUs of genuine government-issue shelter — real combat, base, and emergency tents pulled from military stores, not commercial camping reproductions. The lineup scales from a one-person combat tent to a 6–8-man rapid-deploy base shelter and a UNHCR-spec family emergency tent, plus the poles and stakes to pitch them. It sits inside the broader field gear catalog alongside sleeping bags, blankets, and mess kits.
Combat & Personal Shelters
The US Military Improved Combat Shelter (ICS) is the genuine U.S. Army one-person tent that replaced the old two-man shelter-half — issued in ACU camo and built from flame-resistant ripstop nylon with a blackout rainfly, a bathtub floor that keeps groundwater out, and free-standing poles so it pitches anywhere (NSN 8340-01-521-6438). It’s the lightest, most packable shelter in the catalog and the natural pick for one soldier, one hunter, or one bug-out bag. See more US army surplus.
Base & Group Shelters
When you need to cover a crew, the HDT Base-X Model 105 Shelter Tent is a serious rapid-deployment soft-wall shelter: 237.5 square feet, room for 6–8 personnel, and a frame that sets up in under seven minutes. It ships complete with a liner, stake kit, wind-line kit, and repair kit (NSN 8340-01-533-1678) — the same Base-X platform used by the military and disaster-response agencies for command posts, aid stations, and field housing. This is the one to look at for a hunting camp, a work site, or a preparedness group shelter, also found in US army surplus.
Emergency & Relief Shelter
The UN Lightweight Emergency Tent is built to UNHCR specifications — the tunnel-style family shelter used in refugee and disaster-relief camps worldwide. It pairs a waterproof polyester fly with a breathable poly-cotton inner tent, an HDPE groundsheet floor, and two doors for ventilation and access. That combination makes it a strong preparedness choice: enough room for a family, proven in the field, and designed to live outside for the long haul rather than a single weekend.
Poles, Stakes & Setup
A shelter is only as good as what holds it up. The Swiss Military Tent Pole Set is a clean source of sectional surplus poles for building or repairing a shelter rig (more Swiss army surplus), and the Austrian Tent Stakes – 8 Pack gives you a set of heavy military-issue stakes that hold in ground where the thin commercial wire stakes pull right out. Both are cheap insurance against a shelter that won’t stay pitched.
Pairing & Cross-References
A tent is the cover half of an overnight kit. Pair one with a surplus sleeping bag and a wool blanket for the sleep system, a canteen and mess kit for water and cooking, and an entrenching tool to clear and drain a tent site. Everything here is part of the broader military surplus catalog — the same genuine government-issue gear, sold at surplus prices.
