UN Lightweight Emergency Tent

Two-Room Emergency Shelter

The Mil-Tec UN Lightweight Emergency Tent is a large tunnel-style shelter in the pattern of the white relief tents seen in emergency camps. It is meant for situations that call for real living space: base camps, disaster preparedness, group camping or a long stay on one site. A blue inner tent splits the interior into two separate rooms, so one shelter can give sleeping and storage space, or two people some privacy.

Features

• Tunnel Hoop Frame — A row of arched poles holds the canopy in a long tunnel shape, which gives near-vertical walls and usable headroom along the length of the tent.
• Double-Wall Construction — A white outer fly sits over a separate blue inner tent, with a gap between the two layers.
• Two Separate Rooms — The inner tent is divided into two compartments, each closed off from the other.
• Zippered Entrances — Full-height zippered door panels at the ends open wide, and the outer door can be rolled up and tied out of the way.
• Side Windows — Rectangular window panels are set into both the outer walls and the inner tent to let daylight in.
• Toggle-Mounted Fly — Black toggles and ties along each arch fasten the outer fabric to the frame poles.
• Guy Lines At The Arches — Coiled cords at the top of the frame let you guy the tent out for stability in wind.
• Grey Base Skirt — A grey band runs around the base of the outer wall where the tent meets the ground.

Frame And Construction

The layout is the same as a standard tunnel tent: hoop poles first, the white outer fly fastened along each arch with toggles, then the blue inner rooms hung beneath. Zippered seams join the outer panels at the doorway, and the inner tent has its own window and door openings. The interior is large enough for an adult to sit up comfortably in the doorway with room to spare behind.
