Ventilation

Back

Four built-in ventilators located on opposite sides near the apex, or top, of the tent provide ventilation.

Four drying lines are rigged inside the tent, on which personnel can hang wet clothing and equipment.

The tent weighs approximately 76 pounds including the tent, liner, telescoping center pole, and tent pins.

Although bulky and heavy, it is easy to set up, with few parts.

Note: Attempts to design new tents have resulted in more complex designs that are not blackout capable and weigh as much or more than the ten-man arctic tent.
