Emergency Shelter

About Emergency Shelters & Sleeping

When disaster strikes it may not be safe to remain in your home or work location and since you cannot predict what the weather will be like in an emergency, make sure you have emergency supplies in place to keep you warm and dry no matter what the situation is. At home? At Work, On the Road? Are you covered?

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most common questions about emergency sleeping and shelter, from weather protection and packability to whether your shelter holds up when you need it more than once — because rough conditions are exactly when shelter has to work.

Does an emergency tent actually keep me warm and dry?

Yes, mostly. Emergency tents — such as tube tents and mylar shelters — keep you dry and trap body heat to create a noticeably warmer environment inside. They are survival gear, not camping gear; expect cramped conditions and limited comfort, but they can make a significant difference in a survival situation.

How small does an emergency shelter pack down?

Most emergency tube tents pack down small enough to fit in a backpack, pocket, or go bag — making them one of the most space-efficient pieces of shelter gear you can carry. Our emergency shelter tube tent measures 6.5" x 7.5" in its package, and 8.5' x 6' when opened.

Can I use an emergency tube tent in the rain?

Yes, our tube tent is waterproof and works well in rain or snow. Ventilation is limited, so expect some internal condensation. Orient the opening away from wind and rain for maximum protection.

Are your emergency tents reusable?

Yes. Our tube tents are made from durable tarp material and can be refolded and several many times, making them a practical addition to any emergency kit.
