Comments about Camp Time Roll-A-Cot:

I have used this cot for 9 years now. I have always liked it. Nothing has ever broken. If you put a pad on it, it is really comfortable. Without the pad, it is still comfortable. I have used it on at least a 100 outings. It was even used as a stretcher a few times. Beyound a doubt, it was worth every penny.

Comments about Camp Time Roll-A-Cot:

I have tried other cots and this one is the best. I am 6' and weigh about 230 lbs. I have used this in all seasons. Great support for a guy with a bad back. Easy to put up, take down and light. I like storage bag that doubles as the side pocket, I keep my glasses, cell phone, and flash light close by. This a great investment, you can spend less and not be comfortable. I spend about 30 days a year camping with the Boy Scouts. I would not leave home without this cot.

Comments about Camp Time Roll-A-Cot:

This is the fourth cot style I've tried and the first I could set up by myself, with my limited hand strength. This cot is a keeper. I just got it and look forward to using it next summer. With a little padding I'll be sleeping on cloud nine. I only wish it was about 3 to 4 inches wider (but not longer) for short plump people who like to sleep on their stomach.

Comments about Camp Time Roll-A-Cot:

Adds immeasurably to a comfortable night's sleep, especially in creepy-crawly country. Creates lots of extra room in tents (stowage under). Gets sleep gear off ground. Wetting no worry, dries fast. Sturdy, durable. Cylindrical shape stows easily in canoe. Carry case fastens to frame, makes handy holder for lights, handguns, &tc. All their products are best quality.

Comments about Camp Time Roll-A-Cot:

A great investment. I use two of them weekly as clothes drying racks. An added bonus, I'm able to host more guests comfortably. To further increase the comfort of my guests, I Velcro two cots together and place an inflatable queen mattress on top.
While I wouldn't think of taking a cot backpacking, I have brought mine plenty of places. Ensuring a good nights sleep!
When not needed, they roll up very small. I have had mine for years, and they are showing no signs of wear.

The only issue I have is the wing nut tensioning. Getting the cot really firm can be a bit tough on the fingertips.

Comments about Camp Time Roll-A-Cot:

For just an overnight trip, I might sleep on the ground or a pad, but for a week of camping, this cot is essential. It is comfortable, lightweight, compact, and easy to move around. It is also an great standby for an unexpected overflow of house guests. Give the kids sleeping bags and these cots and they happily set up fort on the porch or in one of the rooms. We live in a cape that can get very hot upstairs in the summer. On nights that are especially bad, we open up our cots downstairs and enjoy the cooler temps.

Comments about Camp Time Roll-A-Cot:

I spent 19 nights on this cot at World Scout Jamboree this summer and it was great! This is definitely a long-term camp item. Packing this for air travel was a hassle, but well worth it. I used at 3/4" ThermoRest on top of it for extra padding and it was like sleeping in a real bed. Not sure I would have made it three weeks slepping on the ground. I'll definitely take this one to Scout camp next summer. Absolutely recommend this to anyone on a long-term camp where packing size/weight isn't an issue.

Comments about Camp Time Roll-A-Cot:

I used the roll-a-cot camping thru the winter in the sub-actic. It is great for base camp. To put the cot closer to the tent ceiling where it was warmer and to make room underneth for storage, I extended the legs with whittled tree limbs. Alaskan outfitters that take NY executives into the wild use these for their clients. There is no cot better.

Easy set up and durable. We have several that are at least 12 years old. Makes a night on the river that much more enjoyable! The new mesh bag is a huge plus because your bed never fills with water! Dries in minutes! Super comfertable!

Comments about Camp Time Roll-A-Cot:

Was not at all impressed by the set-up, comfort nor size of this cot. I am 6' @ 140 lbs, but this cot is just way too small to get a comfortable night’s sleep on. Would rather sleep on the ground/floor than on this cot.

Also was unimpressed by the tautness adjustment. The only good thing i can say about this cot is it’s lightweight and compact. I would rather carry a heavier military style cot and have some comfort, or just sleep on the ground, because the weight of this cot is not worth the poor comfort it provides.
