## Description

desertcart.com : Stansport Scout Backpack Tent - Forest (713-84-B) : Pup Tent : Sports & Outdoors

Review: Good little tent but no rear window - This is a cost effective option for a decent backpacking tent IF you realize up front that you need to waterproof it before use. Every tent I own, from the cheap ones made in China to the high dollar tents, has needed waterproofing before taking it out camping. I strongly recommend "Atsko Silicone Water Guard" as it's the BEST one out there that actually works. When you're applying the spray, you can actually see that it's bonding with the tent material as the tent begins to lose its transparent see-thru look. Pay special attention to spraying your stitched seams as well as you do the rest of the tent and you won't need separate seam sealer. You can find Atsko here on desertcart, but I pick mine up at Walmart for half the price and in a 13.125 oz can. I love the classic design of this tent and the fact that it packs down into a small enough package to stow in a backpack. (Even my smaller sized packs will hold this tent) Mine did not come with the rear window even though the box clearly says it has a "zippered/screened back window", which is a bummer because you need that window for ventilation in the warmer weather. I've even used this style of tent in the winter snow and stayed dry and warm. If you really want to improve this tent from the get-go, chuck the cheesy stakes and stretchy, cheap cords that come with all tents these days and replace them with good sturdy stakes and paracord for the tie-outs. (I use the stainless steel heavy duty stakes that Wally World sells for 48 cents each. You'll need 10 of them.) This is the 3rd tent of this style that I've bought over the years simply because they work extremely well if prepped right, are lightweight and pack down small. If possible, I do like to set up an overhead tarp just to keep the sun from turning this baby into a sweatbox in the warm months and add an extra layer of rain protection just in case. Like all tents I've ever owned, a little tweaking, waterproofing and common sense care during use and you'll enjoy this tent for a long time.
Review: Not bad for the price - It sets up fast and packs pretty small. There's not a ton of room, but that's pretty much any tent, always assume it holds one less person than it's advertised as holding. My only serious criticism is that the floor is rather flimsy and I doubt it would offer much protection in even a mild rain.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How waterproof is this thing? If it suddenly started torrential rain would you be dry inside? Also, is the top sec ion and the bottom section connected, for instance is there a gap or is it one piece? can bugs crawl in the seam if there is one?**
A: John, just like any other piece of camping gear, you must have the knowledge to use it correctly to your maximum benefit. It amazes me that some people bash this little tent because they don't know how to actually use it. Let me answer your questions from the perspective of a former Boy Scout and still an avid camper/hiker. THIS IS A BACKPACKING TENT meaning, you are lugging all your gear (clothes, food, water, shelter) with you for a weekend of hiking, quite possibly miles away from where you parked your car. So how waterproof is it? - By itself, not very. Its enough to keep you dry from the morning dew and light "misty" wet conditions. Outside of that, like others have pointed out, in a torrential down pour you will be soaked to the bone. BUT!!! Ahhhh but....that is only if you use this tent by itself. Instead of letting the tent go solo, stringing up a heavy duty tarp over it will keep you dry in a light to moderate rain. Think of running a piece of rope taught from two trees then drape the center of the tarp over the rope lengthwise (like a towel on a shower towel rack). Then stake down each corner of the tarp to basically form a "tarp tent" over this smaller pup tent. Sure, you'd have to lug around a separate tarp to keep dry, but it sure beats lugging around a tent that A) weighs too much B) won't do a better job than this tent with a tarp/rain fly.Now the "Torrential rain"? Well, what tent will keep you completely dry in a monsoon? (seriously, if you know of one please, let me know!).Yes, this is all one piece. Mine is the tent fabric material from the sides up to the peak, while the "floor" and a few inches up from there is tarp material.So, to sum it up, if you are looking to buy this for your next backpacking/wilderness camping adventure, you can't go wrong with this guy and a decent size tarp to keep the rain off it. (I think the tarp I have is a 12'x12'. Anything around 10'x10' should work well) However, if you are looking to buy this for one of your kids for the next family "park n' camp" trips, buy something bigger that the kids will enjoy more.

**Q: does this come with some kind of carrying bag ?**
A: Yes, but it is just as cheap as the tent. You won't be carrying it in the bag for very long before it breaks.

**Q: is this a good back packing tent and does it stay dry when it rains**
A: I feel that this is a great backpacking/stealth camping tent. The tent is water resistant, but not water proof. Most rain will just run down the side of the tent to the ground, but if there is any areas where it can pool, then that will seep in. It is best to use this with a tarp or under a good tree. The bugscreen entrance is great for star gazing, and the walls are shear enough that you can see things approaching from all around you in the moonlight. If you are over 6'4" i'd recommend the one from Texsport, its 6 inches longer and is both camo and more waterproof, but not as resilient as this one.

**Q: dose it easy fit in the bag?**
A: this should easily fit in most bags. in its carry bag its about 14 inches long, and 4 inches in diameter. if you ditched the poles and just made your own on site then you could probably get down even smaller. I have it rolled up with my sleeping mat and attached to my bag underneath, but I have also packed it in the bag and had plenty of room. I have a Fox Advanced Mountaineering Pack though and those are about 80 liter bags, so pretty large.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great tent, saved us from EEE on a later-forbidden lake during a rainy, windy camping trip
*by B***H on November 20, 2019*

Used this on a camping trip with some friends. The lake we camped at was deemed off-limits two days later due to EEE being found in mosquitoes there Oops...oh well. Folded into it's bag, it's small enough and lightweight enough to put into a backpack. Assembly takes some getting used to, as there is no ridge pole. There is only a pole in the front and back. Make sure the lines are tight or else you'll lose a lot of interior room. Poles might get knocked down if you bump the pole going in, but it's an easy fix. It might be advertised as a two-person tent, but let's be honest, there's only enough room for one person, a backpack and a mini cot. Water resistance is ok. During the camping trip at EEE lake, a storm front came through. Lightening, thunder, rain, wind; the works. My friend and I knew this and had added a poncho-tarp to the top (military style poncho that has snaps on the side to double as a tarp, great for your B.O.B. or camping as it's dual-purpose) and hooked it over the front and back of the tent, and it helped keep the rain out. It weighed the top town a bit, so it got a bit crowded but it's worth it to not get wet. I think on it's own, it got somewhat damp on the outside but there was no standing water inside. The entrance has two flaps, one complete zip-up screen flap and a privacy flap. Both work fantastic. The Zip-flap kept the EEE mosquitoes out of my tent. There is also one small screen window (4"x6" perhaps). The screen itself is permanent, but the privacy flap to close it is on the outside, which sucks. I honestly just left it closed. To my astonishment, I was actually able to get a ultra low-profile cot (legs disassemble, not folding) inside the tent. I found a mini sleeping bag that was well-rated and an inflatable pillow on Amazon, that all went into my weekend camping kit. All worked well. The tent dried quickly the next morning and I was able to put it away. I bought one of these for my friend at a local army/navy store for my friend and he loved it as well. My third friend on the camping trip forgot a tent and decided to walk home at 2am because it was pouring rain outside. Not one of one got EEE, amazingly. Despite us getting bitten many times before turning in for the night. I'd like to credit the tent to keeping those mosquitoes out. I ran this tent through the gauntlet and it survived. Rain, wind, mosquitoes, rough woodland terrain; it survived.
