Snugpak Bunker 3 Person Tent and Tactical Shelter, Waterproof, Olive

I looked at a few tents before picking up the Snugpak bunker. The build quality on this tent is very good. The size of the tent is a little small and after spending the night in the bunker I think two people with packs and gear will be a tight fit. This tent is very easy to set up and seemed very stable. Outside temp was in the low 30's and I had no condensation on the inner walls but had a nice layer of frost on the outer fly. The low profile and small doors does make entrance and exit a little difficult but really not too bad. Headroom is adequate for general tasks. The side walls are extremely thin and the side pockets are attached to the walls in a way that causes any weight in the side pockets to pull down the wall. I think I will add a light weight net bag to the hook fastener that is on the top of the larger wall so that I have a place to securely store my glasses.Overall I really like this tent and am looking forward to many great nights.

The BunkerI purchased this tent as I wanted a high quality tent but was tired of all the brightly colored tents from other manufacturers. Wanted something that could stand up to adverse conditions as well.Tent comes in a very nice stuff sack with compression straps. Inside is the tent, bag with nice Al poles, bag with tent pegs and a bag with a repair kit. Nice packaging! The tent is a fly first setup with color coded poles, black and green. There is a green tag on the sleeve the green tagged pole slips into. Getting the inner tent portion is a bit of a struggle the first time. Have to figure out if it's the right way before you start putting the little pegs through the loops due to the dual doors. Best to set it up at home before trying to set up in the dark at some campsite.I just leave mine connected LOL so all I have to do is insert the poles. So far it seems to be working out fine. There is no footprint listed, so I bought some Tyvek and use that for a ground sheet. There are plenty of tie outs, but the tent pegs, while they look nice are substandard for hard ground. Smashed the tops of many of them already.There are 2 doors and three "layers" for each door. The outer fly zips and velcros shut, and there is also a bug screen plus another layer you can zip shut. Cuts down on the breeze and light transmission without buttoning everything up completely. Nice feature! There are peg and loop attachments for each "door" so you can tie each layer out of the way.So far I have only been out in nice conditions so can't comment on adverse weather, but am happy with my purchase.

Now this is a backpack tent, not a tent that you pop right outside your car or you'll be disappointed . Once you have the outer shell you look inside and think yeah that's allot of room. Then once you hook up the iner tent, everything shrinks way down. I'm 5'11" and its a bit snug without a sleeping bag. When you look around inside you can see there's a 8 " to 12" gap from the inner tent and outer tent which sucks up allot of room. But I see why they did this and it makes it nice and warm here in this 37 degree night.It says you can fit 3 people in there which you could do, but make sure it's people you don't mind being extremely close to each other. But you could fit 2 people in ther with 2 bags easly. But again keep inmind this is a compact tent. And the door in a bit small and the whole tent sits low to the ground which I like. Now the only reason I am give this a 4 star rating is because I wish it had the pockets inside the inner tent like the scorpion 3. And also I wish there was zipper openings in the inner tent where the vent lines up because if I'm sleeping at night and I had the vents open and it starts to rain the last thing I want to do is step outside the tent to zip them up when I could just zip them from the inside. All in all this is a good tent for your backpacking adventure.

This is hand down the best tent I have ever owned. I have taken it out three times. Every trip was a week long, and it has been through a thunderstorm that produced tornados. I was worried about condensation on the inside of the tent like the others I have owned do. But this tent never gave any issue with water leaks or condensation. The bottom material the bathtub portion is made of is very tough and looks like it will hold up to many years of use. I to like the fly first design, it allowed me to get some of my gear out of the rain until the storm blew over. The tent is kind of pricey but you are getting a lot of quality with it that you do not get with lower priced tents. This tent also weights very little I hiked it in eight miles and didn't notice it on my pack. I recommend this tent to anyone who likes to hike in some where to camp. If you car camp this might not be for you.
