personally man I am with les stroud: "Well, a lean-to is simply useless as a survival shelter"
I am really impressed with Ozark trail brand tents. I slept in mine and my pal's during that southeastern expeditionary day 3 video I did. I was really impressed by the room and durability you get for the price. I want to get a single man coffin tent also, I own a two man now I did a video on and it performed for me. Has a neat little cargo net on the roof too.i know that there are times that you could be without a tent or tarp for a shelter, but with the prices of tents these days, especially in the off-season which are really cheap!!>....i just bought a tent for $30 (5 man tent)..small, light and fits with my bug out equipment. I also have a small trailer, and other tents as well just because you never know!!
I just posted pics of my 3 tents in the Survival Gear thread here-i know that there are times that you could be without a tent or tarp for a shelter, but with the prices of tents these days, especially in the off-season which are really cheap!!>....i just bought a tent for $30 (5 man tent)..small, light and fits with my bug out equipment.

Yeah I'm amazed that astronauts weren't issued with mylar bags (or even regular sleeping bags) for emergencies. The Apollo 13 crew nearly froze to death without them....In my bob, I carry two person mylar emergancy "bags" and tube tents. Erected fast, keep you sorta dry, and the mylar double bags will certainly keep you warm. The real plus is that they weigh next to nothing., Condensation can be a problem though, so you need to try and keep a little air flowing though as best you can.
