Next project on my list...

I have seen this pop up here and there and I think there is great use in it.

Made the Alpha Tent this afternoon...



There is enough room underneath for myself (I am 5'11") and my gear. 

I used a Belgian Army surplus poncho and 2 old Easton aluminum tent poles. I have a little detail and finish work to do but this will be put into field testing ASAP...

Nicely done. Only other thing you'd need down here is a bug net underneath it.

I have done that and kept it in my GHB. Hardest part for me was finding the right length for the poles. Lightweight and dual purpose was what I wanted at the time.
