Kodiak showed up yesterday. :wings:

Now looking for a several folding cots. Space is a premium so a cot that folds into a small package is a plus.

Liked the SlumberJacks but they don`t fold. Leary of the Colemans.

Any recommendations ?

Lots here to compare at Cabelas (http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/index/index-display.jsp?id=cat20146&navAction=jump&navCount=1&cmCat=MainCatcat20075&parentType=category&parentId=cat20075).

This one looks cool, but there are many there.

After reading the review in the first gear issue of OJ, I picked up one of these: http://www.camptime.net/roll-a-cot.htm . Pricey, but one of the best night's sleep away from home I ever had! Easy setup, able to adjust sleep surface tension, and durable. One downfall for some, not me though, is storage space. It's about three feet long tucked in the bag, and roughly 6-8" in diameter. I find that an advantage, because most cots store flat and are bulky in a cramped overlanding vehicle.

Old Thread I know....but...

The Roll a Cot is too low to the ground. Go with the Slumberjack Big Cot XL and you will NOT be disappointed.

I like a cot that is lower to the ground so that I have more space above my head in the tent :)

I have this Cabela's model that Corey posted. It's nice. Takes a certain amount of strength to get the pieces locked in place, but once you do, it's extremely sturdy and the fabric is nice and taut. Worth considering.

Thanks for the advice. Ended up with a set of 5 of the generic green folding cots from Bass Pro Shops. About 50 bucks each.

Seem to work well. Adjustable tension and sturdy construction. No complaints here.
