Bought it to use when g’kids visited… they show using one of the legs to force the long side bars into the fabric pocket… of course, the results in scratched metal. I was simply not able to bend the metal enough to get the legs in by myself. I am a grandmother, but I am not frail by any means.I would not recommend this cot unless someone quite strong to bend the metal.
Hi Bob. Years ago I bought a couple of coleman cots from Wally World . The ones that come with the foam mattress. They’re only meant for car camping because they weigh a ton. However, they are extremely comfortable and have lasted for much longer than I anticipated. We use them often. Set up is easy. Overall, I’d give them a thumbs up for comfort, reliability and value.

Hey Bob, looks like you used this same spot a week later than this vid for your “Trekking Tuesday”… and just wanted to comment on how I love to set up camp along a huge fallen log… so there’s something to sit on, process wood on, etc. However, more often than not, when I do find a horizontal log, there’s usually a pile of raccoon crap on it somewhere. Have you had any issues with raccoons visiting you at night as they scamper across a log ? Also, I have a couple cots as well…haven’t used them for camping just yet… one of them needs it’s frame covered in canvas again. I have the material, but dread the tedious stitching I’d have to do… not sure a sewing machine would help either. Maybe I’ll opt for some heavy duty velcro. The cot frame I found at a Salvation Army thrift store for cheap… and I knew exactly what it was when opening it’s unlabeled box. I seem to keep making more and more projects for myself…and I’m not sure it would be better to just buy items that are not “handyman specials”…unless I plan to customize / add features to the project. I’m not sure what I could add to a cot to make it more functional / tricked out. Any ideas ? Maybe add tall skinny wheels to the bottom so it could be pushed or pulled along trails instead of on one’s back ? Seems the bulk of my cots is preventing me from wanting to take them to the woods… could possibly be transported behind my bike if they had their own wheels. Would probably lose some “coolness points” for that though.
I’ve been going bonkers trying to put this together but learned a few tricks…especially trying to figure out how to get those legs in place. Yes, I could do it by pulling the leg towards me well on the ground bent over the canvas – but it wore me out along with muscle pain the next day. Can’t have that – right? Determined – just the other night I figured this way out and let me tell you – it works!!! Here’s what you do: 1. Once the side rails are in – grab a leg. 2. Stick one end of the leg in a side-rod hole. 3. Once securely in the hole, pick up the Canvas while standing and straddle it. That’s right. You’re NOT on the floor. You’re standing up! And yes, ‘straddle’ means that one of your legs are on each side of the Canvas. 4. While holding the Canvas with one hand between your legs, your other hand is holding the other side of the leg that needs inserted at the top. 5. Here’s the trick: While having the leg that’s in the hole of the side-rail at the bottom of the Canvas on the floor (ground), lightly step on the leg. Yep, put your foot on it. It will bend with your own weight enough to lower that leg so you can insert the top of the leg into the hole above!!! How easy-peasy is that? Don’t worry while stepping on the leg – it will ‘not’ slip out of the bottom hole. Continue on with the other legs the same way. Wha-la! No getting down on the floor. Hardly no muscle used! No sweat or struggle! Best of all – no pain! Couple more tops: *Heavy rubber bands around the legs so they stay together and don’t slide out.
Interesting article Bob. I don’t use cots when hiking…. just tooooo heavy and tooooo much trouble. My cousin Judy and I carried homemade fishnet hammocks for muddy conditions. I do keep a couple of Colman Cots around for when all the grandkids come over. BTW: I am wondering…. instead of wood slats couldn’t you just put it on a ground cloth? That should keep it from sinking. One of the things I like about your articles is that I know you have really tested something in the field before you review it. I don’t care much for out of the box reviews. Thanks again. .. good to see you back in the woods….later….
Awesome article Bob. It’s always cool perusal how you customize different gear. I have used quite a few of your tricks/mods on pieces of my gear. When I watch your articles I swear I can see your mind working and thinking about ways to modify or optimize whatever you are working with. Thanks for sharing stuff like this Bob. There are a lot of us that respect your feedback and opinion. I appreciate you sharing your articles so we can all learn together… Oh and have you been using your Ultimate Sports Mobile(the big white van) lately? I love that badboy! I don’t know if you have heard of a YouTuber Wranglerstar? Like you, he also is a badass and right now is in the beginning of building his 3rd Ultimate Sports Mobile. Thought maybe you would be interested if you aren’t already subscribed to his website already. Thanks for your time. -Mark
