Cot recommendations

[jdvanstar]

I am looking for a cot fordoing some camping/hunting. This will be for camping near a car (I use a pad for the backcountry). Anyone have some recommendations? I'm having a hard time figuring out what's best.

Thanks!

The Cabelas outfitter xl cot is hard to beat, get the pad that matches with it and you’re set, more comfortable than the bed in my house

Yep, cabelas cots are cheap and function well. I just have the standard outfitter one and it works fine.

That's what I was leaning toward. Thanks!

The Cabela's XL cot is as huge as specs say it is, I'm 6'5 and bought it because of its length but it was in reality to big both width and overall weight, length was perfect but to wide and heavy for a small wall tent.

I bought the disc-o-bed bunk beds for my tent. Normally we have two guys in my 12x 12 and they take up the same footprint as single cots but provides each guy with a bottom cot to put clothing, equipment etc., Helps keep the tent organized and stuff off the floor.

Also provides 2 additional beds if needed. Really max out the available space. Expensive compared to single cots but I highly recommend them. Also very sturdy and comfortable fwiw.

Highly recommend the camp time roll-a-cot. Simple and easy to assemble, comfortable, strong, not heavy, stores nice and lots of choices. Made in the USA too.

Another cabelas vote. Mine is going strong after years of occasional use.

Cabelas cots are good. I would recommend the size that is about 30" wide. This is plenty wide to be comfortable, but not so wide to consume too much tent space, like the 40" wide cots.

I have a slumberjack xl that has been great. It's pretty much the same as the cabelas but lighter. The cabelas cot is good too.

Cabela's XL cot and mattress. Really comfortable combo.

Yes the Cabelas xl may take up quite a bit of space, but man is it worth it haha. It’s really nice having the xl cot, xl pad, and the magnum sleeping bag, they are all the same dimensions so nothing hangs off the other. I’m not a big dude, but having a cot that can support 600 pounds or whatever it is, makes sure the material stays tight night after night and doesn’t sag much, it’s good



But with that all said, I have a lot of friends that are about to be fired from Cabelas so it’s kind of hard for me to recommend anything Cabelas and Bass Pro now I guess

Another for roll a cot , a rafting staple.

I have a cabelas XL (a.k.a the air craft carrier), it is big and roomy, i also have a Davis Tent Cot. I like both of them and have used both for several weeks of camping. The Davis is sturdy but weighs a ton! Like 50lbs. It is heavy! The Cabelas works well, but i may have to check out the Roll a Cot because it seems pretty sweet too.

I have a couple of issued cots that I bought at a surplus store. I think I paid $50 for both of them. With an air mat they are comfy enough for the camping i am doing. However, I rarely use them as I use my Helinox cot for 90% of the camping that I do.
