Teton Sports Adventurer Camp Cot

I prefer to primitive camp and I typically camp wherever I am when it starts getting dark. For 16 years I lived in Utah and camped in the back of my pickup, an average of two nights a week for all those years, on an air mattress and a tarp over a PVC frame over the bed of my truck. I've camped comfortably in all kinds of weather with that setup. The air mattresses seem to start leaking air after about two or three uses and that was always a problem. I'm in Florida now and since it is winter, the perfect time to camp in Florida, I have been camping out again. Instead of an air mattress, I tried using two layers of 2" memory foam but I still feel the steel bed of my pickup and It is very uncomfortable. I decided to look for a cot and I found Teton Sports Outfitter XXL camping cot. I'm a big guy and this looked perfect. The price looked a little bit high but not out of reason. I ordered the cot and when I set it up, I was amazed at just how big it is! I'm 6'3" tall and 300+ pounds. The cot is 40" wide and sits 19" above the ground. It is long enough that my head and my feet don't hang off either end. It fits in the bed of my Ford F-150 with the tailgate down with about 6 or 8 inches to spare. It fills up most of the bed of my truck but does give me some room on the side to get in and out of the cot. I am always armed when I camp which I think, and hope, most people are. Some people were running their dogs about midnight, probably hunting deer and I heard some gunshots in the Ocala National Forest after I had gone to bed so I laid my AR-15 on one side of the cot and still had plenty of room to get a good night's sleep. I've had back problems for almost 40 years and I don't sleep well anywhere but I got a pretty good night's sleep on the cot and I think it would be very comfortable for most big people. I bought a 3" memory foam topper with a zippered cover for a twin XXL bed and it fit the cot perfectly. What did I not like about the Teton Sports Outfitter XXL Camping Cot? This morning when I got ready to fold the cot up, the top and bottom rails have plastic end caps. Two of those caps had come out. I found one and popped it back in but was unable to locate the second end cap, even in the white sand that surrounded my pickup at my camping spot. I contacted Teton Sports by email and I left a phone message. We'll see how they respond but if their response is anything like the quality of this cot, I'm sure they'll get a new plastic end cap to me in the mail soon. The only other thing that I had difficulty with was putting the cot into the bag that it comes equipped with. The bag is a great idea since I carry the cot in the back of my pickup over the highway and very rough four wheel drive roads to get my camping spots. If the bag was one inch longer, it would sure make inserting the cot much easier. The small red lever that helps get the top rail in place is a nifty little addition. Overall, this is a GREAT cot and worth every penny I spent on it and I highly recommend it. I will be spending lots of time camping on it and I'm sure this cot will outlive me. I will purchase the rifle sleeve and accessories sleeve that fit on each side of the cot. We will also be using the cot for our three year old grandson when he is sleeping over. GREAT JOB TETON SPORTS!!!

Perfecto!!He tenido catres plegables SwissArmy, Coleman igual de buenos.El tamaño es muy bueno, pero así se pidió (también está en tamaño estándar).Lo q es extraordinario, es el pivote rojo para facilitar el armado. Después de años batallando al armar el último (4to) enganche, nunca me imagine lo sencillo q es con el pivote rojo q agregaron a la estructura. 👌No olviden NO sentarse en los largueros del marco entre las patas de los extremos y las centrales. No está diseñado para eso, Y SE PUEDE DOBLAR. En una temporada de cacería vi eso con un catre (no recuerdo la marca). 👍

The cot is wide which is nice, but it's a pain to set up and hard to move once you have without it just popping apart. I got the version with the pivot arm which makes it a little easier, but most cots just unfold. The canvas on the cot stretched out after the first use so it's not flat anymore.I'm 5'8" and find the cot a little high for me and hard to get out of because of that. For someone a few inches taller it'd be a good fit.The main problem I found was that after 4 uses it popped a screw and the support arm during set up.I managed to save my trip by putting a tent stake through it to support me but found all the bolts were loose so be sure to tighten them up before they pop out and you loose them.Customer support wants a lot of pics and such to send out a replacement screw. Kind of difficult for anyone in a small apartment to manage. I'll probably just buy one at the hardware store and save myself the effort.

I bought three Coleman cots and they are terrible to put up. I bought one of these and it goes up very easily. This is our second camping season using them. We stay a week at a time. No sagging. Sturdy enough for a 300lb person. It isn’t wide but it was surprisingly comfortable. I did put a small thermarest mattress on top

We loved our Teton Cot so much we bought 2 of them! These are without a doubt the best cots we have ever used. I love mine so much that I am using it as my primary bed as well as for camping trips. Got rid of my former bed and now have more comfortable nights and no more back pain! We use a 2 inch foam pad on top of each cot and are very happy with our camping comfort now. No more stiffness in the mornings. Highly recommended!
