The British army didn't go for it, but a great many other folks did mainly due to the fact that the tent sets up quickly and is very resistant to wind. We make this tent in a number of sizes and your choice of overlapping slit door or snow tunnel entrance. For more usable floor space we also make this basic design with two foot walls.
Walls do add to the erection time and take up a but more ground space.
The tent can be reefed to the eaves in an emergency setup situation with the roof guy loops serving as stake loops. The smaller interior can now go up faster and heat more efficiently. An adjustable pole is suggested.
