French Desert Tent | Unissued Two-Person Army Pup Tent
The French Desert Tent is a complete two-person military shelter that packs into an approximately 27 x 12-inch bag and weighs about six pounds. Made for the French Army and offered in unissued surplus condition, it is a useful choice for campers who value compact equipment, straightforward setup, and documented field provenance.
The rubberized nylon tent combines a waterproof floor with water-repellent walls and roof. Screened door flaps and four screened vents provide airflow while helping keep insects outside. Once pitched, the pup-tent format gives two adults a practical sleeping space; once struck, the entire system returns to the included carry bag for vehicle, cabin, or camp storage.
This is a full kit rather than a bare tent body. Poles, stakes, ropes, and the carry bag are included, so the essential pitching components stay together. As with any stored field shelter, inspect the fabric and hardware before a trip and never pack it away damp.
