British Mosquito Tent - Setup and Preview





It's Military Surplus Wednesday and Luke has the British Mosquito Tent!



Link : https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/british-mosquito-tent-surplus/24666

Price : $28

Weight : 81.2oz / 5lbs / 2301.9g / 2.3kg

A stand-alone insect net. Meant for British field cots, but nothing stops you from throwing a regular kip mat inside. Modern British army surplus, so we're talking about quality stuff for a low price.

Not much to say - you get the complete set needed to erect this and a personal mosquito net too. Measurements on the ground level about 200 x 70 cm, but at 30 cm about 180 x 60 cm. You can throw this on top of a standard field cot and secure it with the provided velcro straps. Weight for the whole package is 1,8 kg.

Used and intact. Can't promise these are totally free of rips or tears, as we really can't be arsed to check each and every one of them individually. The few we did check were in very nice shape and you'll probably get one like that too.

Free Standing

Zipped Entry

1 Cot Mounted Mosquito Net

2 Sets Of GRP Rod Sections

4 Pins

Travel Bag

2'8" x 6', 3' center height.

Olive Drab color


I think this would make for a really cool and really functional system when combined with a tarp setup.  You would roll a Basha tarp right in with the tent.

Super bright 8 RGB LED USB multi-colored light bulb

· 15 color choices including Cool White

Weight : 3.4oz with remote

•       Multi-Colored: Over 10 different vibrant colors. White included. Special features including strobe, flash, fade and more. Includes a remote with On / Off Buttons. Super Bright 8 LED USB light bulb with 2700K warm / soft white color temperature, 340 lumens, equivalent to a 40W incandescent bulb, 270 degree beam angle provides wide ambient lighting. Use it to illuminate a tent at night or add lighting to backyard patios, outside campers and so much more.

•       USB Powered: Sturdy 7 foot long USB cord with on/off rocker switch, powered by any USB source including any SunJack Fast Charge Battery or SunJack Solar Kit.

•       Highly durable: Shatter, shock and vibration resistant. Great for traveling and emergency preparedness kits where standard glass bulbs might shatter.

•       Use with Other Daisy Chain Bulbs: The Daisy Chain Color Camplight comes with a female USB extension to allow other Daisy Chain bulbs to be added and "chained" together. String up to 3 bulbs for best efficiency.

Convenient, Safe and Environmentally Friendly - fraction of the weight and size of traditional camping lanterns. The SunJack Camplight takes up less room and adds less weight to any packing or travel bags. No fluorescent gases. No glass bulb. The bulb remains cool to the touch.

Very battery efficient.  With a good quality 10,000mah battery bank you can easily get 6-8 hours of light.

Very long cords, easy to daisy chain them together.

1 remote can direct up to three lights together and independently.

Very good amount of light.

Cons :

Doesn’t seem to be 340 lumens bright.  $250 maybe.
