OneTigris Tent Camping Cot :
Agenda Free Link : www.onetigris.com/foldable-ca...
Price : $160
Colors : Coyote and Black
Measurements :
Materials :
420D Oxford Fabric
7075 Alumunym Alloy
Weight : 8.5lbs
Weight Capacity : 330
Impressions so far :
Quality seems to be excellent
Adjustable height
Very tight laying platform
Side Pockets good size
Storage bag is of a good size
Weight isn’t bad considering the size of this cot. Some cots that are comparable in size are rather heavy with some being over 20lbs. The weight of this cot is virtually the same as the Alps Mountaineering cot that I like so much but this is substantially more adjustable.
Negatives
Setup process is lengthy - it takes time and also some muscle. I have an injured arm and find the setup to be difficult.
Large form factor
Not a unique design - when I saw that OT had brought a cot to the market, I was thinking that the design looked familiar; other companies offer the same product and they are less expensive. In some cases, around $50 less expensive but I will admit, the OneTigris version looks better. Aterpa is one such brands. If weight is important, this brand may be something that you want to check out as it features a different top fabric which is just as strong but is a few pounds lighter.
In a world of copycat products it is a bit disappointing to see that nothing new has been done here with this cot design but with that being said, what is present is makes makes a good quality cot.
This cot is going into testing now and I will be sharing my thoughts and experiences in the future along with adventures with this product.

Looks like a pretty solid product. 9lbs though is a hell of a lot to carry for a backpacking trip though. It looks like it'd be best for overland trips or if you had some kind of hunting cabin. Something tucked away in the woods with just four walls and a roof.
No way would I ever bring this more than 30ft from the truck
I have a SAIL brand cot and it weights a ton. Strictly for car camping imo.
Lol I have giant gander mountain that weighs exactly 35 pounds! I'd leave it in that situation^^ if I could bring it in by quad, snow machine or boat but humping it? No
@@intractablemaskvpmGy that’s close to the weight of the military surplus French all steel folding cot I have. Mine is closer to 38+ pounds due to the fact that it came with a bug net that has a zippered door and a floor with shock corded poles. The polls are actually the same size length and diameter as the polls on my US Marine surplus one man LiteFighter tent. Seems like old military surplus is super heavy. Usually bombproof, but it sure is a work out. No need for a gym when you have military weight items.
you couls save some weight buy not carrying the legs. But it more for car campers than backpackers
1. To assemble your bed, first put the side you will be sleeping on face down in the mud. 2. Should you break that tensioning mechanism at the start of your trip, sleep on the ground and contact Customer Services on your return.
My mom thoughts exactly. This a stupid design.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Now THAT was damn FUNNY!
You don't sleep in a tent?
@@stillnocouchI have the same design on my cot (Helinox) and have had over 100 setups with no problems. Excellent quality, very sturdy. I'm planning on buying another cot and I have been looking at less expensive brands. This one and Naturehike have my attention.
I have a similar cot made by woods. It has 3 supports and only available in the lower position with no extra legs. It's around 4lbs. I use it alot for canoe camping or hot tent camping. I like how comfortable it is for me and I usually get a good night sleep on it. Thanks for the video 👍🏻
Love your reviews, upon watching this video on the carrying bag the extra strap is to hang the carrying bag at the head or foot of the cot for extra storage of gear. This cot is pretty cool and would work great even in storm shelters/ bunkers, you'd still have your space but have them handy in a overnight emergency.
bought it based on this review and super happy with purchase. its as firm as u said. it requires as much muscle as u said it would to snap the frame into place. your entire assessment was spot on, thanks
Awesome work Luke, we'll be on the lookout for the full tested review! 😎
Just bought my third cot from this company. This is the exact one I bought. Your review is what was deciding factor.
Cudos on an exceptionally thorough review of this cot. I just purchased a Springbar Compact canvas tent (6'x8'x52") for car camping and I've been searching high and low for just the right cot for my tent. I want a height that's tall enough that it's easy to get up off of, yet low enough to give me at least 1" of head room in a sitting position (from seat to top of my head is 35"). The other factor is ease of assembly. Although this cot has a lot of parts to assemble, it looks doable. I'm especially glad that you took time to show how the lever bars work. I might have a bit of struggle with that step, but I think I can do it (I'm a 71 year old single woman). And lastly, thanks for pointing out the less expensive competitor models, though I suspect the lighter fabric might be susceptible to tearing away from the seams if that's what makes their cots lighter.
I would have to say I would worry about the plastic tensioning clip to be not so reliable after a few dozen set ups.
I’m a 68 yr old lady who loves watching your videos. You take me on journeys and teach me things and show me things I have never seen or will ever see in my life time. I am fascinated by the beauty you show us and how to appreciate your surroundings. You truly are a warm and personable person and I can tell you have a kind soul. It’s nice seeing you and Susie together and the love and caring between you both. You show me and all of us there is still goodness in this world. When I sit and watch several of your videos at a time I am happy and feel like I have gone on that journey with you. I just wanted to say thank you for sharing so much and for adding a smile to my life. May God bless Susie, Maddie and Lukie (Lucas) and you. Thank you Luke. You are truly a blessing. 🙏
Just another awesomely put together demo/review video 💡🎓👍. You're channel is greatly, greatly, greatly appreciated 🙏😊.
Excellent video. I'm looking forward to the full review, which will serve to let me know what to look for in comparison to competitors. As a result of severe arthritis, I cannot sleep on a low cot or the ground. Getting up takes a great deal of effort.
Cots have come a long way since the WWII Army cots I grew up camping with as a child ! Those cots even served double duty as extra beds when we had neighborhood kids sleep over!
I'm in the market for a camping cot. Your channel is one of the first places I go for reviews. I just watched your Go-Kot video. What a great video. Watching you put together this cot is painful after seeing how easy the Go-Kot is assembled.
I love mine, i have two i lend out to buddies one in each color. Really stable, light, love the molle loops and storage, easy to adjust the height
I have just purchased a Kodiak Canvas truck tent for my Taco. I am 6'2" and pushing the limits of the truck bed but need a cot that will also fit the bed. Plus at 265 lbs I need one that can hold me without collapsing. Maybe just an air mattress. I will see.
Thanks for your review. Stay safe and God bless.
Looks good. I enjoy the reviews, so many products out there these days.
Thank you
I bought one from Walmart for 41 bucks and it generally has the exact same cot design only without the locking leg lever. Just used it this weekend and was so much better than the ground. Mine did not have the extended legs though.
Just bought one & awaiting delivery. With delivery in Canada & Can $'s it cost me about $250 Can. I have a couple of their backwoods bungalose & have been impressed with their quality. Stay safe & thanks Brian 81
Hi from Syracuse NY brother and thank you for sharing your thoughts and adventures and your family
Thanks for this review - I was about to buy a cot bed and this really helped. I bought a cheaper version of the OneTigris one you reviewed.
I just started looking into these for the winter desert camp season👍
Thats a really nice cot! Be nice to try but, my old wore out butt would have to be elevated! You make me miss hike & camp so much! I'd definately try it though. Appreciate the video and your dedication for us, your fans!
Can't wait for a full review!
Hmmm. Looking forward to your review. Thanks!
Hi Luke, thank you 👊stay safe, be well my friend 👊 Strength and Honor 🇺🇲 👍
Cool Video 👍
Thank U for the Info and the Links 👍
Will buy it...
Hey, Luke: THANKS for the shout-out! Up to a few years ago, I used an Army-style version of this cot that featured scissor legs and two spreader bars. It was always a hassle to get the last spreader into the last hole in the last rail end. This OneTigris unit at least has some leverage working for it in the stretch. I LIKE the high/low leg option. My RUclips channel buddy, Boonedockery, took the Army version cot out and mounted a Lightfighter 1 tent on top for an overnighter. So far, that is proving to be a comfortable combination. I bet a suitable OneTigris tent would do fine on this new cot!
I am wondering if the Litefighter would work with this cot.
@@hobierupe1635: Check out RUclipsr, Boonedockery. He shows how the standard Army version of this cot works with a Lightfighter. They look to be similar in dimensions.
I really like this cot, especially being able to have legs or not. I like having the height with the legs on, since you can store items underneath and save space. The issue for me would be if I have the strength to tension the frame sections.
Very helpful video. Thank you very very much. You’ve helped me narrow the field.
Look forward to a full review!
Great product……..and only took 3 hours to setup 👍
Thank you for the info on this cot
thank you fo the detailed review!
You've given me a lot to think about. Great info.
seems very decent, will be great for winter camping in hot tent. looking forward to the review
This looks like a great product! I really like the design and the versatility it offers. You make clear and understandable instructional videos, my friend. I’d buy one!
Very good review, thanks Luke
Looks good. I'll wait for your full review before I buy.
OOOOH! That and a Tarp! Warm large pad, quilt top. Done!
Nice cot for tent. Heavy at 8lbs if carring very far. Looks well built. Thanks for video.
Thanks for the info. Be kind to each other. Stay safe. Love to all
Amazing great set up
Another great and honest video.
I would like to know two important things and one just out of curiosity type thing. If you leave the legs behind, what does the rig weight? If you weight less than the maximum, can you use the cot with just 8 legs instead of 16, to save weight, but still get the advantages of extra height? How would this cot hold up, in your opinion, if you don't want to do an actual test, as an emergency stretcher or litter? The stresses would be distributed differently in that role.
Something to consider, would be... How well the fabric holds up after the abuse of camping... ( Rain, Dust Dirt, abrasive movement's in and around a campsite that might cause the fabric to deteriorate over time ) and since they use one of the strongest blends of aluminum ( 70-75 ) how do the plastic housing hold up. This might be the determining factor when comparing items that appear similar... and as some have stated, does it work better when trying to save weight, just to leave the additional poles behind and use it in the short configuration...?
Also seen the same design with weight less except for 2 things : i didn't see 4 legs but 3 elsewhere and no molle attachment
Would love to get one of these. Looks great.
I like to use the cot "without" the leg extensions, which helps me to get out of the cot and reload my titanium stove easier. One problem I'm encountering is that the cot is very tippy when sitting on the edge. I wish they would add supports along the long edges to prevent overturning. I wonder if others have the same experience with an🙃 overturning issue.
And yes, it's very fiddly to assemble but I like it because of it's compact storage size and it's very light weight.
🙃
go back in time to Dessert Storm,I was working for a company that sold a truck load of that cot style to the military for around 30,00 each.Yes it was a canvas and that was better than 20 years ago. material and it was a total or 9 lbs. it was a sretecher cot
I have the Naturehike version (lighter, as it's aping the Helinox one). It's a bastard to put together, but sans leg extenders it goes fantastically to still keep me off the ground in my little storm tent, & with them attached, it makes a fantastic spare to my own stretcher-bed for if I've taken a friend camping with me, in my 6-man.
Do you usually have car camping or walking camping?
I like this and for any other use it is what I would go for. But I want a backpacking cot. So far the Helinox lite cot is the front runner.
I am going to get one for sure
With all do respect to you and your Chanel. I like what you do and your content. Products made in China again! I’m going to go out on a limb though and ask for more quality products made some where else. I would really like to see maybe more gear from the USA. thanks for what you do!
I like the color. I'm absolutely certain it is much easier to set up than military cots with the square aluminum frame‼️
I’ve been looking for a cot with a low profile that will fit in my F150 pickup. This looks like it might work. Hopefully it is not too long. I’m 5’9”. I believe the bet of my truck is 6’, but I’m going to double check.
The cot looks quite sturdy and with a bad back this is exactly what I need.
Thank you as always Luke. I can always depend on your reviews.
I have already purchased the Haven Ridge lights which I absolutely love and the latest purchase is the Helikon chest pack which I wasn’t sure about since I am female but it’s great.
So again thank you so much for your great videos and reviews-
That would be one of my applications as well. How did you make out? Do you prefer legs on or off?
Short bed is ~67" long which is 5' 7" with tailgate closed.
G'day Luke, lotta faffing about to deploy and even with the pads, I can see those leg holes filling with dirt if not on a ground sheet or tent floor.
I do like the webbing on the side rails, very nice touch.
Ultimately, not sure how it fits in he scheme of things i.e. surely one wouldn't pack carry this @ nearly 4 kilograms, and for car camping, pack down size, weight doesn't matter........I use a bigger, beefier camping store cot that deploys in under a minute. No plastic clips in sight, all 1 1/2 in. - ish box tube construction and comes out at seat height, which incidentally provides storage space underneath. I paid around 80 AUD on sale a few years back, though in fairness, similar are 110 - 170 AUD now.
Cheers Duke.
unless you drive something like a miata......and there is two of you going
I did a short review on the Hardgear cot which is half the price of this cot. I will be doing an evaluation of it in June.
Thank for that info.
Great timing, I'm looking for a new cot
New to your channel
Good review mate
I like it, well-made and stable. Did you say it was waterproof or not? Thanks for the video Luke.
I look forward to a video using this cot with the light fighter one tent
Get the REI Kingdom 3 cot...it doubles as a reclining chair which this cot can't do, and is ultimately comfortable sleeping on it. Sure it weighs twice as much as this cot but for car camping you can't beat it.
Thank you 👍.
Very nice product
Recommendation please. Had a Moon lance & broke/bent frame legs after 10 times using it - boo! loved it because of size, item weight and the 400lbs capacity to be safe, but i think from having to sit on edge as i get up bent it. I'm 6'1" 260. cot said supports up to 400lbs - nope! . size of moon lance 74.8 x 27.6 x 7.8 in, & weight 7lbs. assembled similar to this one, but without the extra leg extensions. Im looking for similar size 72-76" long, 25-30" wide, under 10lbs if possible, but ok up to 15lbs. Easy to carry bec sometimes im caring gear from car to campsite (mainly scout sites, so not far, but, .AND of course im not jumping on it, but i dont want to worry about how i sit/get up & if it will bend the legs. thanks for any recommendation!!
Like the cot but not the price got back from linville falls NC and would love to have a cot over a sleeping pad. Would be a great option for car camping but at that price it's hard for me to justify the cost. Great review thanks for the information outstanding job.
..good one, keep safe..
Looks pretty well built and durable. The locking mechanism is pretty smart, that's one thing I've always found to be a bit of a hassle with my Decathlon cot with solid frame bows. It works, but it means you have to put some serious tension on it to get the free end in.
What is the weight of it when you're not using the legs?
Thank you for this video. I just received mine, but I can't get the bars to stay in place, and canvas is not stretched when done attaching all the bars. Do not hear a clicking when I put the first part of the bars on. Also, are the middle bars supposed to go on top of where the long bars meet. What am I doing wrong? If you can help..would love to keep, it's a really nice concept. I thank you for any help you can provide.
⚠ Pinch point warning. Those tension levers on the cross members could injure if you happen to get a finger or some skin in the way.
Holy cow.
Also, a meteorite could possibly fall out of the sky and injure or even kill you.
Another great review Luke thank you, I do like many of the OneTigris items, unfortunately for me I'm somewhat taller and bigger than most at 6'4 and at 320 lbs, i find most manufacturers fail to offer an XL range within their product range to cater for the Taller / wider or heavier persons. It is a shame and wish they would offer 2 size options, one for people under 6ft and then another for people upto say 7ft. then we as consumers have OPTIONS. I have found similar issues when selecting tents that have enough length to cater for taller people. Thanks Luke... Always appreciated.
Teton sports has the perfect cot for you , Iam a big guy and have the Teton xxl cot and pad and the deer hunter sleeping bag and the 10x14 Mesa canvas tent , all are excellent products
@@odgreenoutdoors20 , Thank you for taking the time to reply, I will check out all your recommendations and give them a good look over - much appreciated - thank you.
@@odgreenoutdoors20 my thoughts exactly 👍
Helinox cot max, get the original
@@TimothyHWZ $500+
I have a similar designed cot but it doesn't have the additional legs to extend the height but uses a couple more cross braces. Not a problem as I prefer the low height. Mine also weighs much less - about 3.5 lbs and takes much less volume. Not sure about the price but I probably paid about $140 CDN. I've got a full size Cabelas cot if I wanted to car camp that is longer and wider (and heavier, bulkier to boot).
I see one in my future , one good option would be swivel flat feet for legs , that can be purchased separately
I have been using a Coleman Cot- but always looking for other options
Thanks!
I like that you can put the legs on or leave it low.
I wonder if the weight versus others isn’t the material thickness of the frame? A 2lb difference, that would make sense!
I would have killed for something like that when I was in the Army! I always got stuck with the wood cots that were a pain to set up when you were tired. I slept alot of nights with one end loose because I was too tired to wrestle that end bar into place!!
Im not sure how i feel about the frame being detatchable in that manner. Are those half moon connectors deep enough to manage the inevitable stretch from the canvas over time? Not that im asking you specificly, but thats my train of thought with this cot.
The comparison would be my military cot, yeah its large and bulky, but as the canvas stretches with age and use, i dont have to worry about sitting or laying on it and ending up on the ground because it has stretched past the frame retention point.
Very nice!
Cots are great for car camping. Weight not a factor normally. However it would be of interest to know weight without height extension poles. Something else to consider is the height without the poles and the length. I’m thinking this pairs and compliments the One Tigris Smokey Hut. Other cots on the market have to be pulled closer to the center pole of the Smokey Hut Tipi. Which reduces the footprint of that tent.
PS The weight of 330 lbs is a nice addition for us bigger guys. Not many cots or chairs that accommodate the larger man.
Thanks and God’s blessings Luke.
I think at one end it should have a cross bar that rotates up with two small bars holding a strip of sake fabric. Thats acts as a small head board to stop your pillow sliding off the end.
whats the weight minus the legs? that may make it a bit easier to carry if you were looking to hike it in. For me though cots are great but just for car camping
Reminds me of the helinox cot. Essentially the same set up.
You should check out the teton xxl cot with the pad kind of heavy but I love mine
When you do the review, show the cot set up in a truck or SUV or Van or all three. I like the low profile and wonder if it would be too long to fit in my 4-runner with the seats down. I’m going to go measure it now.
If you're going to sleep inside an SUV why not just use an air mattress? It will provide more headroom in the tight space.
@@efromhb I’ve been using a sleeping pad with sleeping bag. Just wondered if the cot might be more comfortable.
Interested in your results, also running a 4runner with sleeping pad/bag and seats down. A cot would give me a good spot to store my gun. I have plenty of wasted vertical space.
A 4runner with the back two seats folded down you can get a queen size air mattress in easy i used one in my 07 4runner and also in my 2010 which has more room
@@efromhb
I use a cot in the back of my SUV mainly for the air flow.
Cars get stuffy in warmer months regardless of what you do. Being slightly elevated helps I’ve found.
The 26 inch width is the deal breaker for me. Unless I'm sleeping with my arms folder on top of me like a coffin, they droop off the sides making my arms fall asleep.
The feet also stress the floor of nylon tents.
Hello. I was wondering if you could start putting metric dimensions on the screen. Same way that weight is on the screen with grams or kilograms. Thanks!
Hello, and finally did the review (announced in the video) on this product come out?
GREAT JOB!! I personally would choose a cheaper cot. If your going to pay 50 bucks more for the exact same cot, why? Thanks Luke!🥰
The low version would be good for me in my North Face Stormbreak 2.
I have an improvement, actually lots of them in my homebuilt one!
I have a similar cot for motorcycle camping. I mean, also a bit more off the ground than your average cot, and also with a similar tightening technology. Also, it can carry up to 250 kgs, which I much prefer. And its about 10 cm wider, with straps to hold a camping mat in place. It has not those loops at the sides though... Weight of this cot is 4 kgs, which is not bad IMO. I took a look at a version of this and decided to go for that other, slightly more expensive version. By adding a carp tent to it, I turned it into a one person tent. Really tight in there though...no space for shenanigans.
If it's not a secret, what bed did you choose in the end?
It would be nice with the litefighter 1 on it…I just got the litefighter1 with the cot and the cot is very heavy.
I know some mentioned 9 lbs being kinda weighty....but a cot that can be carried on a back pack that is more mobile than my fold up cot is score!
Luke, I am looking at these and all of the other variants now, what is causing me to shy away a bit are the connections - Are they plastic? Seemingly there are just too many failure points with all of the plastic connections, most plastics aren't really known for holding up well for repeated stress functions. Thoughts?
It's a good idea of a camping coat
Luke what is the weight without the legs? Would it be light enough for backpacking?
Do you recommend this cot for for the iron wall hot tent or the Go-Kot?
#PossibleConfiguration ; It looks you can fit the tall standing cot version over the a truck bed's wheel well / hump by removing the one side's middle legs.
