Original US Military Pup Tent. The fundamental unit of shelter for the U.S. Military in the field since the Civil War is the two-man pup tent. Soldiers of that time were commonly referred to as "dogs". They wore "dog tags", slept in tents called "dog houses" and that term evolved to "pup tent". Water repellant.
Two shelter halves snapped together create a pup tent that is approximately 9' long x 6' wide x 42" high.
Each pup tent consists of the following:
- 2 genuine US military, OD green, 8.25 oz cotton sateen fabric shelter halves with two rows of snaps along the ridge for fastening together
- 2 wooden pole assemblies (6 or 8 individual sections depending on manufacturer)
- 10 metal stakes/pins
- 2 guy lines
*Due to scarcity of supply, the poles, stakes, and lines may be substituted with European or commercially made equivalents.
