That's my cot! Well, mine is all metal! But I love that cot! Adjustable springs, crossbars on the ground... with a Thermarest on it I have the most comfortable bed that is possible.

If anyone knows where to get one of these I really would appreciate hearing about it. Mine is pretty well worn out.

There are no top crossbars, head or foot. I don't mind the one at the head (the pillow goes there anyway)but the foot bar on the army jobs kills my knees. My feet are pushed too high for my knees to touch the mattress. And it doesn't have legs that sink into the ground or kill your tent floor.

And the adjustable spring tension is a great thing. It allows compensation for cloth stretch with age.

It packs 38" long and 5" across. Weighs 13 pounds, so certainly not for backpacking (unless horses or llamas are involved.

But the stickers and paperwork are long gone... Can anyone tell me where I can find another??
