Well done! I'm amazed how many reviewers on other sites couldn't figure out how to get that last end bar on, and this solution is so simple. And this is such an economical cot!
I spent almost 15 minutes wrestling the last bar the other day while camping. I just sent it up using your tip in my living room in less than a couple minutes and took a quick power nap haha. Awesome tip.
Thanks Jason, just bought two. One for me and my daughter who just started shooting trad. I had to laugh. Now im forgetting if its this video or the coleman 3 but you said that back packing in and 3 or 4 days. Im 53 in good shape, and unless im doing a fly in them days are over for me as well. Thanks for the video and the link.
Great demo! I have been looking for a cot and your demonstration was the best I have seen. I am familiar with Coleman products. I think this is the cot for me. Thanks!
I love this cot. Excellent sleeping. But heavy. You can’t carry it far. But for car camping in campgrounds and state parks it can’t be beat. I’m a side sleeper and it’s plenty wide for me.
I have two of these and you can’t beat them for the price. My only complaint is that I wish they were slightly longer because I can’t keep a pillow on the cot. But it beats being on the ground plus the other benefit is their height off the ground gives you a lot of storage underneath the cot which opens up floor space in your tent.
The disco beds are the best cots I have ever used. But they are heavy and take longer to set up than my tent does.and yep, they are about 140 bucks each (bought as 2 for 280). This cot is so fast to set up, very compact to travel with, and very sturdy and comfortable. the prices is amazing as well. Im loving it. Will never sell my disco bed cots as they will be used in my wall tent on week long or longer hunts. But for speed on the 2-4 days hunts this cot is perfect!
Thanks Jason. I know in previous videos you mention you set up different (ladder?) stands for your daughter and wife... was wondering if you would do some ladder stand reviews
I dont use them often enough or too many models to give a good review. I buy the cheap 60 dollar ones. But I do have a great video on how to hang ladder stands safety.
Where can I find a canvas replacement? Iʻve had mine for over 10 years and now itʻs time to get it replaced. I hate to have to throw it out just because of the fabric.
Had the cot for two seasons ended up getting rid of it, to heavy and bulky to set up and take down. The foot trick works when inside, but try doing it out side in the rain. Went with ozark trails low profile cot, easy quick set, much lighter far better cot.
Glad you found something you like. I love these cots. Have about 60 night on them so far. Love them. And I do set them up in the rain outside. No different than doing it indoors. Actually other than this video demonstration it's always do e outdoors.
Maybe a big strong man can assemble the second crossbar but I’m a smaller senior woman and it’s not happening. I tried doing the foot technique you showed. Nope. Guess it goes back to Amazon tomorrow! Shame, cuz it seems really nice n strong too.
Sorry to hear it didnt work well for you even with the foot method. Colman also makes some cots that expand on metal cross legs like a camp chair does and its suppose to be a great got as well.
And handy around the house. Have 2 girls sleeping on these last night as my daughter had friends over for her birthday. Such an handy cot and very durable and comfortable
I just picked this one up for $15 off marketplace. Brand new. The guy couldn’t get both bars on. This one has a reputation for being hard to get the second bar on. I’m hoping the fabric will stretch after spending a few nights on it.
That foot trick with the sliding bar is so simple yet Genuis. I'm a single mom who camps with my 5 yr old and this just made my Day!!
Awesome. Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for this big tip. just bought the Coleman Cot for camping and saw that the bars are tricky. 👍
The step method sure does make them easy to srt up
That trick to put in the last pole saved my camping trip lol thank you so much
Hahaha! Glad the tip helped! Sure does make setting up and taking down thw cot much eaiser.
Well done! I'm amazed how many reviewers on other sites couldn't figure out how to get that last end bar on, and this solution is so simple. And this is such an economical cot!
Yep the foot trick sure does make life easy with military style cots
I spent almost 15 minutes wrestling the last bar the other day while camping. I just sent it up using your tip in my living room in less than a couple minutes and took a quick power nap haha. Awesome tip.
Glad the new method work great for you
The foot hack was amazing. Thanks so much for the thorough review.
Glad you enjoyed it

@@monte4150 agree 100! Comfort matters more to me than weight. I want to sleep like a baby
Great demo! I have been looking for a cot and your demonstration was the best I have seen. I am familiar with Coleman products. I think this is the cot for me. Thanks!
I think you will be very happy. We have about 30 nights on these now and they are great.
Great demo. Your tip on the end bars is simply the best....
Thanks! Glad you liked it
Thank you for the excellent presentation and demonstration, very easy solution to a sleep problem I'm wrestling with. I'm getting one!
You will love it. Works great and is comfortable
Hello, I have that exact cot. I struggle like you showed. I will have to try your method.
You will be very happy.
I love this cot. Excellent sleeping. But heavy. You can’t carry it far. But for car camping in campgrounds and state parks it can’t be beat. I’m a side sleeper and it’s plenty wide for me.
Yeo especially for the money. Great proven cot design for a great price. I'm actually using it right now on a out of state hunt
@@SamkoTradBow : I used it 2 weeks ago on a hunt for the first time. I will never go back to air mattress camping

Yep love these cots!
Nice looking cot. I was actually searching for cots but didn't hear about that one. Will check it out for sure. Thanks for posting.
8 nights on it so far. Super fast and easy, great price, and very strong and comfortable.
This is all I needed it. Buying it now. Thank you!
You will love it. Great cot
Ooh. Had my eye on that for a while. May go pick up a couple. Disco-bed just too expensive for me.

what do you use for a mat on top of that?
In the warm weather I dont use a mat. In cold weather I use a thin Walmart pad that's like 12 dollars. Works great
Great trick. Works perfect.
Glad you enjoyed it
How much do you weigh, how is the cot holding up after a year, & how many times have you used it since you bought it? Yjx
I weight 175 and have used the cot about 4 dozen nights. Works great and as perfect as the day I bought it
@@SamkoTradBow thx
Nice video...does the head and foot bars bother you while sleeping?
no. Im only 5'6" (5'7" with cool shoes) so I never get anywhere near the bars!!!
Traditional Bowhunting And Wilderness Podcast thanks
Where can I find a canvas replacement? Iʻve had mine for over 10 years and now itʻs time to get it replaced. I hate to have to throw it out just because of the fabric.
Good question. I don't have an answer for. I would send an email to Coleman. Bet they will send you one very affordabily
Thank you!
Welcome
Very helpful. 😊
Glad you enjoyed it
Good review / Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
BEST VIDEO!
Thanks
What's the weight cap on that
Don't remember. Have to look at the specs on the link below the video.
I believe 300 pounds
Thxs

Glad you enjoyed it

Thank you

Wow- I been cranking it by hand like a dummy (it’s very difficult every time)
The step method is quick and easy
Good video

This is the cot im talking about that you might like better. amzn.to/2L15hZA
Same here! I'm 41 and even with his method I can't get it to consistently go in.
Is this cot the exact same as the military-issue one?
Don't know. Do not have the military one to compare it to.
Nice cot for hunting trips. Wont brake the bank either
And handy around the house. Have 2 girls sleeping on these last night as my daughter had friends over for her birthday. Such an handy cot and very durable and comfortable
Yeah there 60$ now. Was looking to get one a few months back I swear they were like 35$
They were 35 when I made the video
15 minutes for a COT? That's the time I use to install a King bed, WITH mattress!
Thanks for watching

In the video I show you an easy way to set it up and not struggle with the bars. You will be very happy with this cot
