aardwolfe,<br><br>My tube tent is the Tacoma Mountain Rescue Unit tent. It is 80 x 96 inches and weighs 5 oz. It is folded into 12 x 15 x 1 cm plastic pouch. <br><br>It is not particularily sturdy for long term use, but should suffice for a day or two while more substantial shelters can be improvised.<br><br>I carry it inside of a boiled wool, goofy-looking, Austrian ski hat, in the back pocket of my vest. I also have a hank of paracord (~5m) in the back pocket.<br><br>The tube shelter is available from REI for about $6. Here is the Tacoma Mountain Rescue Site
