The Practical Woodsman
Education • Travel • Preparedness
The Practical Woodsman is a way to share love of the wilderness, as well as my observations, thinking, and approach to what folks today are calling 'bushcraft' and 'survival'. The focus is on what is practical, as well as pointing out certain things being demonstrated by 'bushcrafters' today that are not practical at all.

‘Night Cat’ Tents

Night Cat is a super-budget brand of tent that you can find on Amazon. When I say, “super-budget”, I mean dirt cheap - like as low as $40 dirt cheap. But I have several of them that Amazon sent me to review, and they really are not bad at all. They have interesting designs and are full featured. Of course, it would be prudent for anybody buying one of these tents to do your own thorough waterproofing on the seems as well as spraying the surface.

Here is one particular tent by Night Cat that has the pole structure on the outside, I think it’s pretty clever. The rain fly and the inner net mesh is separated, but pitches all together. Pretty nifty.
