A gear tent is a tent in which you can temporarily store your survival gear and supplies to protect them from the elements. In a survival situation, it is important to keep your gear dry and out of the sun. You will need your gear in top condition to ensure your survival and the survival of anyone with you.

A gear tent allows you to keep your survival gear where it is convenient. You can set the tent up anywhere and store your supplies close to where you are living. This gives you easy access to your supplies and ensure that they will be dry and undamaged by the elements such as precipitation, dust and the sun.




You need to keep your survival gear light so you can carry it easily and travel long distances if necessary. You probably already have a tent for shelter for yourself, so choosing a second tent to house your gear should take some thought. A gear tent should be lightweight so it does not add much weight to your supply bag.

Also make sure that your gear tent is easy and fast to set up. You may need to hurry in survival situations. You will want a tent that you can throw up and take down in just a minute or two. Avoid getting a complicated tent that takes time to learn how to set up.
