The Pup Like Tent combines the charm of traditional camping with modern versatility. This innovative tent offers four different configurations, making it adaptable for various outdoor adventures. Its design is inspired by the classic pup tent, enhanced with contemporary features for today’s camper.
Canvo™ is a mix of cotton and polyester. Compared to polyester, Canvo™ provides a superior camping experience. The material breathes so the tent does not become humid, it’s quieter in the wind, and it’s more durable. Canvo™ is commonly used for tents in Europe and Japan. It is used less commonly in North America due to the cost. In an effort to introduce Canvo™ tents to the North American market, DOD is offering our line of Canvo™ tents at prices competitive to polyester tents. You can learn more about Canvo™ tents here.

Polycotton tents provide a more comfortable camping experience. They breathe to release humidity and insulate to keep in warmth. Polycotton tents are also durable, have a more natural hand feel, and are quiet in the wind. DOD uses polycotton that is 60-70% polyester, 30-40% cotton.
As a mix of synthetic and natural fiber - polycotton possesses the best characteristics of both. Synthetic tents don’t breathe, so they become humid when occupied overnight. And synthetic fabrics tear and melt more easily than natural fabrics. Synthetics have almost no ability to hold warmth. At the other end of the spectrum, all-cotton tents are comfortable, durable, and hold warmth but they are heavy and bulky. They also require treatment to achieve waterproofness. Polycotton tents are comfortable, durable, waterproof, and hold warmth without being heavy and bulky.
Polycotton tarps offer a more comfortable camping experience. They breathe to allow air circulation and are durable, have a more natural hand feel, and are quiet in the wind. DOD uses polycotton composed of 60-70% polyester and 30-40% cotton.
As a blend of synthetic and natural fibers, polycotton combines the best characteristics of both materials. Synthetic fabrics are prone to tearing and melting more easily than natural ones. On the other hand, all-cotton tarps, while durable and quiet, are heavy, bulky, and require regular treatment to maintain waterproofness. Polycotton tarps provide comfort, durability, waterproof qualities, and quietness without the bulkiness or heaviness.
This tent is a great design for a solo camper and is a quality made product. The tent has features that are not really apparent in the website description - bathtub floor, vents in the sleeping area that can be left open even if the door and windows need to be closed, a gear pocket in the 'loafing' area, loops and toggles to tie back window and door coverings and side curtains, heavy duty (and rigid) poles and strong stakes. It's easy to pitch and fits back in its bag easily. All stitching is perfect and the zippers work flawlessly. It's a luxury tent for a solo camper and if bugs aren't a concern a second camper can sleep in the 'front room'. I typically use just a tarp for camping so the coverage of this tent is way more that adequate. The Polycotton is very noticeably more comfortable that other materials. Even in bright sun on a hot day the tent does not feel like the inside of a greenhouse. I haven't used the mini tarp as a reflector but it does add useful coverage as an extension of the roof. It weighs exactly as described so not a tent you want to carry very far but great for car camping. For anyone who has always admired the 'Baker' style tent or Bill Mason's 'Campfire' tent I highly recommend this tent.

The ease of switching between configurations is a standout feature, showcasing the tent's dynamism.
