These are a little odd. I wasn't sure how they were going to work. After a little toying around with them, I can see how they will be helpful in a rainstorm to really tighten up my rain fly on the tent. They are lightweight and easy to tuck into my tent bag.

Let me start out by saying that I was a guide with the Sierra Club for 5yrs., an outdoor survival instructor for 12yrs., and worked in an environmental ed. center for 6yrs. I have a lot of experience & Sierra Designs Grip Clips are the best thing to come along since toilet paper! I tested it on a 30ft. structure with 60ml/hr. gusts & everything held with no damage to the material. With this product the applications are endless. With a pocket full of clips, nylon cord, & a guide tarp you could make a variety of structures under 4lbs. I'm going to by more before they're discontinued!

You have to figure out how to use this product yourself. There are no instructions and the photo is misleading. The photo is what it would look like from the inside of the tent. And, there is no loop as the picture shows. There are two pieces: a) a ring and b) a base for the ring that has a strap attached for the rope guides. Here's how to put them on your tent:
1) Place the ring piece inside the tent at the spot you want it.
2) place the oval-with-strap piece on the OUTSIDE of the tent and push the oval piece through the tent fabric into ring piece on the inside. The ring piece locks it in place.
It's hard to understand with words, you just have to fiddle with it until you get it. It is very clever. Enjoy.

Yup, these clips are worth the money. When I bought my new tent, I didn't even notice it didn't have any stake loops at the bottom, mid-points of each wall. As such, the slightest breeze would push the wall(s) in about 12"... annoying. These clips (once you figure out how they attach,ha) solve the problem. A good idea at a reasonable price.

First the good: I purchased two fans and used them on three camping trips. They really keep the tent comfortable. Now the bad: On my second camping trip one unit began pulsing slow and then fast. I assumed it needed new batteries. On the third trip of the season, one fan stopped working on low speed and there was a strong electrical burning smell and the power pack was hot to the touch. I switched over to the second fan and it too overheated causing the battery pack switch to begin melting. I called the Coleman help number and they indicated that they haven't had reports of any problems but offered to repair or replace it at no charge and sent me a return shipping ticket so that I didn't have to pay to have it shipped back. I'm hoping the replacement units last longer than the originals.

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3JM96MQ8C7JWB IT works if air is cool and tent is hot, won't help if it's a heat wave and it's hot air outside and it's a hot tent. so it depends on the temp of the outside air as to whether or not it does the trick. the noise level is low and steady enough to put a baby to sleep.

I got this fan because we are planning on a lot of summer camping in the mid-west. We've used it one weekend so far. The temps were in the mid 70s at night, very humid and very stagnant. We used it in a 6-person tent with all the windows open, and it had just the right amount of air circulation to make an otherwise uncomfortable night bearable. Specs say there is a 20-hour battery life on high power (40-hours on low) - we used it on high for 2 full nights and didn't have any noticeable reduction in power, and its still going strong. Money well spent.
Also, to comment on the noise concerns - no doubt you can hear the fan, but its not incredibly loud. Its a steady droning that was good at drowning out the noise of the campground.

The netting I purchased was perfect for two small children, or one adult and one small child. Our group was in Central Africa and netting is a prized possession. Good quality material and very easy to set up in even remote villages. No real complaints, and all that I distributed were very well received. One small item: while the price I paid was not out of the ordinary, found a store in Atlanta that sold the same packaged goods for three USD cheaper. I was a little surprised about that, for what it's worth.
Otherwise, good purchase.

I built an outdoor bathtub overlooking our river in the Salmon River Mountains. The net is suspended from poles over the tub in full sun and susceptible to the daily morning and afternoon winds that come up and down the river valley. It has been up for most of the summer and is still doing the job of keeping bugs away...an added benefit is it keeps many of the pine needles and other blown debris out of the tub as well. Given the wet spring and summer's bumper crop of mosquitos and flies, the tub would have gotten no use without this netting! I will certainly buy more in the future! Great product at a reasonable price.

I bought 2 of these fans about 5 years ago. At first we only used them at night. I was AMAZED that I could run it all night (it is COMPLETELY SILENT) on a 4 night trip and it was still going strong. I've since bought 2 more as gifts. Sometimes I attach them to the canopy over our picnic table or just carry them. We use these fans on every trip and I never worry about them falling or breaking or running out of juice. I don't know what others are doing with their fans to have such poor performance. I keep mine in a coffee can between trips, in a hot attic (w/o battery of course) and they work time and and time again with no problems. I just pull off the propellers and put the pieces in the can. Simple. With the magnetic grip you can attach it right to the gear loft and enjoy a great breeze just like having a ceiling fan. I love them. By the way... you might think open blades are a safety issue but they are very gentle and stop the instant they encounter an obstruction. I've stuck my fingers in them many times (as have my children) and they have been totally harmless. The blade stops instantly and it doesn't hurt one bit. It's kind of a good party joke. The magnet is super strong and holds tight. I wish I had these when my kids were in strollers.

I almost didn't buy this fan after reading some of the bad reviews on Amazon but I needed a fan and needed it fast so I thought, what the heck. Many of the bad reviews point out that the fan is not strong or doesn't blow a lot of wind. Well yeah, but... It runs on 2 D cell batteries and runs for quite a whole on those batteries which is good. I found if you wanted air for just one person, this fan was excellent at doing that. So if you've got 3 or 4 people in your tent, you will need 3 or 4 fans and position them over each person. The magnet attachment feature works very nicely and holds securely and is also easy to take off when you're done and tearing down camp. The small footprint of the thing is nice too. It's not too heavy and doesn't take up much space.
So overall, read the reviews on Amazon but realize that for the price and size of this thing, it works well and does it's job, just don't expect "huge industrial fan" type performance.

This fan works but it has very weak tabs that hold the battery in and was sent to me broken. I contacted the seller but was ignored. I wouldnt buy it from anyone .The bitterness of poor quality lasts far longer than the sweetness of low price.

I read the reviews and had concerns, but it was the only fan that I could get in time for a campout. Overall, the fan works. It was really hot and this fan circulated the air in my 4-man tent. While I wasn't in danger of being blown out of the tent, it did push the air around and provide a gentle breeze. There is very little chance of the fan falling because the magnet that connects the back plate which goes on the outside of the tent and the rest of the fan is strong...really strong. So strong that when I pulled the fan off the back plate, the back batter cover which the magnet is attached stayed stuck to the back plate. The next time I removed the fan, I thought I knew better and held on the sides where the battery cover locks on to the fan. This time the glue that holds the magnet on the battery cover pulled a part leaving the magnet still attached to the back plate. Time to break out the liquid nails glue. I'll keep the fan, it works, but Coleman should redesign the fan. The tabs that hold the battery cover to the rest of the fan is really thin and I can see it breaking easily with the magnet that strong.
2010-05-14By Lisa Higgins (Wilmington, DE)
This product is small and not very powerful. I have used it numerous times and eventually went out and bought two battery operated standalone fans...this didn't do the trick for us and didn't circulate enough air. I also really don't like the magnet mechanism that holds this in place - especially when using with a mesh area, it really pulls and could damage your tent.
I would not buy this item again. Lesson learned.

one of the stakes bent and broke straight in half the very first time i used it. i was pushing it in with my foot, so not really using excessive force. given that these have the reputation of being unbendable, i can only assume that this was a factory fluke, as it broke quite easily. either way, still awesome stakes, the rest are great quality, just disappointed that i have to buy more now that i only have 7 stakes for my 8 stake tent.
By cltinseattle (Seattle)
Ok, I love these tent stakes and I agree they are the best tent stakes out there when you have to pound a tent stake into rocky ground - which is almost always. But let's do the math ok? One MSR Ground Hot Tent Stake is $1.95 each when purchased separately. A kit with 8 tent stakes is $19.95, or $2.50 each. So why would I order a kit of 8 for $19.95 when I can order 8 separately for $15.60?

These stakes are the bomb, but it is cheaper to buy 8 singles than 1 kit
By Ryan L. Burrill (Minnesota, USA)
I really like the design of these stakes. Their triangular design gives them strength so that they do not bend. Would be nice if they had more of a hook at the top, but they're plenty functional the way they are. They could be a bit cheaper, but I suppose they could cost a bit more too, so all in all I'm very satisfied with them, highly recommended.

I bought two of these (one per person)for my trip to Bonnaroo this year. What a helper because it was in the 90s. These quiet fans pack a good breeze til the morning. Didn't have to change batteries for four days being there.
By Ronald L. Linch Jr. (Fort Worth, Texas)
Ordered two of these initially but when one of them arrived broken (the plastic piece holding the blade to the rotor was broke) it was returned for a replacement. Then we went camping for one night. The next morning only one of the two fans were still working properly, the other was not moving at all. Changed batteries, still didnt work, changed batteries again, now it worked... but could barely move it's "low" setting. Upon returning home, went ahead and returned all these fans. Didn't even want to keep the working one because a 1 in 3 success rate doesn't spell confidence... figured it was just a matter of time (days?) before the working one would stop working. If they all had worked properly, I probably would have given these 3 stars. They just dont move the air much unless your about a foot away.

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R5RDMX1IVVRT6 Ah. Poor Princess Monkey has entered that time of life that every female fears -- the time of hot flashes. And they are so much worse in the summertime. So last summer she ordered a portable fan from Amazon. She loves it. She carries it with her. Since the base is very sturdy, she can place it just about anywhere for a cool breeze.
Little did Princess Monkey know that the fan would come in handy during the winter too. In January a fearful ice storm hit, leaving her without power for eleven days. For eleven days, she used a small portable heater to keep warm. One day, as she was standing on a chair, trying to catch the warm air up by the ceiling, she remembered her portable fan. She set it up on a curio shelf in her dining room, adjusted it downward, and soon the ceiling's warm air was wafting down on her. This fan is a great buy. It does need four D batteries which are not included.
In the background of the video is the Rubbermaid 3G8900HONEY 9-Pair Wood-Finish Shoe Bench. This, too, is a great buy.

I purchased this fan to help move the air around in my steam shower, where the floor would get cooler than the ceiling. Knowing that I just needed some kind of battery-powere operation and knowing that this was not the intended use of the fan, I am reporting that the fan works very well in an environment of 120 degree heat and ~100% humidity. While the foam blades held some water which consequently caused them to weigh more and which negatively affected fan speed, the fan itself worked fine for what it is - an inexpensive way to move air with a battery-operated lightweight device.

This light is perfect when camping. The metal part would have to go on the outside of the tent on top, hooks by magnet. Gives the right amount of light just to change or even read in the tent.

Light not real bright.More like a nite light. Used this as a backup light for a first aid cabin tent. Liked being able to move it to areas needed for direct light.. Ready to have available for hurricanes.

great light. Magnets allow you to have it hanging from the top/ceiling of your tent if you want. small, compact, yet plenty bright enough for my small 2 man tent.
By Stacy Trost Lewis (Florida)
We have been using this light for close to ten years now. Using it only for car camping anyway, since it is a bit too heavy for backpacking - we like to travel light. It is not showing any signs of wear so far. It is not an extremely bright light, but it is not dim. It is plenty bright to use for general night time tent stuff, like setting up your bedding, getting the kids settled in, etc. Because it is not a modern type of LED light the batteries don't last as long, but when we bought this there were no LED lights available.
The older technology is the only reason I am giving it 4 stars. When we purchased this light there was really nothing else on the market similar to it and the magnet fastener was a great new idea. So now, if we were to be looking for a tent light, we would look at some of the newer, brighter, more efficient LED type tent lights. The only drawback to those is that they tend to project most of their light in a straight line, i.e. they don't diffuse the light well. This Coleman light does diffuse very well; it spreads fairly equal lighting all around itself making a very pleasant environment. Would we buy it again? Maybe, but the LED tent lights are probably a better deal.
By dcn8v (Alexandria, VA USA)
This lamp is easily installed on your tent. It doesn't throw the kind of bright white light that can be a little jarring (think of those cars with the super-bright headlights), this light is more a creamy yellow, gentler on the eyes. If you have a small tent it will work well. Larger tents will need two or more lamps. The lamp does feel heavy for its size due to the 4 AA batteries and the two magnets. The magnets are very powerful- don't store this near any credit cards or other items that would be affected by the magnetism. Also, I recommend putting something (thin cardboard, fabric swatch) between both sides of the magnet to protect the fabric of your tent. When you remove the magnet, you have to pivot the metal attachment piece, and I'm afraid that if I do that repeatedly, it will degrade the tent in that spot.
