We pull Alps Mountaineering's Escalade Cot out of its stuff sack and set it up in seconds for a good night's rest at the campsite. This fully connected cot requires no assembly with separate parts, so it's easy to set it up in the dark after stargazing around the campfire. The Escalade's sturdy construction includes steel connectors, a telescoping center support, and angled end legs that prevent any rocking throughout the night. The Escalade Cot packs up as easily as it sets up.
