Cot Organizer

I just recently bought one of Teton Sports Outfitter XXL camping cots. It is very nice and it will probably outlive me. I went camping just a few days after getting the cot. It is very roomy and fits me,,,I'm 6'3" tall and 300+ pounds. My feet or head don't hang over the edge and I could probably fit my 140 pound wife right next to me on the cot. The night I first used the cot, someone was running their dogs in the Ocala National Forest not far from my camp. I don't know what they were doing but I didn't want some poachers coming down the small road I was camped near especially if they were poaching. I had my pistol with me and I also had an AR-15 in the cab of my truck (I sleep in the in the pickup bed on this cot). I got my rifle and laid it on the side of the cot right next to me under a memory foam cushion that I put on the cot. Even with that rifle with a magazine, I still had plenty of room for me to sleep. I decided to purchase this gun sleeve, or scabbard, to have a place to lay my rifle next to me in case I need it for self-defense. With this gun sleeve, I won't have to worry about it getting scratched up on the pickup bed or falling off of the cot onto the pickup bed. The Teton Sports' gun sleeve, just like the cot, it is very well made. The gun sleeve fits on the side of the cot with some Velcro and elastic loops. One of the two ends is open so rifles or shotguns of any length will fit. The gun sleeve also comes with a storage bag. It should attach easily into the bag for the cot. The next purchase I will make from Teton Sports is to buy the accessory bag that will fit on the other side of the cot. So far, I am really impressed with Teton Sports' products.

I really like this organizer. It's very sturdy and well-made. But, although it velcros at both ends to the cot it needs to attach in the center also. Since most of the side of the cot is covered with fabric I attached additional velcro (stick-on). One piece on the cot fabric and the other piece on the organizer then pressed the two pieces of velcro together. It helps to keep the organizer from drooping in the middle. This little hiccup would not keep me from buying another organizer if I purchased another cot. It is great to have a place to put your eyewear and a lot of other items during the night when you're sleeping.

I like the idea and it did work well for storing things you want close at hand. Keys, water bottle , knife etc. Attachment sufficient. And once installed it stores well with the cot !

This organizer holds everything that I formerly put on my little cot side table. It holds my water bottle, reading glasses, cell phone, pack of tissues, knife, pepper spray, headphones, mini maglight, tooth brush, toothpaste, mouthwash, and hearing aid charger, and it still has plenty of space left for other items. I use a bungee cord to prevent the organizer from sagging due to the weight of the items it holds. Very happy with this organizer, I attached it to the back of the desk at my bedside at home, so I use at both at home and when camping. Seems to be high quality, time will tell about how durable this organizer is.

Great accessory. I highly recommend this if you are using yor cot inside a vehicle. I would recommend securing it with zip-ties. The velcro is iffy

Ex Army guy so I have slept on a sturdy military cot- long term. This is much lighter (I have the largest one offered) than a mil cot but assembles about the same. The easy close red swing-bar feature is clever, but overrated and a baby would not have been able to pull my foot bar into place! Still, this holds my 250lbs. effortlessly and is solid. The under cot organizers are tough to access on the large size cot and the clip and straps don’t offer enough length to index the thing to either side for easier access (easier in the smaller size cots I imagine). Biggest gripe is how the cot side organizer only hangs at the ends- allowing some frustrating sag across the middle between the connection points- which are medium-duty plastic clips. The rifle bag is felt lined- nice - and opened at each end - that’s a good design. The other small issue is that while the carry bag does the job, it doesn’t zip up or even close up completely. It secures itself with two small hook/loop tabs but any accessories you would have stored in there will blow out/ fall out. It’s just wide open! Yeah, the bag doesn’t seem to fit the theme of quality I feel for the rest of this thing. Not disappointed, and aside from the bag issue, this is a solid 5-star item.

Get your stuff together! And get the teton mattress. Make the other boyscout dad's jealous.

I have the TETON Sports Cot so I thought I would get the cot organizer as well. I am very happy I did. This will hold my books, flashlight, tablet, radio, phone, and even my bear repellent. It gets things off the floor and out of the way. The cot organizer also keeps everything at a very convenient place so you know where things are can easily reach them. It is a good size organizer and offers a lot of storage and has several handy pockets. The quality is the same as the TETON Cot which I think is the best available.
