Question

can you get a tent in a tin/can? i have heard you can get them but where?!?! can u please help me?!?!

Answer 1

I don't know where you could get one specifically, but any small to medium geodesic dome style tent could easily be packed into a 2 1/2 to 5 gallon bucket, and the poles tied together in a bundle and strapped or taped to the outside of the can/bucket. This would make the packed tent waterproof, insect proof, and floatable should it ever come to that.
