How do i put the end rails to lock in on military style cot?

Answer 1

Unfold the cot and while you can put on ether side support in place.  Once you have one side on, flip the cot upright.  Make sure the support you just put on is up in the air.  When you have the cot positioned slide in the support on the bottom and attach it to one side.  Now you have to negotiate the now pain in the butt side.  Do this by placing your foot on the unattached side.  Press down and use the leverage of the upright cot to negotiate it into place.  Trust me you’re not going to break this thing even though it might feel like it.  I have found this method very helpful.  There are many ways to skin a cat though.  Just keep in mind that leverage is your best friend in this endeavor.  Good luck.  Scouts Out!
