Camp Bed
A camp bed is a narrow, light-weight bed, often made of sturdy cloth stretched over a folding frame. The term camp bed is common in the United Kingdom, but in North America they are often referred to as cots. Camp beds are used by the military in temporary military camp, camps and in emergency situations where large numbers of people are in need of housing after disasters. They are also used for recreational purposes, such as overnight camping trips. Ancient history It is believed that Tutankhamun, King Tutankhamun, who reigned in Egypt from approximately 1332 to 1323 BC, may have had the first camping bed. When Tomb of Tutankhamun, Tutankhamun's tomb was opened in 1922, a room full of furniture was found to contain a three-section camping bed that folded up into a Z shape. Though the king, who had a clubfoot, may never have taken part in long-distance explorations, the elaborate folding bed suggests he had an interest in camping and hunting. 18th- and early 19th-century histor ...

Kohte
The Kohte is the typical tent of Germany, German Scouting and the German Youth Movement. Based on the Sámi people, Sámi goahti and lavvu and developed in the late 1920s and early 1930s, it is an open-topped tent assembled on-site from four characteristically shaped panels, which are traditionally black, and uses two tent poles lashed together in a ''V'' shape, from which the top of the tent is suspended using crossed sticks. The central hole serves as a smoke hole, so that a fire inside the tent is possible. Construction The kohte is assembled on-site from four identical panels of heavy canvas, almost always black, each formed by sewing two triangles together and cutting off the apex. The four panels together weigh approximately ; separately, they can be carried to the campsite by several members of the group. The panels are fastened together using either a loop and grommet system or a loop-strap system, depending on the manufacturer. A vertical base may be added under the pa ...
