is it heavy duty enough to stand up to heavy use for example backpacking or camping

I have not used it for that, however it is very thick and substantial unlike a lot of blankets at that price point. I think if you keep it fairly clean it should hold up well. Hope that helps.

I think it would hold up pretty good. You "nail" the tent down to the beach with stakes. So the better you secure the stakes the better it will hold up.

I have not used it and if you think you could set it up in a tent with a floor so it would not get dirty, it would be quite comfortable. But this is heavy and if you're backpacking, then this is not the item for you. Also this isn't easily washed like a sleeping bag so if it does get dirty, it would be hard to clean.

I wish I could help you, but I bought this for my son. He says it is one of the best around. He does a lot of camping, hiking, etc. It's definitely not flimsy in any way. Sorry I couldn't be any more helpful.

yes I think so, Its comfortable and weighs about 5 1/2 pounds, the 3inch thick mattress really smoothens out what ever your laying it on. the material isn't that strong for outdoor use like laying it on the ground outside. but if you put it on a queen size cot it works great for camping. if your hiking and carrying it on your back its kinda big and bulky but if your driving to your camp site its perfect.

I don't know because we haven't used it yet. It a nice quality and would be good for fall or spring camping. I wouldn't use it for extreme temperatures. I think it should be good for backpacking.

Hello John,This is a heavy tarp; not appropriate for backpacking. I could see using it camping out of a car or truck. It is meant for outdoor use. It has a bit of an odor, that waterproofed canvas smell. It's a quality, heavy weight tarp. I play ice hockey and shoot into it for practice. It will take a fair bit of abuse. Good luck,Gary Schoepfel

It is pretty heavy. I doubt one will use it for camping. I like this item. I put it on wood surface and it is comfortable enough for sleeping.

I kind of doubt it would hold up for long term usage. It's comfortable enough and I use it as a bed for my great grand baby when she visits. It's pretty sturdy but continued use by an adult might be expecting too much.

Yes. Very durable...can even bring it camping. Just make sure to oil the pan after washing to prevent rust

I have not tried outside yet, but based on my use so far, it is pretty sturdy and should be ok. Sandbags would be highly recommended as this thing is pretty light.

We used one of these for a heavy duty trailer, cant remember the tire size now but it was big. Worked fine but... its not the strongest material and I am waiting for it to give. My vehicles do spend a lot of time in serious off road conditions, that is why I worry. If this is for normal use, you will be fine.

It must be anchored. You can find something much cheaper and better for the task than this for truckbed camping. This is built to be light and backpacker-friendly, qualities it sounds like you do not need. Check out other tents.

Fantastic. You'll need weights or stakes to hold it down in windy conditions of course. But assuming its sufficiently held to the ground, the frame and fabric holds up well under some pretty strong winds. We take it for a week's camping trip every year as a extra shade area in what is essentially an unprotected open field. Using 10" stakes to hold it down, the canopy has been through some pretty severe storms. After about five years, we've replaced our old one, as the fabric does wear thin. (A little white duct tape fixes minor thin spots).

It's plenty sturdy. I wouldn't run it over with a tank or use it as a hammer but it should hold up fine for you.

I used mine for camping, but it was never set up in bad weather for extended periods of time so I cannot say for sure.

The panels are fairly rigid, but sturdy, with a tiny bit of flex. This is a robust panel. If moderate care were taken to protect the panel from impacts, it should be fine. I would use shock cord to secure the panel. While I don't use the panel strapped to my backpack, I would have no qualms doing so, if needed.
