A camp bed, or cot in North America, is a small portable, lightweight bed used in situations where larger permanent beds cannot be used. The main advantage of this bed is its portability and compactness. Camp beds are generally used by armies or organizations, in tourism, and in emergency situations when there is a need to quickly provide accommodation for victims. Camp beds generally consist of a foldable lightweight wood or metal frame, covered with canvas, linen or nylon. The first camp bed were probably used by the Roman army. During the Soviet period, the lack of housing caused a massive use of camp beds that made them irreplaceable, iconic elements of the Soviet life. ==Gallery== File:American Army Folding Bed-WWII.jpg|American Army Folding Bed, used in World War II File:Bed-folding Status.jpg|Collapsed camp bed File:French portable field bed dsc06886.jpg|French portable field bed with mosquito net File:US Navy 071023-N-5086M-023 Culinary Specialist 2nd Class Yan Ng prepares cots for potential evacuees during the San Diego wildfires, which have already burned more than 250,000 acres in San Diego County.jpg|Cots for potential evacuees from the 2007 California wildfires File:Bundesarchiv Bild 101I-187-0203-15A, Russland, Soldaten bei Ruhepause.jpg|German soldier on a collapsible camp bed, 1941 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Camp bed」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
