Does KDT provide cots and bedding for incident camps?
Cots, Sleeping Bags & Bedding
Yes.
KDT provides cots, sleeping pads, sleeping bags, pillows and bedding for incident camps and shelters, delivered in bulk and set up to your layout.
Typical configuration
- Cots
- Folding steel or aluminum frame, about 75–80 in long, rated about 250–300+ lb
- Pads
- Foam or self-inflating pads, about 1–3 in
- Sleeping bags
- Rated about 0–40°F depending on season and location
- Shelter cots

Responders who don't sleep don't work safely. A cot off the ground with a pad, a warm bag and a pillow is the baseline for a crew tent or a gym-floor shelter. Hurricane shelters need the same thing for evacuees, often hundreds at once.
KDT supplies cots and sleeping bags in bulk on any incident: federal wildfires ordering beyond the National Fire Equipment System (NFES) interagency cache, and state, local and non-federal incidents with no cache to draw from.
We deliver in bulk and set cots up in rows to your layout, with aisle spacing for egress. For hurricane shelters and long responses we can add bariatric cots, linen kits and linen exchange. We collect everything at demob, or leave it with the shelter or agency if that's the order.
