Tents are items that offer a source of storage to players. They do not save from server to server but on the originating server they were deployed on. Deployed tents cannot be stolen, however the items inside can be. WARNING as of patch 1.7.1.5 tents will often reappear empty after server restarts regardless if the save command was used. There are 3 item types: Backpacks Weapons & Tools (All tools including Night Vision Goggles and Binoculars. All weapons including Sidearms). General items (p.e. ammo, vehicle parts, Blood Bags etc.). A tent can hold a fixed amount of each item-type, within the item-type each item counts as one (unlike in the Inventory system). A tent can hold up to five backpacks, ten weapons & tools and fifty general items. For example one tent can hold five binoculars, five M4A1s, fourty STANAG mags, ten engine parts and five backpacks at the same time. If you place a filled backpack into the tent, the contents of the backpack will remain. Tents require 3 Inventory slots and can be placed in Backpacks.
