Is this open on both ends or just one (like a bivy)?

It is open on both ends. Since the tent is 8 feet long, there is enough mylar material that you can use the included paracord to tie one end shut and use as a large 2-person emergency bivy. This is how we suggest using the shelter when there are no trees or suitable objects to tie up the paracord for use as a tent.

how small is the tent when folded up?

It will fit in your hand . . . but it is really for bad times. It is a tube tent, meaning that neither end is sealed, but is open, and there are no poles to support it. You'll need 2 trees or some other means to support the corded roof line. Survival probably, but not for pleasure.

Does it have loops so I could use 4 pegs instead of rocks to pin it down?

No, the tent does not include loops for stakes. Our tents are designed to be used in survival situations only, not to replace your camping tent. If you prefer to use pegs instead of rocks or gear to pin down the corners, you can create loops by inserting the stake through the mylar and then reinforcing the area with tape. However, this may compromise the strength of the mylar, so it is not recommended.

What are the dimensions of the tent? In inches. If you don’t know, don’t answer. We can exchange positive thoughts telepathically.

The specs say the base is 5 foot by 8 foot which would make it 60" by 96." If it's an equalateral triangle, as it appears, that means the height would be about 4 foot 4 in or 52." Have not measure the thing but just using basic geometry formulas. Looks about right from the pictures of the two people in it.
