The total surface area of the two triangular bases of this tent can be calculated as follows:

Total surface area = 2 * Area of one triangular base
Total surface area = 2 * (0.5 * base * height)
Total surface area = 2 * (0.5 * 4 * 3)
Total surface area = 2 * (6)
Total surface area = 12 square feet

Therefore, the total surface area of the two triangular bases of this tent is 12 square feet.
