To find the total surface area of the two triangular bases of the tent, we first need to calculate the area of each triangle.

Using the formula for the area of a triangle (A = 1/2 * base * height), we can calculate the area of each triangle:

For the first triangle with sides 3 ft, 4 ft, and 7 ft:
s = (3 + 4+ 7)/2 = 7
Area = √(7(7-3)(7-4)(7-7)) = √(7(4)(3)(0)) = √(0) = 0 ft^2

For the second triangle with sides 3 ft, 4 ft, and 7 ft:
s = (3 + 4+ 7)/2 = 7
Area = √(7(7-3)(7-4)(7-7)) = √(7(4)(3)(0)) = √(0) = 0 ft^2

Therefore, the total surface area of the two triangular bases of the tent is 0 ft^2.
