Home away from home! - California Fishing

FishSlayer · 03-30-2008, 01:55 AM

I decided that unloading the fishing equipment and float tubes from the back of my truck just to get some sleep was to much work after a hard day of fishing but setting up a tent was also more than I wanted to do...so I got this.

I already received it and was able to set it up in minutes, its built like a tank and my inflatable mattress fits inside of it with room to spare. It has nifty little overhead storage pockets inside of it at each end and four entrances/windows, one on each side and two more on the ends.
I would not want to try and carry it on a hike to anywhere as it is quite heavy but it is going to be much more convient than a "normal" tent when I am camping out of my truck and because its off the ground I do not have to dig a trench around it in bad weather to keep it dry.
LETS GO CAMPING!

looks nice, compact, and easy to assemble.

assemble nothing, it folds out just like a cot!

Those things are awesome. No cold hard ground to lay on.

They even come in a double width, for couples.

that thing probobly will keep you warmer on those cold nights as well! maybe i should get one instead of borrowing other peoples tents lol.

cst · 03-31-2008, 05:02 PM

i dont like how you can see through the windows though

Looks like the rainfly is extra...I'm assuming you have to be a contortionist if you're changing clothes :P

Nice though...better than a bivouac sack

the oversize is around 7 foot long and 3 feet wide, its tall enough to sit straight up in so changing clothes or getting in and out of sleeping bags should be no problem.

The screens are "no seeum" mesh but it has zippered doors you can close for complete privacy.
