Wow, that's awesome. It's obviously very easy to set up... I just want to know how easy it is to pack up. They don't show a video of that....

If it's easy to pack and set AND lightweight, I have to have it for my next backpacking trip!

That's true... it would be sorta tricky to take that on a canoe trip, or a hike in the forest. The super duper awesome really cool tent (did I get the name right?) packs down to the size of a match box and weighs mere ounces. Or something like that.

I for one am not pulling that thing through a forest lol. nor am I pulling it up the side of a hill or mountain. driving it with a car as it is on roads is good but not pulling it through treed in forest lol. and pulling that with a canoe would be just insane lol. I have been canoeing several times myself so I definaly know you dont want to do that. Am sorry brothers but that for me would only be a good pull up, park and camp kinda thing.

Btw, is that you bro ABC? To be fair enough, that cart is cool and dandy also, especially if it can carry a ref. I believe it is best that you'd have both then: one that has the magical touch, and the other with all the stuff on it. ;-)

what we need is a air blowup house :D yeah that would be great full 2 story with all the extras man that would be good, hmm but cost might be a problem

hmm... apparently the two-second tent was recalled... 22,000 units in all. Not only that, but the parent company, Decathalon, closed all of it's American stores as of Dec. 2006 (can't believe I missed the liquidation sale!)

From what I read, it was a 7 pound 2 person tent. 's kinda heavy, really. Just get a bivie. They're like, 2 pounds, and set up in under two minutes. Usually just 1 pole and a few stakes to put down the rain fly.

ah. Mr. Ultralight. :D

actually, I'm not in the market for a tent. A backpack actually is in my future. 4,000 cubic inches at the very least, though I'm currently looking at one with a volume of 5,800. Week long treks here I come!

The wife to be. Her parents are not in favor of me, but the Lord's will be done. There's no problem between us but her situation with her folks gives her a hard time. She was strengthened when she received her confirmation from the Lord. Such a very nice experience when God backs you up and supports you in your lovelife. What a great favor from the Lord.
