    Stumbled on your channel while looking into the Kodiak Canvas Truck Tent. Spouse wanted a tent that wasn't on the ground and I thought maybe the canvas material was better than the other stuff the Napier is made of. I think seeing you camp in the snow storm in it gave it enough positive points to make it worth paying a little more for the heavy duty material.

    Those military style cots are great if you’re base camping for a few days and not concerned about weight or bulk. With use it will get a little easier to pop the spreader in. Having to put one up and take one down everyday overlanding? Not worth the trouble. We’ve got the Gazelle T4, 3 years with no complaints. It’s held up well. You just have to get used to the D style doors.

      @@DirtRoadReset South Africa is one of the most spectacular countries to live in, with many different trails to do.. However our crime rate and severe violent crime make boondocks g almost not worth the while, so you kina stuck to going to established resorts. Stealth camping is an option, but you need to be ultra careful, which takes the pleasure out of that. Our gear is mostly Chinese crap imports, as the retail market is overwhelmingly dominated by mass mart owned by Wal-Mart,, so good gear is either exorbitantly expensive thanks to our junk status currency, or you have to jump at second hand gear, of which there is quite a bit going right now as people with resources are selling up and getting out.

  • @JesseCase
    @JesseCase 28 днів тому

    That cot is just a civilian copy of a military cot. That's how cots were designed for years and years, and is still how military cots are to this day. Yeah they can be a little aggravating when new, but they aren't all that bad and they do get quite a bit easier after using them a few times and letting the fabric stretch and settle. They are designed to be more of a durable and long term use cot. They aren't great for weekend camping trips. If you want easy you gotta get one of those fancy new UL backpacking cots with the levered snap on legs. I have a few different ones and they are pretty nice, and very easy and quick to setup.
