Crazy how this man just keeps coming up with new ideas! Imagine those dudes just casually going for an evening fishing session to roll up on a floating campsite, lol.
Steve did this already so more like recycled idea
Shhh it’s still quite time in the camp ground
You could really throw someone by having a floating campfire, too. Like a micro-pontoon or something.
@@oldgrandpa1758 not really
People have been doing this for years there's loads of videos of it all over yt from ages ago.
Mav is quite simply the coolest man in the world. Even when things seem sketchy. He flashes that smile and rides it out. You’re amazing and we all thank you for this content.
I was so worried about you doing the floating tent, but when you said your friend was there, I was relieved. It's great that while you have the most unique adventures, you think about safety as well!
😂
Another design flaw is that if you zip up the door...how do you get out if it starts to sink in the middle of the night.
yep, the water pressure would just trap you inside that tarp. Theres no way escaping that..
I was thinking the exact same thing 😅
I’d have to sleep with a knife attached to my leg like a diver does so hopefully you don’t panic and are able to cut your way out.
Yeah that's pretty sketchy
Yikes…that trapped feeling…not for me…maybe in a pool wouldn’t be bad…for a couple of hours as a getaway.
I think it's a cool idea, but my biggest problem with it is the the door. If you want to keep insects out you need to close it, but if you do and the thing somehow flips over you could be in trouble, even if it's still floating. I know it's not the most likely thing to happen, but it's a possibility nonetheless and that'd be too much for me if I'm on the water.
Imo The biggest problem is if it deflates while you are deep asleep it instantly becomes a body bag…
@laska907 that's definitely a big one
Agreed. No way would I camp in that. Unsafe. Ice fishing shack on solid ice, sure, but this? Nope.
Definitely needs to keep a sharp pocket knife on his person.
It's a bad design top to bottom. First, the flotation section should have multiple air chambers to prevent it from sinking if one encounters a sharp rock/stick/fishing hook. Second - bad window design. Who puts windows in a tent anyway? Third, it needs a more rigid floor, like a folding multi-panel thing. It could also use a few inflatable sections in the bottom to isolate you from cold water. Fourth, no screens on the openings. Sure not worth $600 to put your life at risk.
The floating tents like this one that ive priced out also come with floating dock that goes inside the tent. gives more support for youself and any gear you have inside the tent with you.
Going down some rapids in the floating tent would take Mav to a whole new level.
This is it. Take it down a snowy hill too!
😂
Mav sold me on never wanting to camp in a floating tent 😂
Your motto has been getting me through these tough months as of lately. I know it's something small but it's a great affirmation to live by when you are feeling down. My usual motto is "just keep swimming" but lately I've been saying, "keep on trucking" and I've been doing just that! Thanks Mav. Stay safe out there
What a wonderful friend you have there Mav. He's waiting by himself in case anything goes south. He has my appreciation.
Ya know how people become great people, Mav's parents.
Thank you! ❤
I would love to see this in action with Steve and Crazy Neighbor when/if they do their week long river trip again. Thanks for another great video!
I was thinking the same thing 😂
I would say it would definitely be exciting I would say they would be swimming to shore or a soe call one would love to see it for sure
With Crazy Neighbor breaking his hip, it might be a long time before they do another river trip.😮
Yeah, I was thinking we need an official ruling from Steve. I trust Mav's opinions and everything but I'm going to need a second opinion on this one.
No way man. They are way too accident prone😂❤
OMG, I would have camped in 6 feet of water, had a life jacket nearby, worn a sheathed Bowie knife to my leg and prayed for no lightening storm! Man, Mav, you must be a 🐱 with nine lives! 😂
Absolutely!
same!
More like 3 feet of water for me. With my luck the tent would spring a leak and the knife would get dropped the moment I tried using it. In 3 feet of water I could just stand up, find the door and force it open.
Or.....😂
mav the mad lad
Well that was interesting and glad it all worked out for you.
I think you should do a camp night in a tree house while preparing a fantastic meal for yourself.
The Gatorade bottle. What I like to refer to in my work van as 'The executive restroom'.
Using the hand pump wrong, the two handle looking things are actually what you stand on and pull the other side... That's why the hose was falling off
I honestly felt way better about this when you said you have a friend on shore just in case.
As a lifetime boater! Use a extension cord spool from Home Depot to wrap your anchor rope up and it will save you all the headaches of tangled rope!
I wanna see an inflatable tent on a frozen lake.
lol ice-skating with a tent?
I’ve never seen Mav so nervous of his sleeping arrangements! I’d be freaking out also!
To make the floor a bit more walkable A small rounded over piece of ply could serve you well
I'd try camping a few feet in the water with a small bridge to it or next to a floating dock.
I enjoy your content, keep it up!
some kind of "peice together" flooring, I think, would be ideal. It's just something to give you a little more confidence with that tent. All in all, it seems like that is a product that you get what you pay for. With every floating section being connected means that one pin hole can ruin the whole trip. It needs to be constructed like one of those rental bounce house companies, and then I would have a bit of confidence in it.
Definitely the best clothing line I’ve seen in yt
This video was pretty in-tents
Mav, you are the face of adventures! Always an excellent video when you post. 💯✊🏾💪🏾👍🏾
on the next episode, Mav goes camping in an actual kids bounce house, while on the water. Get the castle one with huge slides. :) (also, cook fire on a plastic bubble island...what could go wrong) lol
I'd like to see you camp on land in it, maybe do your own design since this one had major issues!! Looks fun, I think good for early morning fishing 🎣 then napping 😂
Like maybe if they put a huge square of like cork or surfboard floating stuff under the membrane, that would be so much safer and screens of course and easy exits as well.
Time-lapse of the tent on water would of been cool to see how it moved with the anchors
Just had my first son. Loosing sleep but atleast I got Mavs videos to keep me entertained 😂 thanks bud
Congrats! You’re going to love having a son. I know I’m proud of my son Mav 💜
@@sherrylosjoosmavs videos have gotten me through a lot of tough times. The world would be a better place with more people like him.
@Mav I have experience with a lot of inflatable furniture and accessories. What you should have done was get a sheet of plywood and line the bottom of the tent so you had a hard surface to stand on, and walk on, and also place your mattress and everything else on, and it would be level. Next time that's what you should do.
There's no way I would actually sleep well in that death trap lmao
Mav's into taking risks. He slept with lit candles inside his truck, etc. Only a matter of time until be wins the Darwin Award.
@@Jeremiah7-ox2nj Mav is the 🐐
@@Jeremiah7-ox2nj I don't know - I haven't heard him say "hold my beer and watch this" yet.
Proud of you man, been watching since you started your channel when you were in Alex Peric's videos. Its no surprise that you have come so far !
I rarely ever sleep good when camping 🏕️
That tent looks like a lot of fun !!!
That is the prettiest lake especially with the sunset. I would love a cabin right there. Nice video Mav. Though it wasn’t the best night sleep glad you didn’t end up in the water.
Concerned that if you were asleep and it began to sink you could be trapped and unable to get out and die. Maybe a razor knife on a lanyard around your neck just in case. Or just don’t use it!
The drone shots were incredible!
Hey Mav, I'd highly recommend the Nemo Fillo fior a camping pillow! it packs a bit larger than the others but is so so comfortable and I can't imagine using anything else anymore
Mav, I dont know if someone already mentioned, if so sorry.
You said that the seam was stitched once and then opened up again, what left holes in the material. But these holes are tracks of the loom, they come from the webbing process. If you buy a fabric from the roll you will always find those zickzack lined holes on the side of the fabric. So your swimming tent is not made of reopened sews or seams, its just good sewn material
Great video! I like to see you mention some of the precautions you take, your buddy camping near by. Might save some one that decides to try these types of things.
Hi Mav, your camping videos in the snow are epic and I hope you keep it up! I’m still waiting for a camping trip to Alaska to see the northern lights. Now that would be an epic video!
-Randall
Makes me appreciate Steve's and Crazy Neighbor's homemade pontoon boat even more. I'd feel much more secure when it comes to cooking and sleeping and navigating. Interesting experiment though.
MAV Hey there !!! That is something !!! Always wanted to stay out on the lake in a pontoon boat close that baby in with refrigerator toilet bed in the screened in area !!! On the end would be the motor but off to the side the grill for COOKING !!! Can always shower on the other end of the pontoon boat in the rain or jump into the water !!! That is retirement for me !!! Going around the lake would have been GRAND for me !!! Love the things you do on this channel!!! Keep ON TRUCKEN
These Mav videos always bring a smile to my face and joy to my day
Mav don't poke to hard we want you safe 💙
Lol
That's awesome hope we see more of the floating tent soon.
Nice seeing you fishing one of my old camping destinations - Hog"front" - lol! I hope you get it 😂
The city I live in here in Ohio has floating tents on the river during the summer that you can rent out and stay in. They look similar to the one you bought but they are hand made locally by a fly fishing float business. I've never tried them out but I bet they are neat. The business is called Smith Fly
Mav!! I'm new to your channel and I must say no one does outdoor activities better than you man. Keep doing what you're doing. 🔥👍🏾
Good afternoon. I was very pleased with the video. The inflatable house can be used both on the water and on land, conveniently and comfortably. Thank you Mav and as always you are super!!! The lake is very beautiful. Hugs to you!!!!😍💓💓💓💋
Mav-that is too cool!!! I love your channel. Just stumbled on it one day about a year ago and have thoroughly enjoyed your videos. Keep it up, man.
Open flame in a plastic boat! What could go wrong!
Well Mav, you've done it again. You came up with yet another unique way to camp. Keeps us curious as to what you will come up with next. Maybe camping on a signal buoy out on the Great Lakes? Keep them coming Mav.
Hey Mav, not even sure if you read these or not, just wanted to say I love your content. As someone who has never been "outdoorsy" or camper, or fisher you make everything seem so fun and interesting. You've peaked my interest on doing these things after years of never even thinking about doing something like this. Thank you for all the awesome content. I do have a question/content idea if it's something you'd be interested in. What if you did a video, maybe even a series, of you maybe taking a new person or fan who has never gone camping/fishing and take them out on a trip and show them the ropes? I'd absolutely love to experience something like this so I'd definitely volunteer! There is so many things I'd love to try, especially something winter/ice fishing!
WoW !! Mav, you keep us so entertained and take us to a whole new level. Even when things are sketchy and crazy , you remain your laid back self and go with the flow. Love your videos and enjoy all your ideas. Keep on Truckin'. 🥰🌟✌
This was a great video Mav. This is just a idea and not me trying to tell you what to do. It probably would work if you cook while you stay in the tent and pull your kayak around and putting some type of board on it or something like that. That’s if you do decide to do this again. Which I hope you do. Much love and support. God bless you on any endeavor you take on.
Now I want to camp in a floating tent on the water. Awesome video!
I can *smell the inside of that new tent just from watching this video 😆
I enjoyed this. Love the inflatable tent. I would like to see you go Camping with a Hot Tent
I would not have been brave enough to cook inside that thing! 😮
I wouldnt be inside it at all cus made in china........
I would be afraid to eat in it! One dropped FORK and to the bottom I go! LOL
@@MrKveite1Welp you must be afraid of almost everything
I figured that it would be some cold salad or sandwich thingy... NOT....Mav...he just has to "heat up the kitchen" to fix his food!Keep on trukkin'!
Afraid of?????, nahh but i do like me som quality..
@@Cle_M3
It looks like a floating bounce house. 😂
A clear bottom would be so cool, like maybe just a donut in the center thats clear on both sides to see through or just make the whole bottom clear to see into the water while on the tent.
You should see if they will make a sample one for you!
Would make a great part 2 video!!!
Like so he sees this! If you think it's a cool idea also!?!?!
Mav, I don't know anything about fishing, cooking, or traveling. But I enjoy your videos brother 🤙🏼 They give off a very therapeutic vibe and I appreciate the way you share your trips with us. Keep on truckin 🙌🏼😎
Mav always comes up with great camping ideas.

nothing better than watching mav on a nice gloomy day while eating dinner. Great times
crazy cos thats exactly what im doin lol
@@ecck2 great people do likeminded things 😂
@@ecck2me too 😂
Same. In TN.
What was for dinner ?
You're way braver than I am. I can see how the rocking would be fun, but I would totally fall into the water. I'd put it up in my back yard, though! I suck at setting up tents.
That's crazy there is only one port to fill that up. Pop a little bit you going down for sure. Looked cool
Good job Mav! I watch all your videos, keep up the good work!
You know its gonna be a good time when Mav drops a video
The Tent ⛺ LOOKS cool! 👍
I like this!! It was different to see a floating tent
Thank you for all your hard work Mav. Appreciate the entertainment over the years!
Interesting unit to sleep in. I'm just concerned that Mav didn't have a life vest, aka flotation device on him while paddling out.. And ropes all around his legs. A few people his age or a bit older drowned in the waters of the Boundary waters Canoe Area of N. E. MN ,this summer, most likely in this area. Come on Mav! set a better example ! And live to tell about it! We want a lot more of your adventures !! your buddy Adam's dad is one of my best friends since the 1980s.
Paul is awesome 😊
Hey mav bring a pilow case and inflate 2 of the camping pillows a little less then normal about 70 percent of the air shove them in a pillow case and they feel like a normal pillow and not a uncomfortable tube of air lol!
This has some old school Mav vibes.
Good show, Mav !
Thank you for the entertainment ! 👍
You slept like a baby, awake and crying every two hours.
Prolly like tryin'a sleep on Amtrax??!?
😂😂😂
Hi mav, that looks great fun & you didn't sink you have all the fun when u do there's camping trips great stuff.. Take care of yourself & it was good of you're friend being there on the main land, just in case you're boat driffied away from u when u were sleeping.😃
The one Finatic used came with a built in mattress and screened windows. But yours seems much more stable, there is no room in his for a table to cook on. It'd be easy enough to add screens to yours. Maybe make a small platform to set a cot on.
It’s a great night when mav drops a banger on us.
So every Sunday for the last year or so?
16:43 as a Mexican that's loved your video's i was in tears you are still invited to our BBQ so we can teach you how to say it correctly chili CON CARNE there is NO D in there 😂😢😂
Thanks for sharing this journey with me Mav . Safe travels and God bless Ya'll. Mucho Love from your friend in Michigan Tam ❤️ ♥️ 💕
oh, floating tent on the water! what a lovely video to watch, Mav your channel is always my inspiration, keep up the good work brother! ❤
I don't think that would be a good idea for Florida. a floating snack tray for gators .
Hey Mav, judging by this video, I think the ducks have some stiff competition for best float on the lake! 😂 That grenade pump was a plot twist - who knew inflating a tent could be so explosive? Also, props for not turning your floating tent adventure into a surprise swim session. Can’t wait to see what shenanigans you get up to next. Always keeping us on our toes (or should I say floaties?). Keep on trucking! 👍
You could use it as extra bedroom for company. Put it in the backyard. Need to fix someway to get air flow though. I'd stay in it. Fall or spring night would be excellent. Have a firepit. Pretty cool.❤❤❤❤
You should of brought the MRE with the add water heat packets and not worry of bringing the mini stove.
Sunday made. Thanks Mav!! Hello Mav fans. 😊
Am I the only one who thinks Mav should collaborate with the quiet nerd and his floating camper?!
Yeah. Would be cool. I can also see him with Steve Wallis and Joe Robinet.
@@lamb7Mav ran into Steve on one car ferry trip. It's awesome to see their vids from both sides of that. But yes something more planned would be awesomeness
Mav and Steve are my favorite 💙❤️
@@lamb7 Mav camped with Steve either last year or early this year
You're amazing, Mav! Kind of the thinking man's risk-taker! A fun watch!
Hey Mav. This is relaxing & very cool. When you come out there on the water in this ⛺ You definitely just chill.. I agree with the scared to light fire in there. Whoa! The ventilation is low! Do Enjoy, & keep on Trucking Mav.. ❤️😙🐞
I’m selfish wishing these videos were always an hour longer😅
Day 6 of asking for a shirt that says howdy on the front and keep on truckin on the back
I love it! We will see what we can do to make that a reality…
Going to sleep and never waking up due to drowning
These Mav videos always bring a smile to my face and joy
thankyou for uploading early for the people from Europe!
Mav's momma definitely did not approve of this idea.
You are right, I didn’t- but it was a cool adventure 😂
@@sherrylosjoosyou are spectacular! Thank you for making sure he is always safe🥰 God bless your family.
This is hilarious. 😂 You’ve outdone yourself, Mav.😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣right
So glad to hear you had a good friend on shore! Good thinking. The walkie talkies were a good idea, maybe even pack one of those can air horns , just in case there is an emergency and you need help NOW. Maybe a good idea to come up with meals to make without fire? But like you said all in all good job, Mav and on to the next adventure. Ps I was going to remind you your sleeping bag should float....BUT you said it lost air over night? Thank you again for the adventure. Keep on Truckin. See you on the flip side.
Sea to Summit has a lot of options for camp pillows. Luno just came out with one that has a cool and warm side.
