If I'm enjoying the peace and quiet of the woods and you come along with your Macroboom, I'm taking it from you and smashing it with a rock.
i agree go smash all this rubbish with a rock,
One of the best things about camping is the silence away from everything, and their #1 is....a boombox. Awesome guys.
*they're
@@joshuaschmitz Wrong, Mark Cramer is using the correct *Their in the correct context.
Their: Means belonging to. Example "This must be their car."
They're: A contraction of They Are. Example "They're getting a new car."
There: A position/place. Example "They got into a car accident over there."
Using all three examples in a sentence>
*They're* putting *their* new car over *there*.
You know what heats and cooks everything also without carrying a grill? Fire! I know it's crazy all you have to do is grab some wood and give it a spark and you have fire. It's the greatest thing.
:-)
Except you can't becuse 90% of the time there's a burn ban.
who the fuck takes a grill camping lmfao
wtf pays attention to a BB? if you know wtf you are doing burn wood.
Wow thanks :) that will save me carrying a propane barbeque up the mountian lmao
great just what we need in nature.. boomboxes
Wont be used because I'm about to go record a song or anything. I use music to help me get into character for Acting or to lay under my visuals in editing Film. Although I respect the artform of quality music, I'm a Method Film Actor & Filmmaker. I don't sing or use Apple products. Samsung and Amazon are my brands of choice. Facts. ✔
2021 looks like 🎭🎬🎥🌍🌎🌏🛅✈. Goodbye 2020. 📳🔇_________ (flatlined)
I actually have the Kodiak Swag amongst other tents, but this I gotta say is a fantastic piece of kit. It is heavy but its absolutely perfect for driving to a fishing location or a picturesque spot & setting up solo. I love it.
How much does the crazy thing actually weigh?
#1 The Kodiak Canvas Sleep system when packed is bigger than a large family tent. Why not just pack a 5 person tent and have more room. If you want a single tent, get a bivvy sack.
#5 I go backpacking to get away from arseholes blaring music.
I agree, especially when you are driving a pickup truck, the tent size isnt a problem, a 2 man tant would be half the price and pack smaller. I like the ventilation though.
People who take technology such as speakers camping are not getting the point of camping!
I'm thinking the Kodiak is not for backpacking.
As for #5, I'm with you on that one.
I'm an Aussie - and a swag is bulky and big, but it includes a (very comfortable) mattress, and you can roll your sleeping bag/pillow up in it as well. They are typically warmer and more waterproof than a large tent, and are made out of heavy duty canvas (i.e will last you a lifetime). They also setup in 30s-1min ready to sleep.
They are designed for single/couples travelling in a 4x4/overlanding type travel. A tent/bivvy isn't really comparable and is designed for a different purpose - lighter weight, thinner materials & you must keep your bedding seperate.
I can`t put into words how much i hate people who don`t use their headphones in public so that everyone is forced to hear their (mostly) stupid music...
I go camping especially for the silence and "untouched" nature...
Swag is good cause blankets, pillow, mattress, and the swag it self are in one bag. normally tied to the roof so you dont give a shit out big it is cause it's not inside your 4x4
The only remotly interesting was the baloon. I could see something like that connected to life-boats and vests.
Could also be handy for the alpine rescuers in North Sweden. It can be near impossible to find someone up in Lappland - and you cant count on working phone services either.
The bivybag was laughably clumpsy - why have a 1-man system thats bulkier than a system for 2 persons including sleepingbags?
The grill to big and to clumpsy for taking with you - and to small for home.
The filtersystem was to expensive.
The boom-box... well, I am not one for violence. It is wrong to hurt other people. But if someone started something like that when I was out camping (not happening - I never camp out anywhere else than in the middle of the woods), I would seriously consider to put that speaker in a dark bad smelling place on the owner.
Filter doesn't seem that expensive, $60 base and then $30 every 300 gallons. Not not that bad for what it does. It's about on par with other filters that do the same thing, but are larger with less flow.
for now katadyn combi is still my No.1 choice.sure its big, bulky and not great for single person backpacking, but works flawlessly and has some 13.000 gal filtration rating.
I agree on most of your comment and thoughts.
Might I add, why not solar strips on that balloon?
The grill is completely ludicrous.
One point we fully agree on is concerning the macrobox. I have only come across others once in my lifetime when camping. I assure you neither they nor I had any damn boombox on tow. Pretty sure I would be considering the same thing as you but I would make sure it was sideways.
ApocGuy It doesn't have a rating for viruses though.
The ceramic element in that is good for 13,000 gallons, but the carbon filter is only good for 106.
You could buy four individual of these for the same price as one of those and have a higher filter rating for destroying viruses.
+Raven1024 Seems like fear mongering. Has anyone using a current filter like the Katadyn, Pure, Lifestraw, etc had problems with viruses? Pretty sure if you are that concerned, you wouldn't venture out of your house.
5 Camping Gear Inventions You MUST HAVE --- if you hate everything about real camping
lmao! you nailed it right on the head!
For you kid camping out in the backyard or his bedroom. lol Although the Balloon if not to costly would be nice for on the water. It would have to be considerably cheaper than a PLB they are now about $250 and they notify the Coast Guard your exact location and almost all have a flashing strobe as well. Even the really good EPIRB which sends a distress beacon to a SARSAT satellite which automatically sends a Search and Rescue distress signal to the entire network and it has also has built in GPS so they will find you in a hurry. They also have a strobe and even the Class II can be activated by water. They are about $450 for a good one maybe a little more for a Class II.
Well... I like the idea of "roughing it", but I also like the idea of not getting diarrhea from drinking nasty water. So, I'll take the Pure2Go.
Glamping.
And want a hernia, given that the tent itself is 17 pounds.
A speaker is must have for camping? Lol enjoy the peaceful sounds of nature if you are going to camp.
Damn. If someone turns on that speaker near me I'll shot him.
" I'll Shot him " ....Ok princess sure you will . By the way is that any thing like shoot?
why not just listen to li'l natures new album; literally just horse flies and really annoying birds.
FlubberJam or, even better, just wear headphones.
Dude the rescue balloon is off the chain. I want one!
its also a scam
Doomtrigger really? So I thought maybe it was just a prototype and maybe there was a "kick starter campaign". You are saying its a total scam? I think the statement of this thing "staying in the air for 7 days" seems a little far fetched for sure.
I have found NO pictures of the real balloon what so ever.
I'm very certain this is a scam, especially because they didn't said a word about the development status.
The issue of it being radar reflective while just at 150 feet is rather useless unless someone is already in your immediate vicinity and is actually looking for you and knows what they are looking at.
I've worked and done a lot of travel since 2005 and I have seen balloons in some pretty far out places.
My response " That`s interesting " and I keep moving.
Just seeing what looks like a shiny party balloon in a far out place doesn't mean someone is in danger.
150 feet is too low to be a serious consideration if you are relying on a radar reflective device to give your location away.
Quite laughable actually - Who the hell goes camping and gets lost in a dead flat area ? I mean- REALLY ?
There is a reason that a helicopter at 3000 feet gets lost on radar at a certain distance from the radar installation.
It works line-of-sight and anything continually giving off reflections is filtered out or the radar beam raised so they aren't detected.
Same principal applies to Alarm systems with PIR units that are able to be set for non-detection of pets moving around the house.
Noevilea I learn something new everyday.
*Canvass Swag Tent:* A cross between a 1-man backpacking tent / bivy sack with a self-inflating mattress, and at least four times the volume and weight of both those things together. Seriously, I've never seen such a bulky and heavy 1-man system.
*Velocity Grill:* Seems like a pretty nice piece of gear for car camping. I like that it can efficiently burn wood that can be literally found almost anywhere rather than having to depend on gas canisters. Were I in the market for a new camp stove, I would definitely give this a serious look.
*RescueMeBalloon:* Given the ever-expanding range coverage of wireless coverage, I'm not seeing much use for this down in the contiguous 48. And "GPS is useless"? Since that's a fucking _satellite_ signal, short of one's device running out of juice, I really wonder where on the surface of this planet your GPS can't give you a location. Can someone tell me what I'm missing, or is that simply deceptive advertising?
*Pure2Go:* Despite what this promo would have potential investors/buyers believe, there are many filtration systems on the market (and for less money) that will eliminate everything right down to and including viruses. Filter or purification, whatever gets the job done - there's nothing new here, results-wise.
*MacroBoom:* For jerk-ass backpackers who want to drown out that irritating peace and quiet or those annoying bird songs when they're enjoying the great outdoors. And as an added bonus, you can ruin the experience for other backpackers around you who do like those things.
+AlbertaGeek DANG dude, keep this up: this comment style helps SO much!! Please do more!
Cameron Smith
Aww, you're making me blush!
I have an 8-man dome tent that packs into a 9 x 9 x 24 inch bag. According to Kodiak's website this 1-man tent packs into a 12 x 12 x 36 inch bag. It also weighs 17.5 lbs and costs almost $300. I bought my tent on sale at Dicks for 80 bucks.
Devilock79
Exactly. Sure, canvass is tough, but just how shitty do they expect people are going to treat their equipment?
About the RescueMeBalloon: I think that by "GPS is useless" inventors wanted to warn people that GPS isn't omnipotent savior and that it isn't a communication device - it helps in positioning you on the face of the planet and that's it, you may or may not have a location of the nearest house/motel/station, you cannot send that data to someone etc.
On the other hand, the product tried to get their funding on the Kickstarter and failed. So it's not a real available product.
Also, I don't think that Velocity Grill is something special - except for the car camping. In every other situation it's either a too heavy overkill or a big underperformer.
I like the waterproof features offered in the Kodiak tent.
Micro Boom, Why would you want to destroy the peace and quiet with a bloody boom box. Start playing that near me and you would get an ice axe through it! put on your headphones
Roysmrs, you said the exact same comment to Ker Plunk
Not to mention you'll probably attract hungry bears! Makes me wonder what will get the user killed first: the other angry campers or bears...
Paul Marshall and in Australia here the Aussie drop bear would getim here! hopefully!
Paul Marshall its made for beachgoers etc. its just an extra rugged box.
Having grown up in the mountains of Idaho I have noticed a severely drastic change. You can't even go to a calm lake anymore without some group of people who are terrified of silence blasting their shitty music on their boats as loud as possible or at their campsites even in the early mornings and late evenings. I have had to stop going to my most beloved places because it has become an epidemic of these disrespectful douche-bags (also of just people in general), they have pushed us into the the furthest remote locations as possible just to get away from them. To make it worse only less than 20 years ago everyone camped in modesty usually in tents or a small trailer at best. Now if music is not your problem these once peaceful places are packed with an over-sized rv's or trailers with 50 dirtbikes and fourwheelers zipping around constantly at everyone else's expense.
I know that my complaining will change nothing but I am heartbroken watching what has happened here and knowing that things are only going to get worse. Technology has blessed us and ruined us at the same time because nobody can just spend a few days in silence of solitude or the company of others.
i loved the baloon very simple but great idea
Forty years of outdoor living without a loudspeaker. How did I survive?
Pure 2 go and the balloon s.o.s are really cool.
NEW CAMPING VIDEO: ua-cam.com/video/ong_u56whAc/v-deo.html
Fall is quickly approaching... but there is still plenty of time before camping season comes to a close. Before you hit the unbeaten path, consider checking out the latest installment of this camping series! Enjoy!
Autumn not Fall.
The Future Is Now where do I buy these items? Great inventions, especially the balloon with a beamer locator. What about the cost...are they affordable for everyone?
Thanks for information video.
What is the *title* to the music? playing in the background at No.2 purification kit.
Jeanette Hamilton as
I liked the Kodiak canvas tent and the SOS balloon system, although I personally think they should have actually deployed one to show people what to expect when one is launched, what it looks like, how it's done, etc. You know, all the things people want to know about this type of product that can only be answered by actually LAUNCHING one.
Kodiak Canvas Swag Tent: way to heavy and big for a single person tent! 17.5lbs!!!
Velocity Grill: gosh, who wants to carry that huge thing AND power supplies? Maybe fine when camping with a caravan but backpacking? forget about that!
SOS balloon: seriously a VERY good idea and probably cheaper than EPIRBs - yet someone has to see it while an EPIRB will call for help via satellite.
Pure2go: basically the purifier Sawyer should have built in the first place - very similar design, just a few improvements
MacroBoom: why?!
The number 5 is fantastic! I have thought of this design for people who are in an airport and their flight has been canceled and the next plane will be in 7 or 8 hours. Would be great to get some rest while waiting on your next flight. Congrats, I hope you sell a million of them!
seriously...with the pack size of that kodiak thing you might as well bring a 4 man tent ...
ocharni I thought the same
It is neither fish nor fowl. Who'll buy it?
ocharni I'd rather sleep in the truck
It must be a completely different camping scene in the US, most people in AUS use a swag when camping!
Tyler Mullens Thats not so. Most working stationhands etc use swags. Other people use tents if camping or similar items.
The music festival use for the balloon thing is quite funny because I was doing this with an old fishing reel, helium baloons and glowsticks 20 years ago. Much easier to find my tent among thousands in the dark while under the influence.
I'd like to see an experiment for pure2go
Drink from the African or Brazilian water
Very cool! I want all of it. There was a kid at the local skatepark riding the bowl while wearing a backpack with speakers. Looked so funny. Might as well be an 80's boombox while trying to ride.
Swags are perfect for 4wheel driving and are far better than tents for traveling because they are so quick and easy to set-up and roll back up, They are pretty heavy especially the double swags I've got, plenty of room inside though.
I would say more for vehicle born camping/overlanding
If you have a bivy tent, aren't they used mostly by hikers and backpackers? That 17.5 (!) pounds would be too much for them. And are there not roomier tents that can be used by 4wheel drivers? The easy open and set up pop tents come to mind. It was a good idea and had a great look to it, but it needs to be constructed of a lighter fabric that is durable enough.
Those Rescue me balloons are pretty cool.
if u bring a speaker camping and your next to me be ready for an Axe to go through it☺😊
my Grandad had the EXACT same rescue balloon idea a few years ago, his had clear outer plastic and a the 3 faces in each segment formed a retro-reflector to reflect light/radar.
for the cooker, ever heard of jetboil?
Kodiak Canvas is bigger than my 70 l ruck!!! Snugpak Quart is a bag, bivvy and liner...fits in the bottom of my pack.
I kind of wanted to see the balloon deployed just to see it work properly.
All he had was a bb gun co2 cartridge in that thing that ain't going to keep that thing in " the air for weeks " . LOL
That"thing" hasn't been built yet, it's a conceptual idea, there's no such thing as a 'Rescue Me Balloon' yet
They need to add locator beacon technology
and he said you could put it up at festivals wouldn't that mean that every time you loose your mates you'd get rescued in a helicopter
Theo Volz me too!
The swag is very popular in Outback Australia but its not made for hiking etc. Its made for throwing in the back of your vehicle if you are going away overnight or for a few days, prhaps mustering cattle or an event that means you needs a bed..Most people like a comfortable bed and tailor it to suit them. Its usually waterproof, insect proof, wind proof and warm and we don't have any large predators like cougars, wolves and bears.
Good thing they had a truck to bring in that dwankie gear Kodiak Swag' which weighs in around 20 pounds, not to mention the cost.
Danny Fubar it's not even innovative. Pretty much everyone in Australia has a swag like that.
Normally, I find channels like this a running advertisement for nearly useless "solutions" searching for a problem.
This time, I think the SOS balloon an absolutely brilliant idea and a true solution.
pity its a kickstarter thats dead in the water hey
I'm an Aussie. I've had a swag for almost twenty years. at the moment I have one that can sleep two people. we don't call them a swag tent its just a swag. they may be big and bulky but we would rather be comfortable in the wind rain or under the stars. plus you just put it in the back of your 4wd anyway and its always made. check out oz trail or Burke and wills. everyone has one or has used one. the one in this video isn't even an Aussie brand!
wont argue that, but for many others(continental US, most of the europe) good bivy sack or lightweight tent is more than enough.
Yeah exactly mate, I've got 2 doubles and there is nothing better. People here just don't get it.
+Paul I love mine perfect by yourself in summer with the top pulled back or better in the winter with a naked bed buddy hahaha. a mate had a tent cot and soon changed to a swag.
The pure 2 go water filtration system comes in handy camouflage kit bag which makes it easy to find in the late afternoon.
People in sleeping bags and tents are like soft tacos 🌮 to the bear world. 🐻
Toco.yellll.lol
Yelp
Taco yelllll
I always take a 50 inch television and home cinema system with me when I go hiking in the Yukon.
The tent is huge, heavy and opens on the top. Have fun getting out in the rain and carrying it around. Did the designers ever camp themselves or just orderded the most expensive materials and designed a coffin?
Not that it really matters, but in the Aussie bush, rain isn't often much of a problem. So the earliest swags were just a bedroll, you'd have it on the back of your horse and you just roll it out and it's ready. Leaves you more time to get the fire going and boil your billy. Modern swags evolved to keep the many small annoying and deadly creatures out of your bed and worst case scenario, even keep you dry enough to get some sleep if it rains. Not suited to backpacking, but still ideal for motorbike touring.
Super fun ideas!
It would've been nice to see that balloon deployed. Will it make it up through heavy forest? The signal from my personal locator beacon does!
watch billy bombproof or Atlas Survival Shelters they are cool too
If it was born in the heart of the outback how come they named it kodiak?
Drop bears mate ; )
Because they're full of shit.
We call them "Swags" down under. I guess it's a marketing ploy for the states or they can't use the Swag name. Kodiak sounds better than Swag
This guy is so frickin stupid
+Thomas Ennis fuckin not fricken
That rescue me balloon is a great idea
The Balloon is a really good idea. But what is the strength of the tether? If I deploy it during a storm or a storm comes up before I get rescued is the line going to break? Can it be repacked or do you have to get a new one?
all great questions
I think it's a good idea, but there are already systems out there that are way more advanced and more effective and reliable.
There are EPURB devices which are smaller than the balloon and will work more reliably. The only thing they need is a satellite connection, which I would argue is easier to get than placing the balloon visibly.
Some can turn on automatically when dropped in water (e.g. for sailers).
They will contact radio / satellite emergency networks, act as a positioning beacon and if they have a GPS they will also transmit the exact location to the emergency networks. You can add personalised information like emergency contacts.
From these global networks the "mayday call" will be forwarded to local rescue operations and you *will* be rescued in the fastest way possible, no matter where you are in the world.
In contrast, the balloon will only stay up so many hours and in that time somebody has to be within a distance of a few miles *and* he has to notice the balloon *and* he has to get the hint. Then *this guy* still needs to inform rescue operations, which he may or may not be able to do quickly.
TheMasturCheef
Maybe add a SOS beacon to it to transmit on a radio frequency. The problem with EPURB is cost, and not easily usable in mountains where loss of site to satellites
is common.
EPIRS cost almost $500 and are for marine use. Even PLBs are almost $300, while this balloon will cost
I like the balloon for the fact that it is cheaper than most electronic or satellite systems; can be seen by people that may not be monitoring electronic systems, who might be able to render aid; can be used as a non emergency beacon for campsites; and the balloon may have an added psychological boost for those who do deploy it in an emegency, as something they can see and know is working, as opposed to a purely electronic system, a boost which may be essential for survival.
That balloon is great,it's even got SOS written on the sides so that would be rescuers don't just ignore the bright orange flashing thing they can see over the treeline.Way to go!
they had no prototype yet ... that is a CG demonstration here - you'd need helium or hydrogen to make it float
It maybe good for finding walkers in rough country but I think its best use would be to be built into life vests
i like the baloon, but they dont show it really working. they only show cgi images. ideas are great but is the product working??
Good video, thanks!
The first one, the Kodiac tent, is a human burrito roll for bears!!
Imagine you setup camp in the rain. by the time you enter trough that top door, it is guaranteed you will be sleeping in a bathtub.
balloon is absolutely brilliant!
I really don't understand people who use such speakers in the woods. I mean... You want to be close to the nature and leave chaos behind or do you want to take your home and noises with you? For a true camper there is no fun in such devices.
I go camping to have fun 4x4 drink and shoot not in that order but leaving chaos lol come on give me a brake.
Awww! My dog house tent didn't cost anywhere close to $300. It cost me $30 on sale a decade ago. I still use it. Perfect backpacking tent. Not too heavy. Has a vestibule for storing gear or cooking in crappy weather. I hit is with seam sealer every so often. No rot. I've replaced the poles a couple times. Still going strong.
I got camping all the time and i'm not getting any of these
agreed the tent is too big to carry on camping/hike trips
will be nice to have a small eletric generator to recharge battery using wind, solar or something based on the stirling engine circle
ppl make stirling generators using tin cans and fire is easy to get when camping
+lucianosschlieper yeah or really high capacity powerbanks with solar power
I've been looking for something like that though. I camp all over the country and a lot of times I'm just looking for something I can unroll and sleep in. This is something between a tent and a bivy. True, it's really built too heavy to be practical for anything but car camping, but has the right idea. A bivy can get pretty flipping annoying if the trip is more than a few days the weather sucks. A tent is great if you're someplace for a few days, but it can add a lot of time when I'm just spending the night before moving on. I've setup my one man tent a couple hundred times and can do it fast, but after a few days I just dread the breakdown and stuffing/rolling bag, pad and organizing all the related crap - be nice to just roll and go.
1Howdy1 i got a auto foldable tent or how you call it which can be setup on 3 seconds
wow! number one... how it would make me so happy to bike 100 km and have someone boom box nature...
lol. Velocity grill attempts to give the impression he is hand drilling the holes, with a handheld drill, for each unit. lol, how can you hike with that thing
Exactly :D It really isn't enough compact size to be a must have camping gear :D
Yeah I noticed the part with the guy pretending to drill holes... lol
The rescue balloon is a great idea.
That tent has all the normal tent features; it’s just shaped differently.
It and the Balloon are the only two that anyone would likely buy unless a rich prepper he may buy the water deal but even the cheaper ones like I have kill viruses and most do or they say they do same as this one says it does.
It's also not free standing, so good luck in loose, sandy, or heavy rock soils with little to no tree cover. I carry a free standing 3 person 3 season tent, The old lady, dog and me all sleep warm and comfy at 9,000 ft in in late fall. Oh and it weights less than 4 lbs and takes up like maybe 4.5" x 20" packed.
the pure water going into a plastic bottle. Wonderful!
* Glamping Gear Inventions for the American market.
I'm sorry, I see all of these products as entirely.. Useless.
I suppose it's dependant on how experienced you are in the wild. Edit - Or rather on your style of camping.
i like the water filter . the sos balloon is pretty cool too . the rest ? not so much .
#1: Umm, no thanks. I'll just sleep in a traditional bedroll that I can make for $110 instead of the $300 MSRP.
#2: It's a great concept, but it means you'd have to have hardwood chunks to get the kind of efficiency they talk about and that's just not feasible. If it works well with pine or fir, then it might be worth the $160.
#3: No damn way. The more parts there are, the more there are to foul up when you need it the most. I'd rather stick to a pencil flair gun and the portable smoke beacon that Creek Stewart teaches you how to build here on UA-cam (SOS: How to Survive - Making a Mobile Signal Fire).
#4: Bullshit. A 2 oz bottle (virtual lifetime supply) of potassium permanganate is around $5 on amazon and it kills everything in under 5 minutes. Don't like the taste? Add a bit of drink powder to the water.
#5: No. Just, no. You wear that shit and anyone who sees you will wonder why the fuck you're even out in the scrub instead of back in the city where you belong.
Angelus_Solus this comment is everything I wanted to say.
I think that rescue baloon is the best.
Kodiak Canvas equipment is nice, but problem is that big car is the part of this equipment.
You'd think the 'Pure2Go' water purifier would be any other colour other than dirty, bug infested, baby poo, brown. I'd prefer to be drinking from something which reflected the fresh, clean decontaminated water the product is supposed to provide. Branding facepalm.
Excellent point. Reminds me of a restaurant that opened up near my home a long time ago, "The Cuttingboard" .......
InDisskyS131 Just to remind diners what happens to the animals on their plates! Lol.
global001 Yes, and to remind them of the serious amounts of bacteria an average cutting board carries.
InDisskyS131 Lol, yes I hadn't thought of that.
+global001 ; That color scheme is desert camo - it's all the rage with the tacticool crowd.
I'm a big fan of the Pure2Go purifier for the fact that it also kills viruses and not just bacteria. It also prevents the growth of bacteria and viruses from growing in the purifier itself after use which is a major problem with many on the market. Of course some others on the market have a big base due to the time they have been around, but they do not all kill viruses like Pure2Go. If you take a look at their website they list out all the testing information as well that comes directly from the lab, so it's definitely not just fake information.
I feel like people who make these things never actually go backpacking/camping... real camping not that drive on a campground and camp out of an r.v. camping.
The rescue me balloon is genius. I was a commercial fisherman and I love the outdoors so from my experiences alone I would recommend EVERYONE carry one in tge ocean or forest
Yep, I liked it too.. Sadly the lack of any actual demonstration of deployment or a single real picture was evidence of yet another failed kickstarter project.
not a single real shot of the balloon.
I was watching prepping videos but now I'm here
Camping? What happened to going out to enjoy nature & living a bit rough for a while? The balloon is the only thing that would be helpful.
It was a good idea. I like it, although wondering if can use in harsh weather. Might be the reason why it's no available.
For a single-person tent, that's extremely expensive, and heavy. Tou'd need the truck to carry it, and in that case, why not put a cover over the bed and sleep in the truck?
@Jake Sangria just buy a lightweight bivy
Interesting stuff!
If there's anything worse than a commercial disguised as helps, it's a multi-part commercial..
Or even worse commercials within a commercial..
This whole thing is a joke.. Tha idea of camplng is to get away from civilization, not yo take it with you..
How much does this stuff weigh, especially the grill with three large batteries, flavored wood and accessories.? Who is going to pack it or do you hire porters/sherpas to haul it for you.?
Mrhycannon yeah all this gear is for people who want to go "camping"
Not people who want to go camping
Love the Rescue Me balloon.
5 Camping gear inventions i MUST HAVE?!?!! i dont even camp! WTF?!
It should be "I must have" and "I dont even camp" because I is always capital if you're talking about yourself
capitals are for cocksuckers.
Sorry bro can't do that I'm too far from you. :P
You should camp, it's freedom
Look at Australia's swag bag same idea
yep Ive something that looks the same and have had it for years
Love how people are talking shit about a speaker. If you are close enough to other "campers" to hear them then you aren't camping. You just pitched a tent in a parking lot essentially. Dont have the audacity to complain about noise when you put your tent 15ft from others. Jazz and classical go great with nature by the way. Love how humanity has shunned any individuality. Can't ride a bike, hike, camp, and do anything without some douche telling you how your doing it wrong (even though the "right" way has no basis in logic)
Not to sound rude, mate, but the basis in logic here is that most people who go camping in the wilderness do so to get out into a world of natural sound, peace & quiet. This can be reflected in the upswing of popularity & copycatting of UA-cam videos and channels based on wilderness survival and camping that lack speaking, and sounds other than nature, as a branding style. So it makes little sense to develop and market a rather large (macro) boombox to this demographic. It makes even less sense to list it on a 5 must have camping gear list, as click bait to make ads profit. While the boombox is designed well, and surely has useful applications in both urban, rural, and wilderness settings, the ad itself, which depicts people carrying it around mostly on day-hikes in the wilderness, probably does not ping on most camper's "must haves" lists effectively.
The Mighty Bearcat I won't be buying it. While I enjoy music on my trips, that looks too heavy. Point is all you people hating on it are posers and imposers. Poser hikers trying to impose on others joy. My top five list is not your top five list and all of UA-cam is click bate, get over it. I'm not out there for a day hike, I'm out there for weeks on my bicycle and in the woods so I tend to get bored and listen to music, podcasts, or watch TV on my phone. Most of the comments are how all these "hikers" would confront someone with a speaker one way or another and that is not what being a hiker is about at all for anyone. Hiking, backpacking, camping, ect for me is to escape from reality which mostly includes society and the people like this within. If anyone came up to me to impose their opinions on me in the middle of nowhere, they better pray I'm already in a good mood. That's not some UA-cam threat that's just a cautionary hypothetical to help you understand why it might not be such a good idea to tell people what to do especially when no one else is around.
that kodiak thing is huge when packed
if you want these fancy, heavy shit you should just stay home
I don't think i be taking camping advice from someone named andreikilla. But thats just me.😆😆😆
LOVE the swag.
All this stuff say's to me is weight,
When they say back-packing, they mean packing in the back of your truck.
Weight don't matter when you got 35's and four wheel drive.
That is simply brilliant "If it rains or wind threatens, simply zip up the cover and you're nice and protected" Is this feature only available on Kodiak Canvas Swags? The "Rescue Me Balloon" is a great idea but I think you will have to share some on the credit with "SIMS"
good cars dont break down lol
The balloon makes sense as does the water purification system. The other three items are for car camping .
who the hell would need a speaker, Why?
Me. Extended solo trips in the wilderness. It is comforting to hear sounds other than your own thoughts after a while. Something most of you will not likley experience, due to fear of going solo for weeks.
In case you need to listen underwater. Didn't you notice that it's water proof. Because everyone loves to listen to music underwater. JK.
-- Geeze, that Kodiak Swag tent looks like it weighs around 50 pounds! Mu 7X7X5 foot dome tent weighs far less than that, is dry, comfortable, ventilation, a rain fly if needed and has a hell of a lot more room than the Kodiak thing! It's sized for 3-4 men. Even my single tent is bigger and far lighter than the Kodiak. Granted, neither one of them has a built in mattress, but you can buy small ones like that that inflate by themselves and still wont weigh that much. I looked it up the kodiak tent and they go for around $230.00 What a rip off!
-- I like the idea of the "Rescue Me Balloon" but I don't see it for sale any where. Seems there was a KickStarter for it in 2014, but 5 years later... nothing?!
My only gripe about it is you can't use it in a Red Wood or Sequoia tree forest. Those trees grow to be more than 150 feet tall. No one would see you. Also, how long does the balloon last once inflated?
-- Pure2Go doesn't seem like a bad thing. And it is actually for sale. They seem to run from around 20 bucks to about 50. Not a bad thing to have in a real emergency situation, but I would still boil the water afterward if possible.
what crap. must have? must advertise, must hate camping, must not know arse from elbow.
For the American car campers. Do yourself a favour and buy a swag (Kodiak sleep system)
I've had mine over 10 years now, I've slept in -5c in it in a clear open paddock. I've slept in + 40 both times I was comfy. It becomes your cocoon of sorts. I roll my clothes, pillows (have a double), and blanket all in mine and I'm ready to go away at the drop of a hat.
That's a basic swag...
Umm, no it's not. A basic swag is a waterproof canvas tarpaulin you wrap you and your sleep pad in like a fecken burrito.
Where do I find the _"few pieces of flavored hardwood"_ while camping for days in the High Sierra with your grill? And how does something born in the Australian outback get named after the Kodiak brown bear of North America? Wouldn't _kangaroo_ be more appropriate for a sleeping pouch anyway?
can you just be quit about the speaker big deal if you don't like music in the woods just move along.
Exactly, the internet is the place to express your ignorant opinion, not in the wilderness. Easy to talk tough here where the laws of man apply, rather than in the wilderness where they really don't. There will be no moderator, law official or ability to delete your comment out there.
*quiet
I'm referring to the Rescue Balloon, which is actually a great idea.
i'm going to troll this and say you are just trying to sell some mediocre products.
Not trolling, telling the truth.
I like the rescue me balloon 🎈
Where can I get that Rescue Me Balloon? What a great idea
If cycling I would use a small speaker, but also try to be considerate of others. If hiking you can use a lighter pair of headphones, you don't need as much hearing as when you are cycling, and you won't disturb others. Just be aware of you surroundings.
"5 Camping Gear Inventions You MUST HAVE"
anyone else just skip to the comments section to read the "if you need this shit, you're camping wrong" comments?
I like the Pure2go, every other water device doesn't kill viruses but this one does.
The swag is not a ‘tent’. Its a portable bed. Nearly all stationhands and owners etc own one and it will usually last their whole life. It is used when you need to sleep out while mustering for a week or long trips mending fences, checking feed and water supplies etc or lastly when bush partying where the nearest accommodation is hundreds of miles away. They are largish, heavy etc and not meant for hiking or recreational camping etc. They are carried in station vehicles and might occasionally be carried on a horse if necessary though those are usually lighter ones. It is a work item primarily, not recreational. Necessary to keep out snakes and other creepy crawlies plus rain etc.
58Kym exactly 👍 love mine 🇦🇺👌
Patriot Jefferson It could be, depending on what bedding etc you are using. Australian swags don’t usually have legs but that would be useful in very cold weather to get you off the heatsucking ground!
The last fucking thing I want with me when I'm out camping is a fucking portable boom box!
