I like the idea. $130 is a bit pricey but I'm sure it's well worth it if you put it to enough use.

Default This would be great...

In the back of a pick up truck! A mini camper! Store equipment under it and sleep like a baby.

I've done something similar with a GI cot and poncho.

Thanks for sharing. This absolutely has potential.

I had a chance to check out one of these last weekend at my local gunshow. While it is very well made & as stated before, perfect in a vehicle that's got room for storage, but not for sleeping. I personally wouldn't buy one. It is too heavy for a pack, & too unweildy for any decent length trek at all.

It looks very comfortable and great for car-camping, it seems a bit too bulky to carry around on a camping trip. Bit pricey, too.
