That was my favorite part too.

I give anyone props who follows their dream and is innovative. Unfortunately they have more work to do getting the weight down the the price point WAY down to make it practical.

The weight was more on my personal reaction after reading through the page. I do like the idea of it but aside from the weight, the setup looks too complicated

After a day of hiking, I prefer simplicity in setup. IMO, nothing comes close to the ease of setup when you have whoopies, dutch biners, and dutch clips

Ah, something like i'm talking about would never work, who was i kidding??

What colour is the sky in your world?

Was that for 1 or 2 peeps. For 2 the gymnastics could get interesting, ;-)

At least Cannibal can have his two boys pack it in for him

Maybe all that sleeping on the ground has addled their brains! 1400...seriously? What does the tent do, pitch itself?

That was for 1 person. But for only $1800 you can invest in the Omega which is a 2 person they are working on. I'm sure it only packs in at a very reasonable 23lbs and sets up in a mere 45 minutes - 1 hour 15 minutes.

For these prices and weights it better come fully furnished and have it's own appliances.
