Inflatable

[brained]

This is an idea that's been rattling around in my head for some time. Looks like somebody is going to try to go commercial with it! No word on price yet but for my purposes this could compete with my choice of a large tent cot (cabelas or kamprite).

Some of the comments make a good point.
Won't it just cave in when the temperature goes down at night?

That's the reason I dumped my air mattress.

"The worst part about camping, aside from the occasional bear maul? Having to deal with pain in the a** tent poles"....



That's what I love about my Quickdraw.....

Throw it up in the air, and when it hits the ground it's ready.....

Nemo tents have been doing this for a few years, and the military for even longer. Not a new concept by any means.
