Multifunctional Outdoor Gear: The Flying Tent

Flying Tent and Logo

Now I love outdoor gear. A minute or two browsing online, quickly turns into hours. An put me in an outdoor shop and I’m like a kid with candy. Sometimes I even dream about it! But what I don’t love is having several items that all do the same job but just in slightly different ways. I hate the waste, the expense, the extra storage space needed and the challenge that comes with having to choose which bit of gear is best suited to each adventure. Take camping stoves: in the ideal world I would have a multi-burner for car camping, a liquid fuel stove for international adventures and longer trips, and a canister stove for lightweight backpacking. And I’m sure there are some of you reading this that have all three, plus a few more types too!

It would be easier if I could reign myself in and focus on just one outdoor activity, but alas, there are so many great things to be doing that I can’t possibly narrow the fun to just one. And therein lies the problem. By definition, outdoor lovers generally just love spending time in the wild. And the more suited their gear is to each specific adventure, the more fun and enjoyment they will get out of their time adventuring. So for those who are constantly fighting the urge to accumulate yet more lovely and exciting gear and gadgets, you might be interested in the coolest piece of camping gear that I’ve seen in a long time.

This is an item that will definitely make it not only into my dreams, but also onto my slowly filling shelf of super cool outdoor gear. Why? Well, being the world’s first all-in-one floating tent, bivy tent, hammock and poncho might be enough of an answer. It also sets up in only 7 seconds!
