A wet, bad idea

Onkel Neal · 08-21-19, 05:41 AM

Holy cow, for real? Tents on a river? I can imagine waking up in the middle of the dark night, wet in sinking tent, frantically trying to find the zipper to get out before I sink to the bottom entangled and wrapped in nylon sheets and camping gear.

Or waking up to a faint and growing roar of a waterfall....

Good grief, what a bad idea.

It does not look like an especially bright idea

Ot: then think of modern cars with self locking doors, electric lockers and windows... and then falling into a river, or lake.. I alway wonder what people think who 'invent' such clever ideas.

And if one of those floating fire pits were to drift too close to your tent......

You can call your tent Titanic Neal.

Probably be quite appealing to bed wetters.

Just as long as the Indian Navy doesn't buy some.

Beat me to it dang it!

Interesting concept but a hard nope from me. Don't do camping as I'm not the outdoor type beyond getting on my road bike for 30km every weekend
