A good idea, or crap?

[Hunting Solutions]

I know a few of the guys on SD like to camp over on their leases, using minimal equipment and tarps/hammocks.

To this end, and subject to thorough testing, do you guys think this product could be popular?

Nothing to do with my business but would consider stocking it if it was any good.

Clever idea similar to some of the fishing bivi's ive seen, i know a lad who used 1 this year for the odd festival he did mention that he would tarp it if looking like rain!! i think he gave 130 quid.

Cracking idea, and it will sell I'm sure, but I'll stick with my bivvy bag & rollmat

I like that be ideal for me set up near one of my bait stations when I stag on to wait for Charlie what sort of money woul these go for roundabout

I think they are around 130 quid, but I would need to test out the waterproof qualities before I would be convinced.

As we have a lease at Eskdalemuir, I'm pretty sure that finding rain won't be a problem!

looks a great idea to me,

 

[see it shoot it]

cracking idea,they do look a little short,can a 6 plus big man get in one ??

 

[private fraser]

Any idea of the dimensions, especially length?. It looks a little on the short side for the taller of us. Good idea though, it should sell well I think.

Pipped at the post

That fabric doesnt look snore proof HS, it'd rip in an instant due to the sonic boom from your snoring

 

[fizzbangwhallop]

Surely with the angle of the sides and the shape of the outer door and window sections you'll get rain hitting the mesh and coming in the door wasn't fully closed?

Or am I seeing that wrong?

I looked a one at the midland it looked a proper job room for a 6 footer and was told they are waterproof.

what ever turns you on, look a bit pish for the price and it's huge to carry and pack in the car! just saying

Yep +1 on that. Plus room for kit. Would want a pretty decent waterproof bag to go under it or perhaps set up a poncho to the side to store kit under. Also in the winter or any time with a chilli breeze that thing is going to be very cold. Being elevated. But for the summer, nice.

 

[limulus]

The bag it comes in should be half zipped so it can be used as a canopy around the base giving storage and wind proofing the underneath.

Keep the opinions coming lads, the more the merrier. If the general opinion is 'shyte', then it goes on the 'Don't stock this' list.

failing to see what it does that a good hooped bivi and tarp wouldn't?

​Well, for me, having worked loads of game fairs, the fact that it gets you off the damp ground and has a built in bed, is a major plus point.

fair enough , i like to travel light if i'm on foot and if i'm not then why not carry a big ol tent you can stand up in? i'm not saying it's not a good bit of kit i just cant see where it fits?
