This one cracked me up. I clicked on the ad because I’d never seen an insulated tent design and thought it was an interesting concept. But I started laughing when I saw that the 2 person design is 16.5 lbs “trail weight”. I think some tent manufacturers just need to be honest that their tent is for backyard camping or car camping only. Additionally- NOT WATERPROOF! I just thought someone else here might like a chuckle. https://www.cruaoutdoors.com/products/crua-cocoon-maxx-insulated-tent?fbclid=IwAR1PWUB-Awn-ARtWZW12YjOpkXn04F3L95K2BQLCKnlP-ESr_hks-GKb5NQ

Wonderful!
And only 198019 mm wide! Impressive.
The length, at 2.032 m, is far too short though.

Hum … no ventilation either, although it looks as though it should seal up real tight. But then, who needs fresh air anyhow?

But glowing reviews on the web …

Cheers

How ducedly clever!
