Wow.  Uh.  That video is interesting.  Gee, someone is trying a bit too hard to be “extreme” or something.

How are they connecting the multiple “pods” together – hard to tell from the video? Could that work for securing tarp doors closed instead of zippers or the “cross-over flap” Zpacks design?

Couldn’t make it through the whole video after narrator said #1 is less than any pther number. Geez….dumbass!

375 gram sleeping bag that goes down to 25 degrees F? Is that physically possible without being a mutant?

That was pretty entertaining. I admire the ability to go all-in on something, even if it’s stupidity.

The end product isn’t quite as stupid as the narration style.

Kinda like an unholy combo of a Rainbow + Klymt V + a BA sleeve.

How they attached was mystery. That part didn’t look especially convincing.

Is it bad that I absolutely loved that video…not the product…but that video is completely awesome.

Have you been working with a lot of glue lately, Steve? :-)

AB-SO-LUTE-LY hilarious video!!!  But I don’t think this belongs in “Gear” — more appropriate in “Chaff”, LOL.

I didn’t study the video too closely, but in one shot, I noticed a few small plastic black toggles hanging down from the edge that would connect to the next tent… if one tent simply toggles onto the next tent with a few toggles, then the folks inside are going to have a nasty surprise when it rains…

Attaching one tent to the next in a waterproof way would be quite complex, and involve roofing principles like “flashing”.  It would best be accomplished IMHO by having the connection at the highest point, then using flashing to guide the water down over leak-proof surfaces.  As with a flat roof, any ponding or pooling of water would result in disaster sooner or later…
