The problem with the great outdoors has always been the lack of full mobile connectivity, electric lighting, and a power source for your laptop.

Its called a ****ing RV park dumbass's. The point of camping is to rough it. You want full mobile connectivity and electric lighting, get a motel room.
Great, the tent lights up. you know what gets attracted to light? ****ing bugs. Enjoy your bug infested glow in the dark tent.
This is for the idiots who leave their crowded neighborhood to go to the crowded pay as you pay park and dare to call that **** camping.

Probably not more that a thousand if even that as the tech being used is commonplace and cheap. My biggest concern would be the thief factor for it. No one would steal a normal tent as its easily affordable for about anyone to buy and so a crappy target of theft. Hell I've seen really nice 2 man tents for 19.99 and 4 man tents for well under a hundred dollars. This technoweenie one however would have me wondering if it would still be there after a long days hike. |

all you really need when you go camping is this, flint stone, sleeping bag and fishing gear. maby food depending on where your going, any more than that makes it suck

Now that's what I'm talking about! We outta share strategies. What do you do about rain? Noticing that you didn't place clothes in there, do you prefer a loin cloth also or do you just go in the buff? How about encounters with a bear? What's your favorite plant, or bark, for ass wiping? Since the knife has no compass and no geographical map was included, do you just go by the moss factor, sun position, and stream direction for finding your spot? What's your favorite way to purify water? Is that knife suitable for larping? |

Edited by: Kingnuts on 26/06/2009 00:55:50 Yeah but his attitude makes me want to shoot him in the face (in game).
EDIT: Also since people would like to sleep in a tent, im sure you can turn the light off.

Oh so sorry if I offended some people (no I'm not for those who don't understand internet sarcasm)
That article is insulting, all talking about the wilderness being a 'problem'. You want power plugs and internet in the great outdoors buy a ****ing tent trailer or a 5th wheel and go join your neighbors in the pay to play parks with your cushy beds and air conditioned interiors. At least you'll be getting your moneys worth then.
For some of us camping is supposed to mean dumping your electronics for a week and enjoying what nature brought us, not viewing it through the webcam of your laptop. You want to play video games outside then grab a ****ing extension cord and walk out onto the patio.
And its not like they're inventing anything new. Ever heard of a AC/DC adapter? Gee willicers, just plug it in your cigarette lighter and charge up! As for lights...well...I gots me a nifty little invention called a lantern! And the best is part is that it's mobile in case I gotta **** in the woods at 2 am in the morning. Plus it works just as well in the tent as it does out of it.

This isn't bad, but I prefer the article before it with the psuedosonograph ():
"There's something fascinating, and oddly reassuring, about waking up and seeing a nice chart of what you've been doing for the last few hours while you've been knocked out."
EVE players could sympathize with that part...

Actually I think that camping or any activity for that matter is left up to how much fun it is for the individual. Some like to go camping in a loin cloth and a bowie knife and others like to go in a solar tent with built in lights and electrical sockets. Either is perfectly fine so long as that person is enjoying themselves. Personally I enjoy a tent, a half gallon of whiskey (Works well for drinking and starting fires), a knife, a loaf of bread, brick of cheese, and a large package of beef jerky. Oh and a sleeping bag with a rolled up par of jeans for a pillow.

I'm with the OP, but things have been changing for a while.
Many campgrounds (not just the RV ones) have made a business out of upgrading amenities, including additions similar to theme-park attractions to keep people "interested". KOA is extremely busy with that, right now.
There's even a big market in "Glamping", with some luxury (furnished) tents commanding up to $500 a weekend.
So yah... people do it in all kinds of different ways, but I can't say I really care for the electronics & electrics that are popping up all over. If I've made the effort to head to a remote area, then hike another 20 miles to get myself under a pristine sky free of the light-pollution of cities & towns - the last thing I wanna see is what appears to be a radioactive beacon the size of a VW Beetle a mile away.
With my luck (and the air so clear) I'd probably hear one half of a cellphone conversation all night long too, carried through the air.
Oh well. I still enjoy trying to find that perfect away spot.

Thinking about it this will probably sell best to suburban dwellers who want to get the kids out of the house for the summer months but still want them nearby to keep an eye on them.

I like it, it's lacking a gun rack though.
Now all we really need is a self-pitching tent that also packs itself the hell back up, this is especially important since my back is typically broken in five different places after sleeping in one.

What a bad idea. Thats not camping. I would just spend my time camping playing EVE if I had that. No, I go to the woods to get away from that ****. I bring a phone but keep it off until an emergency occurs. This is unnecessary. |
