Anybody else think the people most likely to drop $1,500 on a tent-boat are gonna be the least prepared campers in the world? They are going to look at that picture of a tent floating in the middle of a calm river and think it is somehow safer than land camping, completely unready for the additional challenges of sleeping in a dingy.

Given the complete lack of any not-enclosed area on that raft, I foresee the first person trying it to just gas themselves with a portable stove on the first night.

A White Guy posted:

The only tent that will survive decent winds is staked down. One of the funniest things I've ever seen was watching some old dipshit boomer run after his tent as it flew through the Anza-Borrego desert, after telling me: "Oh, it's all good, my stuff will hold it down". Poor dumb rear end in a top hat chased that loving thing for like three miles before it finally got stuck on some rocks and a bunch of octillos. It was completely shredded by that point, so he had to walk back to camp with a bundle of rags and sleep outside, on a tarp, in the desert.

And that was only the start of two week trip :getin:

We were driving back to California after settling my grandmother's estate, so late summer of 1982. We'd just turned south after driving through the Heartland; "amber waves of grain" are all very nice in song, but 100 miles between tree or hill made for a less than scenic landscape.

As I recall we ended up at a campsite somewhere South of Pueblo, Colorado. That's high desert if you haven't been through it. More gravel than sand, more hill than flat, and more brush than trees - and not a lot of either. Forbidding country, and I call it that having been through the Black Hills. The Black Hills in North Dakota is a downright spooky region, it's an old and inimical land.

South of Pueblo you don't don't get the same sense of nature brooding in ancient silence. What you do get is a very real hostility to all the works of man. In our case, a simple two person tent. The permanent structures in the campsite were your usual windblown, run down structures needing more care and paint than they were ever going to get. The classic early 80s, Triple-A rated - and not very highly - campground.

The permanent fixtures wee there to stay, weatherbeaten and dust blasted as they were. We were just two travelers trying to get a night's sleep in our tent.

Didn't happen. Didn't remotely happen.

I'll swear on a stack of anything you care to name, that the big wind came down from the mountains that night with a purpose, and that was to flatten the one human structure it could. the one we thought we were going to sleep in.

Oh, we got our heads down and eyes closed. But the wind started howling like I've never heard, a hurricane included. A hurricane is just passing through, this wind was after us specifically. It knocked the tent down and we put it back up. Five times. Somewhere in the small hours of the morning we gave up and got a couple of hours sleep in the collapsed tent.

Shortly after dawn we threw everything in the truck and drove an hour before stopping for coffee. In almost forty years since I've never had nature be that specifically hostile, and I don't think mom has either.

gently caress me, massive landslide at a jade mine in Myanmar. At least 150 dead and hundreds more missing. The conditions in these places are already bad enough.

Going to link this one instead of embedding it even though it's a video from a long way away and doesn't show details.

Most of the cost of a product on wish is the shipping. That thing looks like the dremel saw max which I've used a couple of times. It's fine for an overpriced little saw thing that doesn't cut that deep so you're probably better off buying an actual skilsaw.
