  • Hey that is ok. I used to think that guys that used a trekking pole were sissys... now guess who has one and wouldn't want to hike with out it.. GRIN! Now it's me that is the ..... times change. We do a lot of backpacking and Royal Rangers (church boyscouts) Since I made that video I have slept on that cot on 5 different backpacks. It's good stuff. I have 4 other high end thermorests...This cot beats them all.

  • Hey I used to ,,, would agree with you. Yet I have one and I love it. Wouldn't leave it at home anymore. I had two guys ask me about it this week. Go ahead and sleep on the ground. I have for many years. When you can afford a 225 dollar cot go buy one and you will be grinning right along with me. The cot works best under the tent. By the way... its 2 lbs 12 oz. worth every ounce.

  • Buck up son. I will bring the camera crew next time. For now. You will have to settle for a head cam strapped on to a helmet in a dirty ole bat cave. Or buy some of that motion sickness pills and wait 20 minutes before you watch it again. GRIN!

  • Sorry Mark, I did not realize what I was doing. Your video just struck me funny. Maybe it was the music. I hate it when punks make fun of what other people carry, and I did not mean to do that. Whatever works for you and gets you out in the backcountry is great. I carry stuff that would make any ultralighter cringe I'm sure. My trail name is "Pack Rat".....need I say more. Again, please accept my apology for the tasteless comments. I hope to run into you on the trail sometime.

  • This is funniest video on youtube! We have all bought unnecessary gear, but this one takes first prize. A backpacking cot......hahahaahhaha. It only weighs 5 pounds, and takes 2 guys an hour to set up. AHH HAHAHAHAHA ......And then it won't even fit in the tent..oooooo hahahahahah ...Thanks guys...Comedy gold! Try some leaves under your ground cloth next time.

  • a tripod would be VERY helpful, getting sick with all the camera movement

  • nice swastika 

  • what's your pack weight??

  • Where is this cave at? How much does your gear weigh? Nice gear! 5/5
