View Full Version : Who makes the tent that you throw to set it up?
I saw a tent demonstrated recently on television (The Today Show, I think) that was remarkably easy to set up. You simply pulled the tent out of its bag and tossed it in the air; the tent would open up in flight and come down ready crawl into. Know anything about this tent?

Too bulky and heavy for backpacking. This was discussed a few months ago here.

It breaks...
Thanks! That's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Here's the link (http://camping.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?zi=1/XJ&sdn=camping&zu=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.decathlontent.com%2F) I found for it. I'm not interested in one for the AT, but for gifts for nieces and nephews for their Christmas presents.
