Ladies & Gents,

You are about to read details on the most EPIC of all PREMIUM outdoor product deals to ever come across the ARFCOM GB forum.  

Whether you are a hard-core outdoorsman, or a practical prepper that understands the need for a NO-BS 4 season shelter, you will want to consider the following...

We have a line on the Mountain Hardwear Hunker 4 Season single person tents in Coyote that are Made-In-USA.  This product was developed for Naval Special Warfare sniper/observer teams, and has never been available previously to the public in its original military Coyote color.  It will soon be available in an exclusive limited offering from SKD.  

Mountain Hardwear = one of the finest premium outdoor product brands available.  
SKD = a NO BS ARFCOM INDUSTRY PARTNER that has run NO BS ARFCOM GBs in the past with 100% fulfillment.  

Like most premium outdoor brands, Mountain Hardware has on occasion produced specialty products for the Special Operations community in limited quantities that are not offered to the public.  Also like most premium outdoor brands, the vast majority of Mountain Hardware products are made overseas in large factories to leverage a wide range of commercial materials and achieve economies in manufacturing.  Due to the fact that our military Special Operations units require Made-in-USA products to comply with the Berry Amendment (if you don't know what this is, Google it), often these special not-for-public items become even more exclusive by the fact that they are actually MADE HERE.  

The estimated retail price for this tent is $850.  This tent is an exceptional performer on its own, but has the unique ability to couple the rain flies between 2 units for a purpose-designed paired shelter.  

If we get 100 people to reply to this GB in the next 15 days with a firm "I'll take it", we will input the nuclear launch codes for the following Group Buy deal:    WE DID IT! THIS MOFO IS LIVE!

1x MHW Hunker 4 Season Tent in Military Coyote, $399 (Less than dealer price)



2x MHW Hunker 4 Season Tent in MIlitary Coyote + FREE MSR Pocket Rocket Stove, $769



Shipping would be our standard SKD $5 Flat Fee.  For specs and further info, check out our video review here:

For even further information, Google this tent and you'll see you are getting a smoking deal.  

The following snapshots are from the original Mountain Hardwear Confidential Spec Sheet:









THIS GB DEAL OPPORTUNITY TURNS INTO A PUMPKIN AT 23:59 CST ON JUNE 25, 2013. If we have the necessary interest in launching, there will be a limited time window during which orders can be placed.  

FAQs:
Q: Why does this weigh more than some other 1 person shelters?  
A: This is a FOUR season shelter which is made to handle military use.  You can find a lighter/cheaper 3 season 1 man shelter options out there, but you won't find one that is lighter/cheaper AND 4 season AND designed specifically for NSW use in extreme environments AND Made in the USA.

Q: How is this so much less than what other people have offered it for previously?  
A: The opportunity is both unique and limited in time and scope- if we meet the threshold for 100 customers, we'll have enough confidence to pull the trigger on this and come through for the ARFCOM GB community.

Q: Is there a commercial equivalent that was imported by MHW?  
A: No, this was only made here in the US of A, for NSW teams.  Even if there were a commercial import equivalent under the MHW brand, it would still cost more than our special GB opportunity price.

Q: Wait, I can get 2 of these in military Coyote AND a FREE MSR Pocket Rocket Stove delivered for LESS than the normal cost of one of these?
A: Yes, but only if you JUMP ON IT, and help drive the "I'll take it" replies to past 100 posts.  

Q: Is this for real?  
A: Does the Pope shit in the woods?  History shows that SKD limited time opportunities are the real deal and people who have missed out have often sought counseling for moderate to severe depression.  Look at our Aimpoint GBs, our BAE Level IV plate GB, and our recent MSA Level IV plate offering- ALL SOLD OUT & CUSTOMERS ARE STILL PLEADING WITH US ON THE REG FOR THEM.  

Don't miss out on this and receive the dreaded "Too Bad, So Sad" from one of our customer service reps.  If you recognize quality gear, you'll know this is the real deal and that it needs to be in your Survival/Outdoor/Preparedness Kit.  If we get to 100 "I'll Take It"s, we'll post instructions on ordering your tent(s) on this thread.  

Thanks for reading and don't miss out!

I'm in.Now to decide if I need 1 or 2.

Any need for a footprint with this?  Always used one with my other tents.

...and, WE'RE OFF!!!  99 commitments to go!
WOO-HOOOOOOOO!!!!!


Footprint isn't necessary, especially when you rock a pad like the NeoAir which is impermeable to water.  You can certainly use one if you want- there are plenty available commercially, but this tent was not designed to be used with one.  The best DIY footprint I've seen is simply a piece of construction Tyvek which can be trimmed to size.  Its a good vapor barrier, can be painted or kept white on one side for emergency signaling, and superlight and inexpensive, especially if you know some contractors.  

I'm in as well. Hopefully enough others will want in on this.

Now I'll have to figure out how many to get.



Edit 6/15:  Probably piss the wife off, but I might as well get one for each member of the family. I'm in for 4.

In for the win. I'd take one.

I would be in for two.

Keep it coming guys!  
Go-Go-GOOOOOOOO!!!

We will be linking this GB to our FB fanpage and mailing it out to our Email list tomorrow.  
This is a limited opportunity- if this GB goes live, all confirmees on this thread will receive ordering instructions first before this becomes available to the public.
Post your confirmations here now!
