Yes, at long last, you can now live out your dream of falling asleep while you lazily drift down a river, hit a sharp submerged stick, and awake in total darkness as cool, refreshing water rushes into your tent and a high-quality nylon body bag slowly entombs you and pulls you down to where the rescue divers will recover your waterlogged, fish-eaten corpse. View Quote I’m 59 and have camped my whole life, still waiting for someone to invent anything inflatable, but especially an air mattress, that doesn’t eventually leak. Waking up on the ground, stiff and sore, which I have done countless times, is better than waking up entangled in a sinking tent. Pass. |

When I was hunting solo, I found that I liked sleeping in my little inflatable anchored a short distance off shore. Then I don't need to sleep with my gun on my chest. Bears aren't going to swim out. View Quote |

I also left out sharks for the brackish water of the Everglades and Floridaman.

Repurposed life raft.
I prefer the USN's "floating tents". Roomier. |

Will it stay afloat during doggy style? Will the knees sink in?

Admittedly didn't click the link, but saw the Profit episode. Based on that, sleeping in it wasn't the point. It was basically get drunk and fish on it.

I bet the mosquito population near a body of water is going to be a fun time

Fuck that noise! Between the Gators, Crocs, Mosquitoes, Nats, Sharp Rocks/Branches, Bears, Panthers, Spiders, and Pppressive Heat/Humidity. That would suck and be a death trap. Attached File In any case, I've seen Creature From The Black Lagoon too many times. I'll pass on that tent which is probably horribly uncomfortable, anyway. |

That would be a hard No!
No way in hell would I sleep in that thing. |

um...no.
Unless the lake/pond is heated the bed is going to be cold. Maybe with the right pad or the babe on bottom... |

I once woke up on an inflatable pool raft in my underwear after a 2 day party while in high school. I didn’t have any idea where I was at or who’s pool/house I was at.
True story, summer of 81. |

So, you can camp at the state park without paying a site fee or having a reservation as long as they have a lake? Do you think the state would want is licensed as a watercraft?

Cool...it springs a leak, deflates, sinks with you with a nylon tarp wrapped around your body.

You could have a lot of fun with that and a nerf gun. Stick racks on the ends of the darts and play battleship with your friends.

This would eliminate the potential of not picking teh down slope side of the tent. |
