RE: Handheld Pop-up? Ya gotta see this!!!

Well they don t actually call it a handheld pop-up, but I think you ll agree that it sort of looks like an early model pop-up minus the wheels and a few other goodies. It s actually called the " Kamp-Rite Tent Cot"  and it can be seen at Cabela s website. I ve provided a link below to make it easy to find. I would have used the heck out of this thing when I was a kid, or even on those Cub-Scout campouts with the boys. I may even buy one of these to keep in the van for those nights on the road when I need to stop for the night, but don t have my full arcenal of camping gear loaded up. I could simply stop at a state park and bed down for the night in no time and I could enjoy sleeping under the stars instead of a stuffy, over priced hotel room. Anyway, I thought some of you would get a kick out of this.

Dave brought one of those to the Rally at RJ Ranch.  It was very nice.

Yes, the one Dave had at the rally was pretty cool. But he wasn t willing to give it away as a door prize (something about his daughter killing him?).

I wonder what kind of mileage you would get towing one?[]
 
 I saw it at the rally too, but Dave wouldn t let me borrow it to camp with the Boy Scouts.[]

Looks like a good cage for the kids -- perfect to put some toys and let them play away in their OWN PU.   Too bad the teens we have know how to work the zippers -- the blonde (20yrs) may have trouble[][]
