Good idea, except //using portable bicycle pump//.
Too slow; use a double-acting upright pump (bigger & a bit less
portable, but your arms will thank you). |
|

P.S. Your tent may or may not be a flotation device. |

Yeah, I'd originally thought of calling it an inflatable raft tent,
but I thought most people wouldn't be as happy floating on
the water while being asleep. The instant shelter idea
appealed to me more. |

@neutrinos shadow: okay, edited to just say "portable air
pump" (there are a lot of possibilities there) |
|
| |
Does it come with an instacamp air cartridge, pull tab hot food pack, and 1 kiloton instant tree clearance device? |

@a1: Rhino Wolf is not inflatable, and not double-walled. It
shows a tiny little inflatable pad, which is hardly comparable
to a mattress. The tent is just a regular tent, and not even an
inflatable tent, much less double-walled. It is not oblong or
capsule-shaped. It has no awning. I don't see any other
product out on the market like what I'm suggesting. My radial
anchor thing would not look like theirs, and would probably be
a separate inflatable hub-like attachment that's more flame-
proof/heat-resistant to accommodate a heat source like a
campfire or wood stove. |

@a1: there's nothing that's an integrated unit, or that has an
inflatable double-wall structure. Look at the link I posted. |

+ I like it. The Rhinowolf does not look like it has a
mattress attached… |
|
| |
As per the link I'd posted, the outer wall of the double wall
should be clear/transparent while the inner wall of the
double wall should be black. This would permit a
greenhouse heating effect to help warm the interior of the
tent during daytime. |

Perhaps a larger more camping-friendly version of this tent
could be igloo/dome-shaped (See link). The mattress would
then only cover part of the floor, leaving some interior
walking space. That would also allow space to put a
portable wood stove. A small port could be openable in the
ceiling for the stovepipe. On the wall opposite to the bed
(ie. facing it) the inner wall would be clear/transparent
like the outer wall, providing a window for occupants to
enjoy the exterior view while camping. An interior
drape/blind could be attached to cover the window for
privacy, and would also be white to double as a possible
movie projection screen. |
