Great video. Sound is fine for this purpose. Hearing you loud and clear.

Or you could just a bombproof steel frame tent.
I had one and after a bad storm the pole snapped. We took it to a garage and got it welded.

Ok, so I checked out the site and read some more about the technology. So there IS in fact some gear included to fix punctures and even a spare “tube” (air channel). And the pump weighs in at 4 oz. So maybe this ís the future. Still hope they’ll come up with an affordable double wall though.

Pretty innovative, although I’d never take a single wall tent. And even though it may stand up to high winds, I can imagine that it will start to move and jiggle a bit sooner than most other tents do (but maybe I’m wrong..).
Set-up is amazingly fast though. Is breaking it down and letting the air out just as fast?
Also wonder if anything is included to fix a puncture. And what’s the weight of the pump?

As a gear tester having just visited Backpacker Mag’s new offices in Boulder, they largely request new equipment from the manufacturers for photos in the Gear Guide as opposed to photographing the smelly, dirty, used gear that was tested.

Backpacker’s …
Backpacker’s editors and testers put all the gear featured in the magazine and in these videos through a rigorous testing process. And now that our staff has relocated to Boulder, Colorado — we’re going to be able to test products to an even greater degree of intensity and use.

I really doubt backpacker magazine really tests all the products they claim to have tested. i just found in the 2007 gear guide, on one of the products, all they did was take the stock photo and change the color with photoshop. good photoshop work, but shameless corporate american bullshit.
