lol am i the only one who doesnt like them. they look like a box and dont seem to have much more room than to just lie down or whatever, maybe sit on the edge like the two people in the picture.
looking at it again i guess it is pretty tall on the inside but still these dont seem to be a simple replacement for a tent which breaks down into a easy to carry bag.
if i had to pay an extre $150 or whatever extra every year i would much rather just make a one time payment on a really good tent.
not to argue the "green" aspect of this but it seems mostly not so green unless you were planning on tossing your tent after the fest. They only keep a small portion of the entire unit to reuse. The rest is recycled after a single use. To me thats exactly like buying a plastic water bottle.
At least in my case a tent that I take I would expect to keep and reuse a number of times over the course of a number of years and a couple of fests a year. when you factor that in you're looking at the energy costs and monetary costs of using these things for at least 6 occassions. I think the total spend far out weights the benefits.
Yeah, I have to agree. I don't know that many people who are going to just throw their tent away after one or two uses. Do people really make the habit of leaving their tent beind or is this just their advertising tool? I've used mine for six years and it is still in great shape. One of these Myhab things don't look near as durable as my tent.
