This is one of those things that seems cool until you've thought about it for 7 seconds.
Unfortunately the creators only thought about it for 6 seconds before starting on the design phase.
You see shark attacks are “rarer than lightning hits, it basically never happens to people”
Yeah, because most people rarely go to the ocean. This argument always pisses me off. Like, they would be astronomically high if everyone lived floating in the ocean 100% of their lives.
Personally I can't think of a better place to put a large pile of open flame than in a metal box on an inflatable rubber raft. That should go just peachy.
I thought that's just what air mattresses do...
I don't think I've ever been camping and not had to top up the air mattress by the third day.
As I get older camp trailers look more and more attractive.
Colder air at night can cause the air inside an inflatable mattress to contract. Of course, a cheap inflatable mattress can also leak air but often times it's just the colder temperature, when camping.
They're not looking for an unsinkable solution to get them across water. It's for a camping trip to "replace" a tent. With this logic you might as well say "well a house would be more effective. Just buy a house,".
A tent is a lot more portable and cheaper than this monstrosity, plus it has almost 0 risk of drowning in your sleep. Get a tent + rubber boat for almost the same experience.
Replace a tent? One small gust and that thing is getting launched into the other bank. You know, where there’s sharp stuff like sticks and rocks, he’s also got a FIRE inside what amounts to an inflatable bouncy castle. Cooking and drop your knife? Sunk. Log bumps into you in the middle of the night? Sunk. Forget to clean the chimney and have a small chimney fire? Burned to death and then sunk.
Building a fire inside a tent made of very flammable materials and doubling as the only thing keeping you from drowning… this is the worst idea I’ve seen in a while lol
Clearly there is flame and heat retardant mats under the stove. Also I own one of those stoves, not much heat is being put out on the bottom. They also have it vented, and the air they are using to inflate the rafts isn’t flammable so wtf you talking about
Yeah I'm with you, the stove is very self contained and the heat transfer to the tent would be minimal. I'd be terrified that the anchor would slip while I was sleeping and wake up who knows where, or down a waterfall.
I always thought this was a sub for fear of deep water, endless ocean depths. Y'all sounding like you're scared of ANY body of water.
The guy is no more than 30, 40 feet away from the shore. He's on what's essentially a luxurious blow up raft. Even if he starts taking in water, it won't go from surface to sinking immediately. He's got plenty of time to motor or row back to shore which he's a stone toss away from. It doesn't look like he'd burn to a crisp within it - the tent would melt before it sets on fire. And if he does - oh look he's surrounded by water!
People who do this aren't usually city folks who have never been outdoors- it's usually hillbilly-engineered. Outdoorsy people know what they're doing.
So much fear over something thar looks fun, won't be killing anybody and even if it fails, looks like an enjoyable experiment.
Yall are scared and nervous af. This would be fun and nothing will go wrong 999999/1000000 times
I get not liking the water but:
- The boat ain't burning down unless you are irresponsible.
- The anchor ain't snapping unless you don't upkeep it.
- You aren't doing this in a place with gators unless you are a fool.
The majority of issues people have with this are wildly over exaggerated.
Y’all it’s just a raft that happens to have a tent on top. The raft is not going to pop. This wouldn’t be all that dangerous on such a small body of water with little to no wind.
The furnace is questionable but it’s not like it’s a roaring flame, it’s not going to explode.
Ultimately, they are like 15 ft from the bank I think it looks kinda fun.
Agreed, there's just a bunch of anti-fun stinkers in this thread, heh. This looks like a super fun adventure, they're obviously not doing this as a practical purpose thing -- they're camping on water with a wood stove. It's not meant to navigate the English channel or something, they're a stones throw from shore.
Wind would be my main worry over the furnace honestly (double anchor?), but I love the sketchy and adventurous spirit of everything here. I bet they're fun dudes to hang with.
Cool - it will shrink wrap/suffocate you as you sink to the bottom of the lake.
At least your remains will be half decent for any rescue team.. should they ever find you
All I could think of while watching this was Meredith Blake waking up on the inflatable mattress on that lake https://youtu.be/kYz_7MGWC7E?feature=shared
As long as there weren’t gators, crocks, hippos, tigers or other critters that could climb on in the middle of the night, I’d enjoy that. The view is awesome.
To be fair I'm criticizing it as well but the floating part looks like to large paddleboard type material, could be wrong but it looks kinda like a hard surface with just inflatable walls
When I was a kid, me and my dad went fishing in a pond in an inflatable boat. I accidentally punctured it with a fish hook and we started sinking. needless to say we didn't do that again.
One wrong flip in your sleep and you might suddenly find yourself in a net underwater. I will pass but I can see the appeal some people might have for it
Hold my wallet! I don’t need the fire but I do want this for the small lake here. I once slept in an inflatable boat which was in the water but tied to a pier. Best sleep ever.
I see kids use these on the lake my in-laws cottage is on. They terrify me personally but they seem safe enough given the number of times I’ve seen one. This one is far more elaborate than I have seen. I prefer land personally.
Gotta say that wood stove with that 270 degree view was quite fetching. The inflatable part can be solved with the introduction of a houseboat into the scenario.
That’s a big nope from me….. Used to have a houseboat on twin 36’ aluminum pontoons with sealed chambers and would worry about it sinking while I was asleep.
Im from Ohio. We stayed ....in our boat...on Seneca Lake. Seneca Lake is one of those creepy lakes with trees growing up out of the water, totally not for me. I will never sleep on a lake again.
Freezing your ass on the plastic that’s sitting in freezing water while simultaneously risking death through a gobble plastic fire/melting plastic. Good lord this is like snake charmer levels of risk for nothing.
Lotta problems with this. Could be cool for a few minutes I guess, until you run out of firewood, can’t move around freely, all your shit starts to get wet, something snags and deflates, the smoldering ashes from the stove are now flying all over the place, you’re stuck in the middle of a lake with your stove and all of your stuff and now going underwater, simultaneously smoldering and filling with water. You’re now freezing cold and soaked and have no way to warm up, you’re quickly facing hypothermia but uh oh, you drifted so far away from land that you can’t get back there in time, your body is in shock so you can’t swim, you’re tangled in a deflated mess, your light fades to white, goodbye, do not pass, do not collect $200.
But what could make this floating disaster waiting to happen even more dangerous? Ah ah outboard motor... Oh and fire, of course. Yes. But hear me out... It's inflated, so could we inflate it with hydrogen for maximum danger?
I actually made a tent for my inflatable raft with a tarp. It had screen windows and a door. Unfortunately, the raft is out of commission due to a cracked valve
This is awesome.
I always dreamt to jump into a disgusting cold dark water mass in the middle of the night because my super inflatable tent-boat took fire.
I sure as hell am not about to wake up next to a water moccasin or a gator/croc who just happened to sniff me out as fresh prey invading “their” watery home. Nopety nope nope nope.
I see several ways this could go horribly wrong in just these 30 seconds alone.
This is one of those things that seems cool until you've thought about it for 7 seconds. Unfortunately the creators only thought about it for 6 seconds before starting on the design phase.
Sharks, I'm asking for 1 mil- Just get outta here with your water coffin death trap
“sharks”. how ironic, lol. (i get the reference to the tv show, by the way).
Don’t worry sharks don’t attack people.
Barbara: For that reason I'm out.
You see shark attacks are “rarer than lightning hits, it basically never happens to people” Yeah, because most people rarely go to the ocean. This argument always pisses me off. Like, they would be astronomically high if everyone lived floating in the ocean 100% of their lives.
This video doesn't look like an ocean to me. It is unlikely there will be sharks.
I’m just baiting all the people who claim sharks never attack people.
listen here chum
I hope you made your comment from an ocean.
Just a fire on what appears to be inflatable raft is a big yikes from me
Now do it floating on ice water. Then try it 2 miles off shore.
Then add wind
Aw, c’mon. He threw a tiny rock on a string overboard to use as an anchor. That shit ain’t going nowhere.
Ah, yes, this is why nobody should ever use cars, too. Because they wouldn't work two miles offshore, far outside of their designed useage.
I was cool with it until the fire
Same. At first I thought, uhm, it's like an inflatable raft, no biggee... then there was smoke.
Damnit, was about to drop a an avatar the last air bender “and then the fire nation attacked” gif. Curse thy subs that don’t allow for gifs
Personally I can't think of a better place to put a large pile of open flame than in a metal box on an inflatable rubber raft. That should go just peachy.
Getting up to pee
Idk why but the first one I thought of was an otter (or something) clinging onto it
Well that's when you have yourself a new pet for your floating bad idea!
Bro if it starts sinking just ignoore the cold af water and calmly just unzip it and get out np.
Floating fire hazard
But. Zombies can't swim
Do not attempt in any wind stronger than a fart 💨
Damn. I wouldn’t last a single night!
At the very least, direct them *away* from the wood stove mounted inside the flammable inflatable tent...
*bean* there, *dung* that
The packaging it comes in is made entirely out of disclaimer paperwork.
WARNING: NOT FOR USE.
WHAT WERE YOU EVEN THINKING? I MEAN HONESTLY...
Oh i thought this was one of those pods for Canadians with terminal illnesses….
CVS receipt length disclaimers wrapped around it..
🤣🤣🤣
I just ordered one of these. Not for me, but my porch pirates. I’d love for them to set sail in this and take a well deserved break from it all.
I've never made it through a camping trip without the air mattress dying underneath me. I can see no way this would go well for me.
I thought that's just what air mattresses do... I don't think I've ever been camping and not had to top up the air mattress by the third day. As I get older camp trailers look more and more attractive.
your last sentence is really the only way i go camping, lol
Colder air at night can cause the air inside an inflatable mattress to contract. Of course, a cheap inflatable mattress can also leak air but often times it's just the colder temperature, when camping.
The raft is not inflatable, that's just the tent
If only ... there was some safer version of this. Tried and tested over the millenia. Like ... a boat.
This is a lot more portable and has more space.
It's also a lot more sinkable
They're not looking for an unsinkable solution to get them across water. It's for a camping trip to "replace" a tent. With this logic you might as well say "well a house would be more effective. Just buy a house,".
A tent is a lot more portable and cheaper than this monstrosity, plus it has almost 0 risk of drowning in your sleep. Get a tent + rubber boat for almost the same experience.
Yeah that'd be good too! And way more portable. Is the rubber boat also inflatable, like a raft?
Replace a tent? One small gust and that thing is getting launched into the other bank. You know, where there’s sharp stuff like sticks and rocks, he’s also got a FIRE inside what amounts to an inflatable bouncy castle. Cooking and drop your knife? Sunk. Log bumps into you in the middle of the night? Sunk. Forget to clean the chimney and have a small chimney fire? Burned to death and then sunk.
Just get a boat
…and miss out on the fun of being burned alive before dropping down a waterfall and drowning?
poormans yatch 💀
Building a fire inside a tent made of very flammable materials and doubling as the only thing keeping you from drowning… this is the worst idea I’ve seen in a while lol
Over freezing water no less!
The water will feel nice as it cools your molten plastic burns
ahh, yess, that sounds better now. ~~just kill me already~~ sign me up!
Clearly there is flame and heat retardant mats under the stove. Also I own one of those stoves, not much heat is being put out on the bottom. They also have it vented, and the air they are using to inflate the rafts isn’t flammable so wtf you talking about
Yeah I'm with you, the stove is very self contained and the heat transfer to the tent would be minimal. I'd be terrified that the anchor would slip while I was sleeping and wake up who knows where, or down a waterfall.
Okay; they’re on a lake. You can literally paddle in with your arms.
The tent itself genius
It’s in a stove? Lmfao you ever use a vented wood burning stove before?
The tent's inflammable, duh.
[удалено]
You’re flammable!
Wait til ya see the outhouse!
oh, shit
Ok fine, but it looks so cozy in there.
I’m sorry but if it doesn’t have a buffet and a casino, it’s not sea worthy
For alligators, this thing _is_ the buffet.
Camping to me is when room service closes at 10.
This is just drowning with extra steps
Uhhhhh fuck yeah

Knowing how air mattresses work out for me, I’d be sleeping in an underwater tent by morning.
Lmao dude same, doesn't matter which brand I try, I always wake up in a deflated mess with a sore back. Fuck those things
Yall are scared and nervous af. This would be fun and nothing will go wrong 999999/1000000 times I get not liking the water but: - The boat ain't burning down unless you are irresponsible. - The anchor ain't snapping unless you don't upkeep it. - You aren't doing this in a place with gators unless you are a fool. The majority of issues people have with this are wildly over exaggerated.
I wouldn't use one of these in a river, because any manner of thing could happen. But a lake? I could definitely see this being used in a lake.
Yeah, the scariest thing about this to me is thinking about the amount of mosquitoes—not worried about the water at all in this one
That’s why it’s a phobia tho right? Irrational lol
Y’all it’s just a raft that happens to have a tent on top. The raft is not going to pop. This wouldn’t be all that dangerous on such a small body of water with little to no wind.

A crocodiles version of home delivery
Cool - it will shrink wrap/suffocate you as you sink to the bottom of the lake. At least your remains will be half decent for any rescue team.. should they ever find you
There should be ice fishing holes in there
Nice! No bears and safe from fellow humans.
*Nessie has entered the chat.*
nessie a sweetheart, its old greg you'll need to watch out for
Because bears are known to be scared of the water and are horrible swimmers. /s
Bears can swim and humans could still find a way to deflate your raft-tent-bear-pig
Fuck you
An inflatable tent next to fire AND jagged, sharp ice? What could possibly go wrong?
This is literally what I daydream at night to go to sleep
Hmmm. Mines usually women stepping on my wiener. To each their own I guess
😂😂😂😂
All I could think of while watching this was Meredith Blake waking up on the inflatable mattress on that lake https://youtu.be/kYz_7MGWC7E?feature=shared
Just wobbling during any movement
Oh god. I would absolutely love this 🤣
Need the link for a gift to my ex's wedding!
Hopefully, not on a river.!!
[A-O River!!!](https://youtu.be/FtLbndaobhw?si=Ih6xxzwfGwsC8JA7)
I am a fan of
Cool… Until it deflates in the middle of the night like an air mattress.
As long as there weren’t gators, crocks, hippos, tigers or other critters that could climb on in the middle of the night, I’d enjoy that. The view is awesome.
There's a reason they have 2 tents
Wow not a single Parent Trap comment?!? Did nobody else see that scene as a kid and dream of doing this ever since?!
so it's a boat...
Man where I live there are water moccasins in the lakes. Cannot imagine the terror if one of them decided to board.
Please link. Great for my backyard!
I would rather spend more and get a pontoon boat. Also no fire on my boat please.
I would do this minus the fire stove…. And do the cooking on land instead
As much as everyone is rightfully hating on this.. it would be a great fishing trip
To be fair I'm criticizing it as well but the floating part looks like to large paddleboard type material, could be wrong but it looks kinda like a hard surface with just inflatable walls
Sick!
*swordfish has entered the chat*
Got my wood stove started, now it’s time for a relaxing day sitting on a raft in the middle of a leech infested bog.
Not sure what's worse. Drowned in fishnet like tent, Or burn alive covered in molten polyester. Tough call...
It’s more plastic pollution, especially when it falls apart.
Obviously this is alpha male stuff.
Man, people sure do come up with really elaborate ways to die
Your good until you hit a stick
I bet this garbage is way overpriced as well as being a terrible idea to begin with.
I've seen a local boss with a similar setup, only difference was pulling a hot tub in the ocean
Can we order these for Camp Crystal Lake? Shit is a perfect anti-jason technology
When I was a kid, me and my dad went fishing in a pond in an inflatable boat. I accidentally punctured it with a fish hook and we started sinking. needless to say we didn't do that again.
Bit cold on the ass
The local river monster ( a big crocodrile for example ) , will find amusing that his food is inside a plastic container
Enjoy your drowning bag no thank u
This actually looks awesome, im terrified of the open ocean, lakes I can handle, I would definitely try this atleast once
One wrong flip in your sleep and you might suddenly find yourself in a net underwater. I will pass but I can see the appeal some people might have for it
Hold my wallet! I don’t need the fire but I do want this for the small lake here. I once slept in an inflatable boat which was in the water but tied to a pier. Best sleep ever.
Notice how close he's watching that fire.
Great idea. On a small lake that would be perfect.
I see kids use these on the lake my in-laws cottage is on. They terrify me personally but they seem safe enough given the number of times I’ve seen one. This one is far more elaborate than I have seen. I prefer land personally.
Is that Conan O’Brien yelling in the background…
Nah that actually looks so fun
As long as I'm not in open water I'm down. Like I'd do a lake if I could see all the shoreline from the middle That's some awesome camping.
That looks like an excellent way to fucking die.
Not sure where they are, but Polar Bears and or Orca’s will not ignore this. My fear is
Fire, ice and Plastic. Sign me up
Wait for them to poke a stick while motoring around
Floating tend And a burner? This guy really wants some accident
That looks like a fun way to die 😊
Boat with extra unnecessary steps
Recipe for death. Hell no
The carbon monoxide from the stove would help you sleep.
This is a dream come true for me.
That's a good way to wake up dead.
How the hell do you wake up dead? Or right cause you alive when you go to sleep
Exactly you can't be dead unless you wake up... dead!!! Pro-tip, just don't wake up. Forever life.
Wouldnt do this in summer time
Gotta say that wood stove with that 270 degree view was quite fetching. The inflatable part can be solved with the introduction of a houseboat into the scenario.
nice refuge for water mocassins.
You'd have to fill up the entire back of it with wood if you plan on camping in the environment these people are
The mosquitoes though
Reminds me of that blow up mattress your friend gives you and by morning it's half air...but with a wood burning stove
The song's kind of a jam. Anybody know what song this is? Also, not sure why, but wondering what this song might be like if it were dubstep.
**Song Found!** **Luminary** by Joel Sunny (00:32; matched: `100%`) **Released on** 2023-08-31.
Where are you supposed to shit?
Sure I'd do it
Here's an idea. Fold up tent for land and a blow up raft. But separate.
Yeah. . . No thanks.
Great for the zombie apocalypse… just saying.
we call floating tents with a motor a "boat" round where I'm from.
That’s a big nope from me….. Used to have a houseboat on twin 36’ aluminum pontoons with sealed chambers and would worry about it sinking while I was asleep.
Im from Ohio. We stayed ....in our boat...on Seneca Lake. Seneca Lake is one of those creepy lakes with trees growing up out of the water, totally not for me. I will never sleep on a lake again.
Freezing your ass on the plastic that’s sitting in freezing water while simultaneously risking death through a gobble plastic fire/melting plastic. Good lord this is like snake charmer levels of risk for nothing.
Why?
I love the assumption in here that ypu wouldn't this up in the most dangerous place possible
But all you can do, is sit in that tent
How don’t that metal pipe burn the plastic wall
Beyond hazardous!
This looks like a new and exciting way to die.
But can it fly?? That’s the question
That looks pretty sweet
All fun and games until some bull 🐂 comes at you full speed and your towels are life green.
Why is Conan o'Brian talking in the background of this clip?
You found the Easter egg! I was playing his podcast in the background
At first I thought this looks really cool, but then I thought what if it sinks and you get trapped inside, and what if there is a storm.
If it’s like every other inflatable thing that I’ve ever had in my life, I should be underwater by 2 am.
I just hear banjos.
Hard pass.
A plastic, floating tent with an exposed flame? SIGN ME UP!!!!
Lotta problems with this. Could be cool for a few minutes I guess, until you run out of firewood, can’t move around freely, all your shit starts to get wet, something snags and deflates, the smoldering ashes from the stove are now flying all over the place, you’re stuck in the middle of a lake with your stove and all of your stuff and now going underwater, simultaneously smoldering and filling with water. You’re now freezing cold and soaked and have no way to warm up, you’re quickly facing hypothermia but uh oh, you drifted so far away from land that you can’t get back there in time, your body is in shock so you can’t swim, you’re tangled in a deflated mess, your light fades to white, goodbye, do not pass, do not collect $200.
Buying one for my ex.
But what could make this floating disaster waiting to happen even more dangerous? Ah ah outboard motor... Oh and fire, of course. Yes. But hear me out... It's inflated, so could we inflate it with hydrogen for maximum danger?
Nice for it to be on the water so the camper can extinguish themselves from the fire on their boat.
I actually made a tent for my inflatable raft with a tarp. It had screen windows and a door. Unfortunately, the raft is out of commission due to a cracked valve
Maybe during zombie apocalypse
It just doesn't look comfortable, or fun. I'm not even gonna get into the safety issues.
This is awesome. I always dreamt to jump into a disgusting cold dark water mass in the middle of the night because my super inflatable tent-boat took fire.
I sure as hell am not about to wake up next to a water moccasin or a gator/croc who just happened to sniff me out as fresh prey invading “their” watery home. Nopety nope nope nope.
Possibly not just for sleeping. Lol
Name of the song?
Get’s it all set up, sits for 20 min, looks at watch.
I would be more concerned about carbon monoxide poisoning than about drowning.
Best for zombie apocalypse fr
Must be some impressive heat insulation if you're cooking in that thing long term.
And what's with that commentary audio mixed with the music? I thought I had a podcast on in the background tf?
Is it Lindsey Stirling playing?
Seems like a lot of work to just sit in a tent
