Survival gear just crazy enough to work!

Some cool stuff on there. I like that pod that hangs from the tree, that's crazy! And it does look like a bear punching bag, lol.
 
Some cool stuff there :)

I like the alien pods and the radio/transmitter :thumbup:
 
Cool link. I think the trailer is the coolest but I bet its pricey as crap.

I'm not so sure what the sac is for, it doesn't look to have any real use.
 
Dang, I saw this on wired.com and came over to post it, but you're too fast!

Some pretty silly stuff in there. There are a couple of things that look interesting, but Santa's testicle does not look very practical.
 
I have been to a car show that had a trailer just like it if not the same one.. It was about 5 grand. Very very well build and thought out by someone that knew what he was doing... worth the money if you wanted to get into tough areas.

Holy crap, I laughed so hard I blew coffee out my nose !
Look at the page with the inflatable sailing dinghy...seriously:
The boat assembles easily and includes an inflatable hub with a base skeleton made out of carbonite

If you're not laughing already, here's a bit about carbonite:
wikipedia said:
Carbonite is an explosive made from such ingredients as nitroglycerin, wood meal, and some nitrate...

I'm guessing that's how 'carbon fiber' was translated for the press kit and manual ? Is there a way to factor explosives into a PHRF rating ?
Although........if you can detonate it you'll get lots of fish so I guess it's a valid survival tool ! Note to self: get out of the boat first !

I like the trailer but I should go re-read the thread about protecting ideas, lol. I had an old tent trailer that I stripped to bare steel and re-decked. I found a truck tent that needed some TLC at a yard sale and naturally my brain said "how can I make these work together". Unlike so many of my other 'projects', this one was actually pretty easy - especially if you use an axle that matches your truck: 3 more spares and a spare ring/pinion!. It's funny but it later became a 10 foot travel trailer and now it's a flatdeck utility trailer.....

The hanging pod thing was discussed here not long ago, and the concensus was less than favourable IIRC.

The survival valise/pod/keg thingy was interesting though. With a sufficiently robust container it could be air dropped en masse and it could always be a good addition to the JIC junk in the basement...

I like the camp trailer. I ran across a very simuliar design a few years ago called a King Kamper. They were around $35K +/- depending on the options IIRC. There were some different approches taken and from what I remember the King Camper looked more expensive based on the differences. The Campa is probably less expensive.

I wonder if Campa would donate one to my team?
