GO CAMPING WHY DON'T YOU? A message to camping gear makers.

Great rant, totally agree! I have the same Coleman tent he's using in this and love it too.

No kidding. The ONLY thing camping related that i bought that will fit back inside original cover is the military sleep system sleeping bag. In fact the bag for it is much larger. Amazing how little things like that piss you off when you are trying to pick up camp. My tent, I just stuff in a tub to go on the roof rack.

I have a large columbia tent that I've kept for the last 14 years because it does fit in the bag. I also like it for family trips because I can stand up in it and I'm 6'2"

My SO was laughing her ass off at that guy being irritated. I can echo those frustrations, although now my gear works pretty well.

I do have those mornings when I'm hiking where nothing fits right and I give a quarter of a second's thought to just throwing the whole pack in the fire.

Wait a minute... Maybe that's why she thought the video was so funny.

Been there. I watch all his videos, good source if your setting up a overland vehicle.

I'm so confused why mirror-world Jim doesn't sound like himself.

Real world Jim gets a solid chuckle out of the comment and vid !!! LOL

I need to either wear a hat or comb my darned hair (what remains).

If he closed his vid with now "get off my lawn" I would wholly endorse HEH

on topic - I understand the rant and say, I'm fortunate that the pop-up screen room and both tents readily fit into their bags.

The sleeping bags - I think they are quite tight but they don't always even bother to go into a bag - just get their ties set and they're good.
