00:00Imagine building a house without bricks or heavy machines, just with air.
00:07Sounds impossible, right?
00:09But these inflatable homes might change your mind.
00:12Your next dream home could rise in the blink of an eye, and it can even survive powerful
00:18explosions.
00:27Usually, complex and expensive inventions are required for building domes.
00:32This is bad for construction, but good for researchers at Vienna University of Technology,
00:37who got motivated to create a technology that addresses this important problem.
00:43First, a flat layer of concrete is poured into the needed spot, which is divided into segments.
00:48It uses a few key parts working together.
00:52A slab that's already hardened and cut into segments, wedge-shaped gaps between those segments,
00:58an inflatable form underneath, a sealed plastic air cushion, a steel cable wrapped around the
01:04edge, and metal beams that help each piece move the right way.
01:08In a TU Veeam test, the shaping step took about two hours, and the finished shell ended up
01:14around nine feet tall.
01:17Here's how it happens.
01:18First, they cast the slab flat.
01:21Before they even pour it, they already plan the final curved shape, so the slab gets divided
01:26into the right segments, and the gaps are placed exactly where they need to be.
01:30Once the concrete hardens, they inflate the air cushion underneath.
01:35That pushes the middle upward, kind of like lifting a giant disc from the center.
01:40At the same time, the steel cable around the outside tightens and pulls the edge inward.
01:46As the slab rises, those wedge-shaped gaps start closing, and the separate pieces lock into
01:53one continuous shell.
01:54This system is called the pneumatic wedge method, and it's closely tied to something called pneumatic
02:00forming of hardened concrete.
02:02The big win is that you can get these curved concrete shapes without building huge temporary
02:08wooden molds.
02:16Here's a tent from the company Iolo, which the creators designed to stand out from traditional
02:22ones.
02:23It's design resembles an ordinary little house with similar windows, shape, and dimensions
02:29of 11 by 8 by 8 feet.
02:32Because of all this, from a distance and in the dark, you could really mistake the tent
02:36for a structure made from common building materials.
02:40The floor comes out to around 94 square feet, which is enough room to spread out with sleeping
02:45pads, bags, a couple of chairs, and still not feel like everything is piled on top of you.
02:50It's about 94 pounds, including accessories, so yeah, this is not the kind of tent you casually
02:57carry to a campsite.
02:59It makes way more sense for car camping, or anywhere you can drive right up to the spot,
03:04like an outdoor gathering where you want a comfortable base.
03:08So it uses inflatable air beams that get rigid when pumped up.
03:13iPoolgo says their drop stitch structures can reach around 15 pounds per square inch, which
03:18helps explain how it can stay standing without poles.
03:21levels.
03:22When it's inflated, you set it where you want, stake it down, add the guy lines, and then
03:27just make sure the pressure and stability look good.
03:37Evolution is not just the first word in the name of the company, but it's also a perfect
03:42description of the structures they provide.
03:44Such large structures only need air to get them up and running.
03:48The ESP2400 is big, with around 4,306 square feet.
03:55It goes up in about 4 hours, and can stand winds up to 55 miles per hour.
04:00It also has a big capacity of about 780 people.
04:04The Fluid Scarab is their bigger version.
04:07It has around 8,396 square feet of space, and it can hold about 1,560 people.
04:15Both structures use sealed air beam technology, so there are no internal poles getting in the
04:20way.
04:21That means you get an open interior you can set up however you want.
04:25Of course, they're made with waterproof outer materials, include insulation to help with sound
04:30and temperature, and the best part, you can pack down into a small transport size.
04:36The ESP2400 has an open front fascia, which makes it especially useful as a stage cover.
04:43There's enough floor space for backstage access, plus room for lighting, sound, production equipment,
04:48and crew movement.
04:49It also has rear doors, so staff can move in and out without messing with the main event.
04:55The good news is the sealed air beams can stay inflated even if the power cuts out.
05:00There's a voice alarm, and you get up to about 45 minutes to restore power.
05:13These huge boxes are set up for different music, sports, and a bunch of other events.
05:19Still, they can easily become a great temporary living space.
05:23For instance, for folks who lost their homes because of natural disasters.
05:26With no prep needed, people will be quickly covered with a roof and walls around them.
05:32Once it's inflated, it creates a covered space without needing a metal frame, so setup is way simpler,
05:38and storage is much easier too.
05:41It's also built for being set up again and again.
05:44The seams are double-stitched, and the parts that get the most stress have even stronger stitching, triple or four
05:50layers.
05:51On top of that, extra reinforcement strips are added at seams, corners, and joints to help it last longer.
05:58And the best part?
05:59You can usually customize it a lot.
06:01Size, colors, logo placement, themes, and full printed artwork.
06:07The graphics are done with professional cutting, sewing, and digital printing,
06:12plus a protective coating to keep the colors looking good over time.
06:16The large spider-style version is about 32 feet across, made from PVC tarpaulin, weighs around 198 pounds,
06:25and packs into about 63 by 35 by 35 inches.
06:29The smaller tent is about 16 by 8 feet, and weighs about 22 pounds.
06:42You pay around $1,700, pick up a kit from Decathlon, set it up in the right location,
06:49and do a few extra steps, like anchoring it with stakes, and then connecting it to a power source.
06:55The entire structure, with an interior space of 269 square feet, self-inflates using a built-in fan.
07:03Then, you need to supplement it with a frame and extra stakes.
07:07Now, you can move into your new home, the Decathlon-made tent.
07:12The whole point is the wide, clear sky view.
07:15From inside, you can look straight up, which is perfect for camping somewhere with a really good view.
07:21It makes the tent feel more like a chill hangout spot than just a place you crawl into at night.
07:26And the space is honestly the other big win.
07:29This is not a tight backpacking tent where you can't even sit up.
07:33It's made for relaxed campsite stays, sleeping, lounging, waiting out calm weather, and just having room to breathe.
07:41The poly-cotton outer fabric also helps it feel a bit cozier and soft, compared to tents that feel plasticky.
07:49Setup is different, too, because it uses inflatable beams instead.
07:54Decathlon also has support videos that walk you through setting it up, which, to be honest, can be annoying the
08:00first time you try.
08:01It also uses a fan system that stays on while you're using the tent to reduce condensation.
08:07There are side vents in the sleeping area to keep air moving, and if you open them up, the fan
08:13can switch into a louder boost mode.
08:23Here's another fantastic housing choice that you can put up without too much difficulty, and in just a short time.
08:30This is possible because such structures are inflatable.
08:34To build them, all you have to do is connect a pump and enjoy the safe time.
08:38But first, you need to unfold the future home, which might take some help because of its size.
08:44It'll take one person quite a while.
08:47It's a large outdoor tent made with PVC tarpaulin and Oxford fabric, and you can get it for around $980.
08:56You can use it even in your wedding or for your next party.
09:00The big difference is how it sets up.
09:02It holds its shape using just air.
09:05Once it's up, the air-filled sections become the structure, and you get a perfect covered space.
09:11For more, the surface is easy to wipe down.
09:13The Oxford fabric adds more of a fabric-like finish, so it doesn't look overly plastic.
09:19To avoid getting bored in nature, you can take a pet with you.
09:23An inflatable, robo-pet.
09:25We're serious.
09:26Similar developments are already out there.
09:29They might even teach you to do something useful for humans.
09:40No matter how cool inflatable campers are, it's always more interesting to watch something on a bigger scale.
09:47For example, check out how Helio Operations is building a home for a helicopter.
09:52As is customary for all inflatable structures, the hangar goes up really fast.
09:58One key difference from tents is that setting this shelter up in the correct spot requires around 10 minutes.
10:05Whew!
10:05It relies on a pneumatic frame to create a clear, open workspace.
10:10And this system is pretty simple.
10:12An inflatable enclosure, an anchoring setup, a pressure control system, an electric blower, and the key access points.
10:19Aircraft entrance door, emergency exit, plus vehicle access.
10:24You can also add LED lighting, ballast bags, tie-down ropes, heating, filtration ducts, and internal power distribution.
10:33In practical use, hangars like this are all about keeping operations moving.
10:38They can provide temporary protection for helicopters or aircraft during storage, inspections, scheduled maintenance, or short-term infrastructure projects.
10:47The clear span interior is a big advantage.
10:51No internal columns blocking aircraft movement, lifts, tools, or ground support equipment.
11:05TDU Savunma System offers shelters that are perfect for military use.
11:10First of all, they're great because they can be set up in a ridiculously short time compared to the alternatives.
11:16And it really doesn't matter what size the shelter is.
11:19Small tents for a few soldiers or large hangars for storing equipment both inflate quickly and don't require a lot
11:26of extra work for the military.
11:28One of their main products is a multispectral camouflage net called MS-DOSCAN.
11:35Multispectral just means it's designed to blend in not only to the human eye, but also to night vision, thermal
11:41cameras, and radar.
11:42It covers visible light, near-infrared, thermal infrared, two common heat camera ranges, and a wide radar range.
11:51For vehicles that are moving, they have a mobile system called TMMCS.
11:56It's built for the same spotting methods, but made to work on platforms that move around.
12:01It uses modular parts, is quick to put on and take off, helps reduce heat from the sun on the
12:07vehicle,
12:08can be made to fit specific vehicle shapes, and includes covers that can change color fast depending on the terrain.
12:15On the shelter side, they build inflatable mobile hangars that protect aircraft, vehicles, important supplies, and ammunition,
12:23or just give a protected place to do maintenance.
12:26These hangars use a take-apart PVC frame style, PVC out of fabric, and can come in colors like khaki,
12:34beige, or white.
12:42Some tents feel like a puzzle box, but this one takes a calmer approach by combining a single-wall, three
12:49-season tent with an integrated queen-size mattress.
12:53It works as one connected sleep and shelter system, using an electric pump to raise the tent structure first and
13:01fill the mattress through a separate valve.
13:03It uses an inflatable rib frame to create headroom, open entry points, and front-to-rear airflow.
13:10A zip-on vestibule adds covered space for packs and shoes, while interior pockets can be used to put your
13:17phones, lights, and books.
13:19The removable mattress can also be used apart from the shelter for stargazing or calm, shallow water relaxation.
13:27Air Nest offers 42 square feet of interior space, and it measures 74 by 74 inches, with a 63-inch
13:35front height and a 52-inch rear height.
13:39The pump supports programmable inflation up to 20 PSI with automatic shut-off.
13:44It uses a 15,600 mAh battery, a Type-C port for small electronics, and an integrated light.
14:01Today you've already seen different camping trailers that turn into a living space at the push of a button.
14:07Now, let's check out a tough military trip into the wild with a trailer from MGS.
14:13Here, the setup is much more complex.
14:16You have to stand and operate a mini crane, which lowers a big bundle.
14:21After that, the future tent is painstakingly laid out over the designated area and starts inflating with a massive pump.
14:30As a result, you get a large shelter that can fit more than a dozen people.
14:35Basically, it's a shelter system built onto a trailer, and it's connected with a few companies.
14:40MGS Inc., the trailer, Federal Fabrics Fibers, the air beam shelter, and TechGuard, the generator and environmental control unit, which
14:50is the heating and cooling setup.
14:52The whole point of the MSST is pretty clever.
14:56It puts the main shelter pieces on one trailer, so you're not running everything separately.
15:02Instead of moving the tent, generator, climate control unit, ducts, cables, and other gear as a bunch of different loads,
15:10it's all organized in one setup.
15:12When the trailer gets to the site, the team can set it up and use it as a workspace for
15:17things like command and control, communications, maintenance, emergency response, medical support, or whatever temporary mission is needed.
15:26And honestly, MGS Inc. fits this kind of project pretty well.
15:31They're based in Denver, Pennsylvania, and they deal with specialty trailers and equipment like generator platforms, fuel tanks, air compressors,
15:40mobile power gear, and mission support systems.
15:51Next company understands what people in cities want to live in, the outdoors, just like in a spacious home.
15:58This inflatable tent has three rooms.
16:01The first one is an entryway, which has an area of 85 square feet, and the other two are smaller
16:07rooms that fit three and two mattresses each.
16:10Overall, it's a unique two-bedroom and living room setup.
16:14When it's fully staked out with guy lines, the tent takes up a pretty large space, around 334 square feet,
16:22with an overall size close to 21 by 15 feet.
16:25It's also not light, about 48 pounds, and it's mainly meant for warm weather, two-season camping.
16:32For weather protection, it has two layers.
16:35The outer fly is polyester, and the ground sheet, so wet ground is less of a worry.
16:41As all of its kind products, it has inflatable air tubes, protected by tough fabric covers.
16:47You inflate them to 7 psi using a pump with a pressure gauge, and it also comes with steel pegs
16:53for staking it down.
16:55What's nice is that it's basically built as one connected setup.
16:58Fly sheets and bedrooms are already arranged together.
17:01So when you inflate, the whole tunnel shape pops up, without you wrestling with long pole pieces.
17:08Two people make it easier and faster, but one person can still manage it if they take their time.
17:14Inside, you can keep it as two separate bedrooms, or remove the divider to make one bigger sleeping space.
17:20The living area is like your hangout zone for backpacks, shoes, changing clothes, or just sitting inside if it starts
17:28raining.
17:36Here we have a tent that can definitely be described as all-inclusive.
17:41The two-mount camper tent inflates all at once, along with the built-in floor.
17:46And it's pretty huge, about 13 feet long, 9 wide, and 6 feet tall in the middle.
17:52That gives you around 129 square feet of floor space, so you've got room for sleeping, bags, and moving around.
18:00The ceiling is tall enough that a lot of people can stand up inside, which is honestly a game changer.
18:07As we mentioned before, it uses air columns that you inflate with the included pump.
18:12The setup takes around 5 minutes, and there's a pressure relief valve, so you're not stressing about over-inflating it.
18:18It's a single-room, cabin-style tent with two doors and four mesh windows, so it feels more open, and
18:25you can get better airflow.
18:27For weather, in normal rain, as long as you stake it down and secure it properly with the guy lines,
18:32it should help keep your sleeping area dry and protected.
18:37Just now it packs down to about 30 by 19 by 17 inches, and weighs around 47 pounds.
18:44So it's not really a hike it into the mountains tent.
18:47It's much more suited for car camping and family campgrounds.
18:58At Tolmar, they definitely know how to make tents that are useful even in the harshest conditions.
19:04The thing is, the company creates solutions for emergency response services.
19:09Their shelters have a high level of protection due to a waterproof outer layer,
19:13as well as fire-resistant materials that are mold and mildew resistant.
19:17These inflatable shelters start out as a compact bundle, and in less than five minutes,
19:22they turn into a covered workspace you can actually use in the field.
19:26They are billed for emergency response, so the idea is simple.
19:30Set it up fast, stay protected, and have enough space to work.
19:34Something that is important to mention is that the canopy is UV-resistant and includes a skylight,
19:40and you can remove the end walls depending on how you want the space to work.
19:44To keep things cleaner over time, exposed parts are treated against fungus and mildew,
19:50and the inside construction also helps resist fungal buildup.
19:54Tolmar has two main models, and they're modular, meaning you can use one on its own
19:59or connect several together using interconnect panels.
20:02That way you can create a bigger setup or separate areas.
20:06You can name them as mobile command centers, temporary waiting areas, or first-aid style spaces.
20:20The exo-frame of this tent inflates in just a few seconds, giving a couple of people a chance to
20:26fit into an inner space of 45 square feet.
20:30It's clear that the Heimplanet tent won't let rain, snow, wind, or anything else through.
20:36The main idea behind the structure is what they call an inflatable diamond grid.
20:41Instead of poles, the tent stands up using a connected airframe that fills through a one-pump system.
20:48Inside that frame is an airtight TPU bladder, and around it is a tough protective sleeve.
20:54So it's not just a balloon, it's actually built to hold its shape and stay strong.
20:59It also has a safety feature that's honestly reassuring, the multi-chamber safety system.
21:05After you inflate it, the frame can be separated into different air sections.
21:10So if one section ever leaks, the other sections can still keep the tent standing enough for you to stay
21:16stable and deal with it.
21:17It's a two-layer setup, with an inner tent and an outer flysheet, which helps a lot with keeping wind
21:24and rain off you, while also reducing that damp, stuffy feeling inside.
21:29Ventilation is adjustable, and it can create a kind of chimney effect where warm air rises and escapes through upper
21:36vents.
21:44One press of a button in the trailer from Invader turns into an almost 20-foot caravan with four sleeping
21:51spots.
21:52But the Quattro X offers more than just a place to sleep.
21:55It's not for nothing that the company calls its creation luxurious comfort and camping.
22:00There's a space to sit and wash up, and the exterior has a kitchen with the essential devices and gadgets
22:07for cooking.
22:08Up front there's a handy storage nose box you can access from the top and the side, plus a fridge
22:14slide, two drawers.
22:16It also has mounts for a small gas cylinder and two jerry cans.
22:20And if you care about looks, you can choose between red earth, bush green and elephant grey.
22:26The kitchen is one of those, you can actually camp properly, layouts.
22:30You get a fold-down worktop with an LED light, a bamboo cutting board, a built-in microwave and a
22:36two-burner gas stove with a windshield to block the breeze.
22:40Inside, it's made to feel comfy, not like a bare metal box.
22:45There's wood-look vinyl flooring, cupboards, wood-style counters, LED lights, cushioned seating and a vanity basin with hot and
22:54cold water.
22:54It weighs about 3,638 pounds.
22:59And that means you've got 1,587 pounds to play with for your gear, water, food and everything else.
23:06It's about 15 feet long while towing, and stretches to about 19 feet once it's opened.
23:20Five minutes, and the efforts of four people are needed to build a shelter that has dimensions of 41 by
23:2637 by 26 feet.
23:29Just imagine how many people can take cover from bad weather there.
23:34The creators from JB Roach claim that the structure can withstand winds of up to 29 miles per hour.
23:41We think there's no need to even mention protection against rain, snow and everything else that falls from the sky.
23:48The company behind this is JB Roach, an Irish Aerospace Protection Company based in Ireland.
23:55They're known for inflatable maintenance shelters, mobile clean room style repair spaces and engine preservation systems.
24:03That's basically what the Igloo MX is.
24:06It's an inflatable enclosure that wraps around the area being repaired, so technicians can work with less wind, dust and
24:14weather drama.
24:15It's made from modular fabric panels using military material, and it can include built-in ventilation and optional climate control.
24:24One cool detail, it's an all fabric structure, so there are no metal parts hanging around near engine work areas.
24:32That helps lower the chance of foreign object damage, basically reducing the risk of little stray items getting sucked into
24:39places they definitely shouldn't.
24:49In transportation mode, it's just a trailer.
24:52It doesn't stand out in any way and seems to serve one purpose, hauling gear and other useful stuff for
24:58camping.
24:59But when its owner arrives at the right spot, it becomes clear that it has more to it than meets
25:04the eye.
25:05With the help of an electric pump powered by a 12-volt battery, airbeams start inflating.
25:11The process takes about 90 seconds, after which the owner has a weatherproof spot.
25:16The idea is very simple. While you're driving, it stays compact.
25:21When you park, it opens into a living space with sleeping areas and an awning that gives you a nice
25:26covered spot outside.
25:28There are a few versions, and the main differences are size, wheels.
25:33The Allroad is the smallest while towing option, but it still opens up into a full-size camping setup.
25:40It uses smaller R13 wheels and keeps things light compared to the others.
25:46Inside you get two beds, plus an awning.
25:49The Offroad is basically the bigger sibling.
25:52It keeps the same body, bed, awning and interior sizes as the Allroad, but rides on bigger R16 wheels and
26:00has more ready-for-rougher roads proportions.
26:04Opened, it stretches to 21 inches long and stands 9 inches high.
26:09Then there's the ORX, which is the one that feels the most wow when you set it up.
26:15The best part is the air tube frame.
26:17You press a button and it inflates.
26:20Closed, it's 17 inches long, 6 inches wide and 4 inches high.
26:33Outdoor Revolution has a wide range of camping solutions.
26:36For example, there are tents for large groups that feature a hall and separate rooms.
26:42There are also extensions for RVs in various sizes.
26:46Basically, you can find the perfect shelter for any need.
26:50But what's really interesting is how they're put.
26:53If you're setting up a family campsite, this one fits up to 5 people and has a pretty roomy shape.
26:59It's about 15 feet in long and 10 feet in wide.
27:02Basically, you pump it up, the frame holds its shape and the valves and pressure system help keep everything stable.
27:10This is the Ozone 5.0, the more compact one.
27:14The longer one is Ozone 5.0 XE version, so it's a nice middle option.
27:20Big enough for a small family or anyone who wants extra space, but not so huge that it feels like
27:26a giant base camp tent.
27:27The lighter outer color can also help reflect heat a bit, so the tent stays brighter and a little cooler
27:34when the sun's out.
27:36Inside, the dark sleeping compartment is built to feel more relaxing and block some light, which can be great when
27:42you want to sleep.
27:43The living area still feels open because the tinted windows let daylight in without the harsh glare, and the curtains
27:50are handy when there are other tents close by.
28:00The name of this tent is Diablo 4.
28:04The number makes sense.
28:05In optimal conditions, that's exactly how many people it accommodates.
28:09But Diablo, we assume, means it's devilishly convenient for the user.
28:14Diablo 4 features air-camp technology, so you don't have to rack your brain over the right order of steps
28:20when setting it up.
28:21To be honest, this one is for campers who want a roomier campsite shelter without the pole assembly of many
28:28family tents, and this model uses a practical inflatable layout.
28:32The Diablo 4 works well for car camping and longer campground stays because it focuses on space, structure, and organized
28:41living.
28:42Its tunnel form creates a long, usable floor plan, and the peak height of about 6 feet allows many campers
28:49to stand inside.
28:50It includes a large room divided by a partition plus another room, which makes it easier to separate sleeping and
28:57living areas than in a single open chamber.
29:00The inflatable frame is the main technical feature.
29:04You place the tent, peg it down, and inflate the air tubes using the pump, which cuts down on rigid
29:09frame parts and can make pitching feel simpler for campsite setups.
29:21From the shelters needed for military purposes, we move on to a dome that's meant for less serious tasks.
29:27For instance, this kind of solution can be useful for those who love swimming in the pool, even in the
29:33rain.
29:34The dome can be easily set up right above it, so clear space, filtered light, and air pressure work together
29:41to form an inflatable dome that creates a rounded shelter without a frame.
29:45It's a custom enclosure made from transparent or semi-transparent PVC-type membrane shaped into a bubble-like cover using
29:54a motorized air system.
29:56It works by filling the flexible membrane with air until the cover rises and holds its form.
30:02Once secured, the dome creates a protected space while still letting daylight pass through the clear surface.
30:08That makes it especially practical for pool and spa areas.
30:13Over a swimming pool, it can reduce heat loss and keep the water cleaner by limiting exposure to debris.
30:19Around a spa or jacuzzi, it creates a calmer zone that feels more comfortable during cooler months.
30:26One of its biggest advantages is flexibility.
30:29Unlike many fixed shelters, the soft PVC structure can be installed for seasonal use, removed when not needed, and stored.
30:38Because it's custom-made, it can follow non-standard pool shapes and garden layouts.
30:51A good camp shelter often becomes the place where people gather, sort their gear, wait out rain, and take a
30:58break from the day.
30:59This one has the size to work that way.
31:01The Crua Core is a six-person dome tent that measures 11 feet wide, 16 feet long, and 7 feet
31:09high.
31:09And it packs small, 33 by 17 by 17 inches, and weighs 40 pounds.
31:15So it makes the most sense for car.
31:18One of its main points is the inflatable airframe system.
31:22Airbeams take the place of rigid poles, and the pump can raise the structure in about 60 seconds.
31:27It is also practical.
31:29It has one front door, two side vestibule doors, a main front door with bug mesh, two skylights, two upper
31:37vents, and four lower vents.
31:39There is also a light hook and cable access near the entrance.
31:43It can be used as the main shelter for your family.
31:46Crua Duo or Duo Max tents can connect to the sides, raising sleeping space to 12 more people.
31:53It also fits the Crua Color family insulated inner tent, which adds temperature control, sound reduction, and light blocking.
32:09If you've ever tried to change clothes through bags in a cramped tent, you know how much nicer camping feels
32:15when you actually have room to move around.
32:18That's basically what this inflatable poly-cotton tent range is special.
32:23Space, plus a fast setup.
32:25It comes in two sizes, the 2x4 and the 4x8.
32:29The 2x4 TC is about 9 feet long, 14 wide, and 7 feet high, and it weighs 48 pounds.
32:37The bigger model 4x8 is the same length, but it's wider at 20 feet, and it weighs 62 pounds.
32:44The fabric is what they call technical cotton, which is basically a poly-cotton blend.
32:49The big benefit is that it helps the inside feel less stuffy in heat, and it can cut down on
32:55that annoying condensation.
32:56Pretty cool, right?
32:58The tent uses separate air poles that you inflate through a multipoint system.
33:03Once those air tubes are filled, they act like the skeleton of the tent and hold the shape.
33:08It's a different style of setup than the model we showed before in this video.
33:12There's also a built-in front canopy, which is handy when you want a bit of covered space for sitting
33:18or leaving muddy shoes.
33:20For keeping the tent taut, the quick pitch guying system uses a pegged strap at the bottom and an adjustable
33:26buckle,
33:27so you can tighten things up without wrestling with it too much.
33:38Here's a more interesting setup.
33:40It is a big, family-style camping tent that uses an airframe.
33:44It's 246 by 181 inches, with about 243 square feet of space, and it's tall enough to stand in.
33:53In real life, it works like a big group shelter.
33:56The comfy sleeping setup is for six people, but the stated max capacity goes up to 12 if you really
34:02pack people in.
34:03The back section can be set up as anywhere from one to four sleeping rooms,
34:08and if you add the optional extra bedroom, you can push it to five rooms total.
34:13The nice part is the single-point inflation.
34:15You pump from one spot, and the connected airframe goes up in about three minutes,
34:20so it's fewer steps than dealing with a bunch of separate poles.
34:23For getting in and out, it has three doors, with two big side entrances,
34:29plus a front awning area and a protected zone.
34:32There's also a rain skirt around the bottom.
34:35Venting is basically everywhere.
34:37Side-to-side vents, front-to-back vents, bedroom vents, and upper expel vents to help push warm air out.
34:52If you've ever put up a big tent and thought, there has to be an easier way.
34:56This one's kind of fun to talk about.
34:59Heimplanet Mavericks is a four-season tent made for bigger groups.
35:03It fits 10 people, and when it's packed up, it's about 39 by 23 by 15 inches.
35:09And it weighs 55 pounds, so it's not a tiny backpacking tent.
35:14Setting it up is pretty quick for something this big.
35:17With a pump, it's supposed to take 10 minutes.
35:19What do you think about it? Let us know in the comments section below.
35:23What makes it different is the frame design they call the inflatable diamond grid.
35:29Basically, it's a pole-free structure made of connected air struts,
35:33and you inflate the whole frame in one go.
35:36After that, a multi-chamber system can split it into 10 separate chambers,
35:40which is helpful because if one section has an issue,
35:43the rest can stay inflated while you figure out where the problem is.
35:55And the last one for this video is a four- and six-person tent.
35:59The four-person version uses an Outtex Pro polyester flysheet with sealed seams
36:05and can hold about 236 inches of water.
36:08But inside happens the magic.
36:10It has breathable fabric, and the floor is also double-coated polyethylene sheet.
36:16The air tubes can be pumped about 9 pounds per square inch.
36:19When it's packed away, it's roughly 38 by 18 by 18 inches, and it weighs about 82 pounds.
36:26The six-person version is bigger and set up more like separate zones.
36:31It's a three-room tent with a wet room area, a living space, and a bedroom section.
36:36It also has the air system tubes, plus extra support with an apex tube.
36:42Full setup usually takes about 27 minutes, but you can have it usable in 14 minutes.
36:47See you again!
