admin (Simon W) Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Check out this little number for those who like a bit of adventure with there Paramotoring https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/rhinowolf-the-all-in-one-attachable-super-tent-camping-travel#/ A little pricey to be fair, but looks just the job ( I would think, a slightly longer bag, not as wide would fit nicely under the petrol tank on a Zenith!!

Alanl Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 (edited) cracking idea, was thinking earlier wouldn't it be great if you could nip up a mountain to watch the night time meteor shower camp out then come home next day....

andyy Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 It's a really nice idea, I'm always a bit sceptical of the ratings tho. I do a chunk of wild camping in wales and this would bring my bag size down considerably! only one thing for it simon you get one and let us know if you get a comfortable nights sleep ;) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin (Simon W) Posted August 3, 2017 Author Share Posted August 3, 2017 Mate I would be a bad person to use as I could sleep up a tree draped over a branch in a storm SW 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plasticuser Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 As an avid hiker and fly-camper, I dislike this intensely. It's a one-size-fits-all solution that doesn't let peopler swap out their air mattress or sleeping bag to something suited to the person, conditions or season. They claim it is lighter than the parts separately but it is only a fraction lighter. It is cheap though through the indiegogo offer - it will fail in the market at the listed retail price. When you connect multiples of them together, the entrance is at the end so you have to go through everyone's space to get to yours. If you need to pee at 3am and you're in the middle, well, you're waking up everyone from you to the door. When I flycamp I take my REI T2 half dome (3lbs) hydrogen sleeping bag (11 oz) and air mattress (2lb 2oz?) (total: 5lb 13oz) but if it's midsummer I can leave the tent and sleeping back, and just take the mattress and a tarp tent that fits in my pocket! (9 oz). Fly out to a local off-trail lake or ridge or mesa or sand bank, enjoy the night, return home next dawn. Or even better, have a stash of pre-mixed fuel dropped off at my planned camping site so the next morning I can get in some early flying, then explore/hike during the day and fly back to the truck in the evening/sunset. I'm still planning a huge Historic Route 66 flight west to east over a month or more in 2018 with ground support, if anyone's interested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin (Simon W) Posted August 3, 2017 Author Share Posted August 3, 2017 Do you have a pic of that all packed on to your Paramotor for us? The reason I shared this was mainly the 'one bag' solution which looks as though it would fit onto just about any paramotor For hardcore mountain work this is clearly not the kit to have, but for a weekend BBQ in Wales it 'looks' like a great idea to me.

AndyB Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I have flown with a small rucksack on. It doesn't feel like added weight on your back. I first put the rucksack on back to front, on my front. When strapping in to the paramotor I put the harness fastenings between the rucksack and me. My reserve is at the side! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick1 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 (edited) I love sleeping rough and I'm a sucker for anything that saves weight. I'm always surprised by how much kit some people take camping. I went for a 36 hour hike out with some friends a couple of years ago on the Isle of Skye and I took a small pack with a sleeping bag, spare pair of socks, jumper and rations. The other guys rocked up with enough kit for a week. I admit I rarely camp in much below freezing but I've never understood the need for a tent, I've got an old snow peak tarp like this one, https://snowpeak.com/collections/shelters/products/penta-air-tarp?variant=22530095428 which is similar concept to the Rhino wolf thing. Can't recommend it enough. Im keen to do a fly camp trip though, that's one thing I'm yet to do. Edited August 6, 2017 by Patrick1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick1 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Of course, if I was a real man, I'd simply have one of these https://www.wynnchester.com/product/adventurer-canvas-bedroll/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyy Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 One massive headache in the morning from the petrol fumes surely? Nice idea tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin (Simon W) Posted August 7, 2017 Author Share Posted August 7, 2017 I was thinking the same... Brilliant idea, but I would expect to be able to taste the petrol fumes by morning. A separator not dissimilar to the one it has that reaches the top to make a seal would be a simple solve for that I recon. SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyy Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Definitely! That's all it needs but it has great potential and of course keeps your motor out of sight which would be a concern in a normal tent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Alternatively, have a huge box on a trailer to keep the paramotor in and then an even huger tent to keep the trailer in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyy Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Always an easy way out lol. Some of us like to rough it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
