This is Disc-O-Bed 2XL Outfitter Bed, available from Cabela’s. Offering a sleep area of 85″ long by 40″ wide, it is capable of supporting up to 600 lbs per single cot and can quickly be configured (without tools) as a standalone cot, bench, or bunkbed. The family of beds is also offered in a variety of other configurations, including for children.
Although it might seem counterintuitive, adding a sleeping pad to a hammock has merit. For instance, it’s cold outside, or you’ve got the lumbago and need a little extra support. Another reason might be that you want a little more structure for your hammock. No matter the reason, Klymit has the answer with a model designed specifically for use in a hammock.
Here, we see Recoil’s Rob Curtis checking out the Hammock V.

If there was an industry trend at this Outdoor Retailer Summer Market, it was these inflatable loungers. They were everywhere. Referred to by a number of names including inflatable hammocks, it’s no wonder that Eagle Nest Outfitter would offer the snazziest model. This is the Billow Air Lounge.
Made from a low porosity material, you inflate the Billow via a baffie system and then use the roll top closure to trap the air. Eventually, it’s going to lose air so for long-term use, you’ll find yourself refilling it every few hours.
Offered in a variety of color combos.

Hammocks are all the rage but these days you’re either getting a lightweight fabric hammock that swallows you as soon as you get in or a large net hammock that you’d find in grandma’s backyard. NEMO set about to make something in between.
Right from the get go, you’ll notice the design. It’s got a deep foot pocket so that when you get in, your feet don’t end up higher than your head. Additionally, the material won’t absorb water and the hammock comes with spreader bars to keep its shape. It’s topped off with an iPad pocket and beverage holder.
One of Sumberjack’s new priducts for OR Summer Market is so big, they couldn’t actually set it up in the booth but rather had to rely on a large billboard along the side of their booth. The Roadhouse Tarp was designed to be used in conjunction with a vehicle for overland camping use.
The Roadhouse Tarp will come with two beefy steel poles and can be set up alone lean-to or ridge tent-styles or connected off the back of a vehicle with two poles for a wider top or single pole for a more pronounced ridge. It is equipped with a ratchet attachment system to connect to various points on the vehicle included the wheel. I know one of you will say it, so I’ll save you the embarrassment; no, it’s not meant to be driven with the tarp attached to a wheel.
Coming Spring 2017.
Developed for testing in extreme cold weather, this modified version of NEMO’s Award winning Moki mountaineering tent, has no floor in order to save weight and avoid condensation issues associated with flooring in that environemnt. However, it’s cool to see MultiCam Alpine used for a tent.
This shelter is not available for purchase. Lessons learned will be integrated into future NEMO products.

While there’s a very fitting definition for the acronym SOL but to Adventure Medical Kits it stands for “Survive Outdoors Longer.” And yes, I know, we traditionally use a single v when we say “bivy” but they dubbed it a “bivvy.” All of that notwithstanding, the Escape Bivvy is a nice bit of kit.
Not only will it keep you warm by reflecting 70% of your body heat back at you, but unlike other survival blankets, it breathes. Another way it is different than many other space blankets is that it Green in color. The material itself is highly water resistant so it won’t absorb water and offers waterproof seams as well as a drawstring hood and side zips so you can use it in a variety of ways. The SOL Escape Bivvy is 84″ x 31″ and weighs 8.5 oz.
