I don't get it. Why do companies make shit like this?
>10 fucking pounds
>massive, requires own backpack or carry handle
>as expensive than a premium 2-4 person tent
>bivvy style
I don't get it. You can't backpack with this shit unless you sled or horse in, but if you did why the fuck would you do a bivvy style thing of all shit that costs as much as a good tent with half the space. Car camping you can also just bring a nice larger comfy tent and cheaper probably. there's no market for this shit yet I keep seeing it shilled year after year on youtube.

just because you don't like something doesn't mean it doesn't fill someone else's need.

Whose need does it fill? It's as expensive as good premium spacious tents that compact tighter and are lighter for car camping or donkey/horse packing. There's no argument for backpacking at 20lb base weight and the size of a backpack.

Yea, but you can dominate in it.
I mean its in the name. Dominator means if i buy it im like professional, badass and dominant. The premium marketing and design proves so.
The cheaper ones just make me look like an average civilian. But with this its like im in the Navy Seals of camping.

Eco friendly materials
High quality canvas will last you easily 4-5+ decades if taken care of
Extremely sturdy, can be used on tops of mountains and in wind country like Wyoming
In winter smaller spaces are better. It's likely an oven inside there if done correctly
Plenty of head space unlike normal bivvy, also they make a canvas rollup for your boots/backpack to store safely and dry at night next to it.

Because the majority of outdoor equipment is sold to people who barely go outside and have no idea the difference as long as it looks cool and will impress people and make them look the part. How do you think rei stays in business?
