You'll huff, and you'll puff, and you'll blow your house up! Heimplanet has been making inflatable tents - or rather, tents with inflatable poles - for years now. But owning one will cost you. Presuming the TentTube do what it say it do, it's an inflatable tent with similar benefits at a significantly lower price point.
To recap the benefits if you haven't seen the great inflatable tent poles before, The TentTube's patented AirFrame blows up and erects your camping shelter fully in about a minute. All you need to do it is a simple, manual air pump. In addition to its super fast pitch, a tent that stays up with air - and collapses without it - makes for a much lighter carry and smaller pack when you need to travel with it; TentTube says their design cuts 50% off the weight and size of traditional tents with poles.
Once inflated, the TentTube secures in place with 4 included stakes. When it's time to break it down, large valves on the ends of the tubes let the air about as quickly as you pumped it in.
TentTube measurements are 7.4' x 5.2' x 5.1', large enough for 2 to 3 people. Check out more information and design specs, and pledge for an TentTube inflatable tent of your own here on Kickstarter through June 10, 2019.
