As a former boy scout, my least favorite kind of person to go camping with is anyone who never bothered to figure out how any of their gear works. They inevitably show up in the dark and gripe about stuff like it's in Swedish Ikea directions format, start off the first day grumpy as hell cause they froze their asses off on the hard ground and didn't get any sleep. What's worse is this turns them against the prospect of ever visiting the outdoors again and they leave the gear to rot in their garage instead of donating it to someone more responsible and with a more enthusiastic joie de vivre than them, namely small, poor children.

IKEA instructions are clear, concise, and complete. A better comparison would be Chinese flatpack trash from Wayfair with poorly photocopied diagrams, inscrutable Engrish, and missing steps.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 week ago

Very precise. I do technical drawings for fabricators and Ikea is the sort of gold standard, for exploded assemblies views anyhow. What I was getting at was another layer of insufferability which is the people that complain about instructions which can't be any more clear, just because they are bellyachers.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I use IKEA directions as a barometer for basic problem solving skills. They're designed to use universal symbols and no wording so anyone can follow them. If you can't follow those directions, well... It's not the instructions that are the problem.

Based off my limited experience, Wayfair furniture is intentionally designed to be as frustrating as possible to assemble.

If you can't figure out how to build a tent (in the dark or not), camping clearly is not for you, or anything that requires the mental capability of an adult for that matter. That shit really is not hard.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Seriously. I don't think I've ever encountered anything more complex than: extendo poles make X, tent clips go on X, stake into ground.

People who don't ever use their toys prior to executing the camping trip are probably amateurs in more ways than just camping.

As a former scout myself, I am perfectly fine with just a sleeping bag on the ground unless it is likely to precipitate in any way. But I could also build a simple shelter using materials from around the area if I really had to.

In North Ontario, the black flies want to know your next campsite location.

I wonder if dude actually made it home, as those things aren't designed to leave pavement.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I hear he hit a 1-meter patch of ice and the cybertruck spontaneously combusted.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago

You jest, but their warranty is literally invalid off pavement.

The funniest part about this is that the Aztec is usually considered "ugly".

But when you compare it to a cybertruck... It looks like a masterpiece.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago

No joke, it's basically a vehicle to rest your eyes upon in such context.

[–] [email protected] 66 points 1 week ago

As ugly as the Aztek is, it's gorgeous next to that stainless steel doorstop.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I miss my old Pontiac Aztec, I had this tent and inflatable mattress. This cars truck space was huge!!

Honestly it was the ugliest car, but also the best car.

Center consoles air conditioning "nipples" were the best.

I am not into camping so I'm not sure, but isn't the point to get away from density/people/etc? There's so many cars there. Am I missing something (aside from an appreciation for nature up close)?

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 week ago

It mentions a bike ride the next day, so it's probably just something that's out in the middle of nowhere and starts pretty early. They'll often have an area for participants to camp for the night instead of driving out in the early morning.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago (4 children)

depressingly it's very very popular (at least here in sweden) to go """"camping"""" at what is basically trailer parks but for house cars (not literal mobile homes) where you stay a couple of nights at a time at most.

It just feels like the typical suburban mindset really.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago

In the US those are "RV Parks". They're pretty good if you you're traveling with kids and want to give them the opportunity to meet other kids and play with whatever amenities the park has. Camping in a state or national park is better if you want to more space and a more natural experience. Areas in some nattional forests are available to camp in for free as long as you don't stay in the same place for more than a week and clean up after yourself.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

We have this shit in Canada, too. Millions of square kilometers of wilderness, and people camp on top of each other and run their generators for the air conditioning and TV in their $250,000 RV they use 2 weekends out of the year.

Fucking weirdos.

[–] Pyr_Pressure 9 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I never understood it. Just go sleep in the RV in your driveway, why drive it a few hours to pay to park in someone else's multi-car driveway?

Car camping is its own thing with its own distinct culture from backpackers who hike out into the wilderness to camp.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I think it was more of a weekend bike trailing event, since cyberbaby left before "the bike ride".

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Festivals are a thing too you know

Camping is just sleeping in a tent/close to nature.

Whether there are people around has nothing to do with it.

a $3000 car tent? there is no fucking way.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Rooftop tents quite comfortably hit that figure - but this is probably outclassed by a couple of pool noodles and a tarp.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (4 children)

here I was, thinking $400 for a hammock was a lot.

For one third of that you can have a huge deluxe family room sized tent that would be 5000 times more durable and easier to put up. This is the Apple product of tents without the quality or ease of use.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

so the modern apple product of tents

Probably first time doing it and he didn’t even try at home before going camping. When those foldable kayaks started popping out on Amazon, I saw a couple arriving with two at a lake. They spent like 20 minutes trying to assemble them and ended up giving up.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The first thing I did when I got my inflatable kayak was to inflate it in my living room for the reason you are describing.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Nah, you did it because it's fun to have a kayak in the living room! Learning how was just a bonus.

They could have just bought a Porsche Taycan with the roof tent with that Cubertruck money.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago

I unironically like the Aztec. Function over form.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago (6 children)

Here's a shortish video showing setup.. Man it looks like a fiddly process.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 week ago

LOL, all that electricity in the "truck" and they give you a manual bike pump to inflate the damn thing‽

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 week ago

That looks insane. It's held up by clamping onto the metal flashing of the door, instead of to the frame, the flashing held on by fucking glue. I also love how they show the electric plugs, but you have to use a bicycle pump to inflate.

The Aztec wasn’t ugly in the right configuration and even if it was ugly, it was at least practical and affordable

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You can't call the Aztec ugly when You compare it to the ugliest car in history. Except the Fiat Multipla of course.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The good thing about an ugly car is you don't see it when you sit inside.

Most trucks can accommodate some sort of official or unofficial tent. Granted, the Aztec was, I believe, designed with that in mind. I feel like the cybertruck tent failure was likely a combination of poor design and the lack of critical thinking that a person who purchased a cybertruck has. Regardless, I prefer my canvas tent on the ground. There is plenty of space, no climbing, and I can have a stove (heat only) for winter excursions.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (10 children)

And the biggest advantage is that you don't have to take it down to go on day trips while you're camping. I think the rooftop and vehicle tents only make sense if you're going to be sleeping somewhere different every night.

TIL: the cybertruck has a tent. WHY!

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think it's an accessory you can buy. The quality seems to be on par with the rest of the thing.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

It was advertised as a hard top too. They made it a basic ass tent that doesn't even work.
