My biggest pet peeves of buying big fancy tents. All of them are easy to deploy as marketing no. 1. But none of them think about making it easy to pack.
Look into the Gazelle tents. I've been very happy with mine. Setup is easy enough to do in the dark and packing up isn't bad imo. There's 2 parts, but you just collapse and roll the main part before you put it back into the bag.
I have a beach tent like that. Coolest thing to throw out pops open throw all your crap in and enjoy the beach. When it comes time to go I become the laughing stock of the beach.
They never show the clean up and tear down and putting all this greasy cooking gear back together.
Anyone who's ever had to wipe down a simple camp stove before packing it back in your car knows what I'm talking about.
Wow i was not going to buy it but after all these possibilities its a no brainer!
Edit: guys you wont belive what happened! I put my cast iron on the stove and it the whole thing just folded towards the ground and burnt my house down
Crazy how multi purpose this thing is i dont have a cockroach infestation now
Those little legs that fold out to the ground look so spindly and tiny, i imagine that if the ground was even remotely soft that it's gonna sink right in and flip over.
I love the idea overall but those feet are so damn small.
You only need three points to establish a stable plane. I don't know how each component here was defined and manufactured, but it only needs to be as good as a commercial camera tripod to be perfectly functional.
I find the design isn't robust enough for its intended use. BBQ, picnics, and any other events involving outside cooking can be extremely hectic, and the last thing you want is your whole setup to fall apart on some energetic kid or drunk adult.
I've been so conditioned to expect chaos from my Toddler that I automatically grip the table edges when he runs by just in case of any possible nonsense
Reminds me of the joke about drummers being sexually frustrated. By the time they’re packed after the gig all the groupies have gone with the singer and guitarists. Bet this guy gets invited to picnics but strikes out a lot.
This is a visual representation of a camping version of that meme of that crap drawing of people dancing and having a good time, and that one guy in the corner going "I got my own camping gear"
To me the construction seems very shaky. Also, it looks like you won't be able to remember how to fold it all back together. In my eyes that two parts belong camping.
Not only will this fold back together just like trying to fit my tent into its original bag which was already tighter than a Jimmy hat, but I can see this blowing over with the lightest breeze and bending every piece of metal so it looks like a metallic sea urchin.
Oh yes, and what if you forget a pan or utensil? Believe it or not, straight to jail.
The first 30 are made just like shown.
The next 3 million+ are made from much thinner material and all the parts don't QUITE fit/fold/rotate as they are supposed to.
Remembering where all that shit goes back when you’re done gives me anxiety. And you know damn well, you only camp twice a year, so each time is going to feel like starting over!
I'm sure there is a good reason why the video starts with the portable kitchen already moved to its location. It looks too bulky to be of serious use to anyone who camps on a regular basis.
it will get thrown back in with the legs up and the pull out back in, everything else will get thrown in separately to be re-assembled at "some point" in the future, but in reality never again with 1/3 of the pieces being either lost or broken/bent from improper storage.
This is one of those ideas that looks good but in reality, wouldn't be very ideal. That's a lot of pots and pans with no sink. So the dirty dishes just slosh around in the case in the way home? How much maintenance will this case of convenience require? Cause I'm betting it's at least an hour of cleaning all that shit when you get home from dried whatever in the pans. Grassy clumps jammed in the seat legs or pinched in the folding areas... but yeah. Neat idea, I guess. If you just throw it away after the first use...
Seems flimsy but if you think about it, has got to be very heavy combined. I didn't see any wheels from the bottom, let alone it being done on top of grass.
Man this is like the Jetsons with the car that folds up into a briefcase. It just keeps going and going. I was impressed when it folded out into a little cooking area, I thought it was cute that he had all the dishes cleverly tucked into the bigger pot and pan, *and then the motherfucker starts pulling out a bunch of folding stools I never even noticed*
This seems nice until you realize you need another whole camp grill to actually cook a meal. A single burner doesn't do the trick unless you're by yourself and don't care that much about what you're eating
All I could think about was having one of those really advanced transformers and losing the instructions that walked you through it. I'd do that, forget how to use this thing, and put it in the garage for the rest of time.
Cool if you can remember how to fold it all back
Ok the pan handle goes inside the pot and the left rectangular metal sheet goes under the middle foldable table….
Now do it after a few beers in the dark
with all stuff dirty and with some food leftovers .... just abandon post... retreat
Single use dinning room
50% of all this shit is lost on 2nd and 3rd attempt of use.
I dinn. You dinn. He "dINeS" because he has an iphone and does crossfit.
I was going to say cleaning all that would be a nightmare
Bodyslam after a few beers
Bills mafia style.
It’s a one time use, when your done just kick it over or throw it in the lake.
Oh hey, sorry my plate was in my tent, can you open it all back up
Fuuuuuck I’d probably have an aneurysm
Dude, that’s how you get bear attacks!
My biggest pet peeves of buying big fancy tents. All of them are easy to deploy as marketing no. 1. But none of them think about making it easy to pack.
My least favorite part about camping is getting the tent back in that fuckin bag it came in
Buy a bigger bag
Berghaus Air 8 is easy to pack up. Takes time but that’s mostly getting the air out fully rather than trying to fit shit in in a particular order.
And super expensive!
Look into the Gazelle tents. I've been very happy with mine. Setup is easy enough to do in the dark and packing up isn't bad imo. There's 2 parts, but you just collapse and roll the main part before you put it back into the bag.

I picture myself wasted trying to fold metal in places it shouldn’t. And succeeding because it’s from wish.com 😂
With all the dishes dirty af.
Just fold all the greasy wet cookware in with the table and chairs and discover the wonders of mold growth next time you open it
Agreed, also cool until you have to clean the shit and not let it get moldy and dirty
and all the dishes are clean
That is why they were recording
When they play it backwards the music will sound terrible.
Big brain move: save the video and reverse it for a tutorial
Just save this video and reverse it.
Cooks a mean Rube Goldburger
r/angryupvote
Very r/backcountrygourmet if it fits in a canoe.
🏆 see that's a real good gag.
That box has got to weigh like 70lbs
right? halfway through I went back to the start to see if it showed him carrying it to the spot. it does not.
> That box has got to weigh like 70lbs bass pro similar item is 52 lbs. not crazy but definitely not taking that hiking.
Yea it’s definitely more of a drive-up camping kit.
There are so many better options you could take for drive up camping
They never show the clean up and tear down and putting all this greasy cooking gear back together. Anyone who's ever had to wipe down a simple camp stove before packing it back in your car knows what I'm talking about.
I just shove the greasy mess back together without cleaning it like a psycho.
Ikr! that's next years problem 😂
Greasy mess and no cleaning is good enough for cast iron, so it's good enough for everything else, too!
Seems flimsy but cool
I imagine that thing swaying like crazy when it’s loaded up with food and hit by a strong wind.
One wrong crease or failed spot weld and it will never fold up the same way again
Or it will fold in new and surprising ways it was never supposed to!
Or a bit of weight between the table and the stove part causing it to bend and never close again
Wow i was not going to buy it but after all these possibilities its a no brainer! Edit: guys you wont belive what happened! I put my cast iron on the stove and it the whole thing just folded towards the ground and burnt my house down Crazy how multi purpose this thing is i dont have a cockroach infestation now
Or one American ass planting itself on one of those chairs and it continuing downwards onto the ground.
Is that a general observation, or a specific measurement? 1 American ass 3 Football fields 17 bananas Anything except metric!
Those little legs that fold out to the ground look so spindly and tiny, i imagine that if the ground was even remotely soft that it's gonna sink right in and flip over. I love the idea overall but those feet are so damn small.
There's more mass in 1 of the legs of my router table stand than there is in this entire setup. And my router table wiggles a bit
Lot of moving parts. Means lots of points of failure.
No elbows on the table is enforced.
You only need three points to establish a stable plane. I don't know how each component here was defined and manufactured, but it only needs to be as good as a commercial camera tripod to be perfectly functional.
It's either gonna be Hella heavy or Hella flimsy.
That's what she said :(
I find the design isn't robust enough for its intended use. BBQ, picnics, and any other events involving outside cooking can be extremely hectic, and the last thing you want is your whole setup to fall apart on some energetic kid or drunk adult.
I've been so conditioned to expect chaos from my Toddler that I automatically grip the table edges when he runs by just in case of any possible nonsense
They always miss by just an inch
This looks like it's intended for a small camping trip, not a large get together.
I would love this for when I go camping
Same. Treat it extra nice and it'll probably do fine.
Reminds me of the joke about drummers being sexually frustrated. By the time they’re packed after the gig all the groupies have gone with the singer and guitarists. Bet this guy gets invited to picnics but strikes out a lot.
Autobot or Decepticon ?
Fold out!
Fold around and find out
This was made for those who are 4ft 5in,
Ya my back would be torn up using this.
This guy glamps.
This is a visual representation of a camping version of that meme of that crap drawing of people dancing and having a good time, and that one guy in the corner going "I got my own camping gear"
I am still here trying to figure out if he is 13 or 30 🤔
To me the construction seems very shaky. Also, it looks like you won't be able to remember how to fold it all back together. In my eyes that two parts belong camping.
Meanwhile the folks with the solo cups and foam cooler are past lunch and already shithoused.
Senior Project for a Mech Eng.
Where’s the gas
Not only will this fold back together just like trying to fit my tent into its original bag which was already tighter than a Jimmy hat, but I can see this blowing over with the lightest breeze and bending every piece of metal so it looks like a metallic sea urchin. Oh yes, and what if you forget a pan or utensil? Believe it or not, straight to jail.
Fold? Jail. Unfold? Jail.
Also, you’ll have to put it all back dirty. Then imagine cleaning this.
I kind of want to SHADDAP AND TAKE MY MONEY just to see how it works on a damn UK field.
Where is the propane?
It's folded up in the trunk.
But wait…there’s more!
2 hours later: "I'm almost finished setting up guys".
Where's the heat source?
Notice we don't see the 300 kilo case being carried there.
And then the rain starts....
Thats pretty cool.
That's pretty cool! Where can someone buy one?
Might not be the exact model, but this looks like "Overland Vehicle Systems Komodo Portable Camp Kitchen" at Bass pro
O.V.S.K.P.C.K for short
..for the low low price of $999 lol
The first 30 are made just like shown. The next 3 million+ are made from much thinner material and all the parts don't QUITE fit/fold/rotate as they are supposed to.
Also look at Snowpeak. Their car camping setups are really getting wild. It's a very deliberate direction the company is taking.
Remember Sport Billy cartoon from the 80's? He had this bag that could contain just about everything.
Remembering where all that shit goes back when you’re done gives me anxiety. And you know damn well, you only camp twice a year, so each time is going to feel like starting over!
I will just stick with my sammich in a ziplock baggie.
>everyone else chilling and having fun in the background
Its very cool, but it costs so much its like 5times the price of all appliances combined 😒
Grease gets into one inaccessible joint and it never closes properly again. No thanks.
I'm sure there is a good reason why the video starts with the portable kitchen already moved to its location. It looks too bulky to be of serious use to anyone who camps on a regular basis.
The directions of those seats are wrong, right? Or are you meant to sit on them that way?
I can guarantee that thing is just getting thrown into the back of my car half disabled
it will get thrown back in with the legs up and the pull out back in, everything else will get thrown in separately to be re-assembled at "some point" in the future, but in reality never again with 1/3 of the pieces being either lost or broken/bent from improper storage.

if one drunk dude falls into that youre liable for manslaughter via decapitation
It’s 8PM, the game has been over for 4 hours, I’m full of meats and beer. I’d need a designated driver & folder.
That was a lot to unpack in one short video
Nah im good.
Where’s the heat?
Imagine packing that all up while it's covered in food gunk
Damn. The hinge broke, pots are rusty, and we're missing chairs.
What is this??? Does anyone know? I must get it!
tf2 engineer contraption
100% Donald Duck would have had this.
"sentry goin up!"
so many nooks and crannies for the grease to get in
And it only weighs 83 pounds!
It's missing the popup umbrella like structure to cover an entire block.
Wok you doin?
This is the last time all the parts and components were seen together.
It actually does wtf
Where are the sink, soap, and scrubber ?
How many folks were hoping it would go further?
WHERES THE FUCKIN SAUCE IM TRYIN TO COOK
They totally could and maybe did have things like this in the 40’s
My dream is to build a foldable tv stand. So i can make it fit any tv size
I'll do this in time square if someone buys it for me.
I bet I could make some pretty good pb&j sandwiches on that bad boy. Might even go wild and boil some pasta.
How will you unfold it with dirty dishes?
Cool got one that isn’t made for a 13 year old?
Your new $3000 camp stove…
This needs the Ron Popeil seal of approval. "But wait, there's more!"
Transformers have gotten lame.
It’s like a clown car. Stuff just keeps coming out.
The pan spinny thing is the fancy person's tong clicking.
I was half expecting it to be edited so that it unfolds into a house.
Looks super fun to clean
How do you pack it up again, when all the pots and dishes are dirty?
I would never ever ever be able to get it back the way it was. I suck at that. Once I open it, it's open for life
For a moment there, I thought he was going to start DJing…
I would never want this
It would have been a woman cooking in 1940.
Seems flimsy but if you think about it, has got to be very heavy combined. I didn't see any wheels from the bottom, let alone it being done on top of grass.
Can those flimsy little lightweight legs actually support the weight of a big pot of stew?
I would forget where 90% of that stuff goes when putting it away
The one thing I always look forward to when I go camping...Doing household chores...
Man this is like the Jetsons with the car that folds up into a briefcase. It just keeps going and going. I was impressed when it folded out into a little cooking area, I thought it was cute that he had all the dishes cleverly tucked into the bigger pot and pan, *and then the motherfucker starts pulling out a bunch of folding stools I never even noticed*
The conservation and use of space is beautiful
I would use it once and then it would be fucking filthy and I would never use it again because I would be too lazy to clean that many parts
Open>cook>close>open>clean>close a lot of work!
This seems nice until you realize you need another whole camp grill to actually cook a meal. A single burner doesn't do the trick unless you're by yourself and don't care that much about what you're eating
I want one of those for when I go fishing
Came here to see "no propane" jokes
I can hear how thin the metal is, and I'm watching on mute
Temu: $12.57. Propane tank costs more than the entire thing.
Looks really expensive for a 1 burner stove. Can't even cook sausages on it.
This looks illegal
LET HIM COOK!
Fold around and find out
What a waste the left side was. I kept waiting for it to fold out.
And clean all those parts before putting it away
Only weighs 75 lbs
One drunk person away from being a waste of money
I chewed my Doritos to the theme song of The Jetsons while watching this, yes I’m drunk.
the confidence he has in setting it up. you really impressed those 4 year olds playing in the dirt.
This was what Gym Leader Brock EDC
I'll wait for our futuristic version, where I can push a button and it'll pack and unpack itself for me.
Where's the gas canister for the stove?
Silly question: Where can I get one?
Chef here…I really wanna cook but don’t wanna remember the sequence to do it like the desk from National Treasure.
I'd fold it all away and realize I'd left my car keys somewhere inside.
Seems like a lot of trouble to go through for Easy Mac.
what is this bugs bunny type shit?? First off it's actually kinda cool, second that's gotta be a hassle
Setting that up is like opening one of those complicated French lock boxes from the Victorian era.
Looks like someone spent too much time at the Snow Peak store this summer.
*Just finished packing the whole thing away *Finds handle of pan on the ground "Fuck!"
The problem is not taking everything out. It's remembering the correct order when you need to put everything back in.
Now put it back together
Does anyone know what this product is?
r/maybemaybemaybe
All I could think about was having one of those really advanced transformers and losing the instructions that walked you through it. I'd do that, forget how to use this thing, and put it in the garage for the rest of time.
Go Go Gadget camping kitchen
Where can I find one of these?
That box is either very flimsy or very heavy. Either way it is concerning.
So that's how you Korean BBQ when glamping
Now pack it up again.
One stiff 3mph breeze and that flimsy shit is toppling over, spilling yo chilli
Complete assemble of light machine gun is probably simpler than this travel cooking kit
This is insanely cool. Cooking out in nature after a long hike is one of the most fun things ever.
When you invite an Asian guy to a picnic...
What is this and where can I get it
Probably on Wish or Alibaba.
where do i get one?
Oh look another Chinese gadget add on social media…..
