![*SUPER RARE* THE PARADIGM IS BACK?!?!? Fortnite Item Shop [August 6th, 2024] (Fortnite Chapter 5)](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/ru6xSH1RaPw/mqdefault.jpg)
Nice review. Btw, temperature for weather reports is measured as shade temperature. That's why your thermometer left out in the sun is reading hotter than the weather reading.
Being on the ground didn't help. The ground is hotter than the air. Solar heat gain.
It’s a shiny ice fishing tent. Love mine.
Ordered a shiftpod & will be relying on it in extreme weather. Your video makes me more confident I will be OK in it! Thanks for this video!
Cool video, relaxing outside under a tarp or what ever and sleeping in a cool tent is what it,s for most of the time.
Awesome review and comparison! & that’s being said after having watched a ton of Shiftpod videos on RUclips. Thanks for setting up both tents to get temperature data, and giving a better visual of the usable space inside!
Awesome review. Thanks for taking the time to put some gear inside to give us a sense of the size.
That was pretty interesting . Thanks for taking the time !
Fantastic video! You did an excellent job of describing the product, comparing it to the "regular tent", and didn't do a bunch of unnecessary talking. Thanks
Excellent review. Thank you.
I like it and it certainly has possibilities!
Great review.
It's amazing love it
This would be awesome for Australia on both the beach and in the desert 👍
How does it handle rain?
I would like to see some more closable vents to catch those cooler breezes. Perhaps opening those lower underside triangular parts of the sides. I could easily see those having zips along each of the edges to allow for left, right and bottom openings to allow for directional capture of any prevailing breeze. And because they are partially sheltered they would be more protected from direct sunlight entering the pod, unlike those portholes
Really wish I would have seen this before I bought the Shiftpod III+. It's way to big for me! This is the size I need
Ok, if I’m camping in the desert I’m getting the floor!
Just buy an insulated ice fishing tent and pocket tons of cash.
Thank you! seriously didn't even think of that.
I know Im asking randomly but does anybody know of a way to get back into an Instagram account?
I was stupid forgot my account password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me!
@Jayden Darwin Instablaster :)
@Bobby Jorge I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm trying it out atm.
Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Bobby Jorge it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my ass :D
Is it waterproof? I love this . Going to buy one.
I think they are out of their mind!
Looks awesome I bet it works great as well but is it worth the money?
Those ten degrees might be manageable by opening the window and door in another similar tent without the reflective material?
And it probably fits under an ez-up to give it extra protection with all outside elements. It would be even cooler. Or warmer... in winter/summer....
wont be long untill a lot of tents offer a shinny reflective rain fly/sun shield, in fact if this shelter had a second refective cover/rain fly with air flow between it might make its high price a bit more acceptable, mabey include a solar powered fan,
I'm giving my Roofnest Falcon 1 more year before I potentially replace it for a ShiftPod.. we'll see how 2021 goes
For us northern-climate folks, I wish they'd make an inverted version with the reflective material inside for heat retention to winter use. I know some company makes an ice fishing shelter with interior reflective material but there's no floor.
Did you try it in high heat?
looks like it keep you really warm like a giant take out food foil box
So you misspelled the name of the tent?
Shiftpod is a modified ice fishing tent for twice the price.
is ice fishing tent insulated to keep heat out? all I've ever stayed in were lightweight shelters in the desert, sucked sleeping in one during the Summer during drills in the Sonoran desert.
Yup...just git u sum of those shiny oven mitts and tape on sides and roof. Tada, instant shit pod for half price of a real shift pod.
When I was driving yesterday, I saw a guy cleaning one of these things off in his front yard, and I couldn't figure out what it was. How did RUclips know to feed me this video so that I now know?
the FBI agent who watches you told them
They track your every movement satellites
Spoooky...
Timothy Roper somebody is watching you.
Big brother is always watching, he loves you.
How does it handle the wind. The wind can blow pretty hard in the desert. It is not uncommon to have gusts to 70 MPH.
About like an ice fishing hut I imagine
Not as aerodynamic as a dome tent but these type of popup hub shelters are good up to around 30mph as long as you guy-out the center of each side.
How much is this mini tent?
This thing would never work in the south. Not enough windows. When it’s hot and muggy u need as much air flow as u can get. Those tiny ports wouldn’t do a thing
In desert environments you can take advantage of evaporative cooling. That isn't an option in muggy environments. Better to spend the money on solar panels, a tarp, and a legitimate cooling system. Downside of evaporative cooling is the need for a reliable water source.
Good video. I think it would have been better to have taken the ground temperature in the shade instead of direct sunlight. Also, I would have taken the tent temps with all the windows open/
It is 400 on the site. Worth the price ??
Sorry but the mini looks really small. Still can't tell if you can stand up in it if you are under 6ft. Can you discuss in more detail? Thx
- It would be great in winter with a stove jack and a wood stove.
I really would like to see what would the result if you deployed a shiftpod mini inside a shiftpod XL !
No Ventilation?
Also on trail recon
I don't think I would put the floor out if you're going to put chairs and tables in there. They're going to wear out and get torn.
A 34 pound tent?
Where can I buy one?
I'm very interested in this
Just google shiftpod
How dark does it get inside with the windows closed during the day?
Dark
You should have filmed a setup and tear down.
What if it rains
👍🏻👍🏻
How would it do in the snow? tks
I think the poor man's solution is to buy the cheaper tent and setup a reflective tarp over it. Might not work as well, but I bet having a big reflective emergency type tarp/blanket over the cheaper tent would definitely help the less expensive option.
Make sure the distance between the tarp and tent is great enough to prevent thermal transfer.
Unless it has an AC unit forget it!
From what I've heard and what I've read about these things they're great the cube design is always been super strong and the material that they're made out of is very good waterproof well insulated the only problem is the price on these things the average everyday Joe cannot afford one I am definitely the average everyday Joe I love how they connect together or at least the bigger ones do you can make a whole city out of them but then again for the larger ones over $2,000 are you kidding me most people cannot afford that that is the only downside other than that I would definitely own one. And if they can make them airtight to hold oxygen they could probably sell them to NASA for the next Mars Landing
The mini is on sale for 399 right now on shiftpod.
@@deweyjohnson783 thanks for the reply Dewey I appreciate it much yeah 399 I still wouldn't pay that looks like a very convenient piece for sure but I mean you got to pay for a zip in floor and that's zippin so that's not waterproof I think if I was going to Shell out the cash for that I would prefer the Russian design winter tent. Check that one out for sure it's on Survival Russia. It has way more options and sets up basically like a umbrella oh, and is so insulated that it would probably be great for the summer time to as far as weight goes they're both heavy. Anyway thanks again stay safe stay well and as always God bless.
looks like my ice fishing tent.
But with a floor
It’s pretty decked out
a big tarp hanging on top of a regular tent would do a better job in desert , more ventilation and much more versatile. although I do think this insulated tent can benefit in a cold camping site, if it’s in dark color to absorb heat from the sun.
👍NICE!👍🇺🇸
You need a better thermometer when testing these.....*Cough-land* is not as trustworthy....and also place it above ground or hang it from the tents at the same height?
That test was totally rigged.
The four window view alone I’m sold .. $399
I'm going to go ahead and say....the tent is ten degrees hotter than the outside air temp But.... I'm going to go ahead and say, that it's cooler than the other tent. I'm going to go ahead and wonder how wet it would be in the morning.
It'd be better in winter if it was reversible or rather ...just dark on the outside to attract and absorb the sun's heat... rather than reflect the sun away with all that silver mirroring...
I’d put some Camo netting over top of it
It’s 400 now
Why show us a known defective thermometer? Better yet, why even have one? ;o)
Other than THAT it was a good review. You have a good personality. It's the best looking of all the tents that are this style. Right now the price is $399.00. My little 30 ounce backpacking tend set me back $700.00 and it's a single walled tent
so this would have been good for the area 51 raid?
You need saucer shaped ones to be incognito.
Camping on mars
The Shitpod Oven. Great place to cook a chicken.
people can't resist saying I'm going to go ahead and
Stupid idea. I know it's for the desert but still, those windows are rain catchers, and maybe a dusting of snow, but anymore and that roof would collapse. Plus the weight and cost? Throw a tarp up to block the sun, buy a tent with really large window openings, something, and you'll have the same for a few bucks.
Dream on try it at a 120 degrees and think realistically I live in the desert this is a waist of money
$499.00
Poorly run test. The temperature should of been taken outside in the shade first, not in direct sunlight.
No discussion of surviving in the heat should start anywhere but with shade. Anyone who has ever spent any time where it is that hot can verify this. Crawling inside an insulated box sitting out in the sun should appear to anyone to be the stupidest possible thing we could do. The idea that they are so proud of all their air vents should demonstrate that they are trying to solve the problem that they have created by having walls in the first place.Observing the behavior of animals who live in the heat will show that seeking shade first, and water second are their two top priorities. This is why many desert creatures are only active at night. Direct sunlight on you, your clothing, or your shelter is enemy number one. A simple canopy providing shade will run rings around any of these super high tech shelters that appear to believe that being inside four walls is somehow necessary to shelter someone from heat. How such a notion came to be, I do not know. Besides being in a cave, or some other version of underground, the only enclosure I’m interested in is one for keeping out bugs, but offering as little resistance to air flow as possible. Especially in places shown here with their isn’t a tree in sight for miles, unless you can find a sufficient rock overhang, including a shade canopy of some kind that shades the entire structure two or 3 feet above the structure itself would probably double its performance. A ‘rain fly’ should would great for this.
$500
600 doller to reduce 10c. Not worthy
So it was 100° and you are wearing pants and a black shirt. While not sweating your ass off? That doesn't add up. Im guessing the thermometer was rigged.
Shit pod. Desert bog.
half off right now
These ShiftPods are just an overpriced Ice Fishing Tent.. The company that makes these things are just hoping nobody has a friend from a cold climate who will point them toward much better options from Eskimo (among other brands) who offer the same tent design for a fraction of the cost..
haha... just under 600 bucks... good luck.... that shit aint worth 200 bucks...
Way Over Priced & Bulky...NEGATIVE
Interesting, but, no one is camping in this ugly, expensive pod/tent, no one, no where. I dare say, until the company can convince normal people to spend their own money, then spend a few camping trips, through the heat of the desert, the rain of a few thunderstorms, then the snow of a blizzard, is anyone going to give this thing a glowing endorsement. I am a tarp camper, quick, cheap, dependable in all weather. If I need a tent, in the desert, and it may be possible, some day, I know my tarp will suffice. It will not cost what that ugly, expensive pod costs. BTW money is not my issue. I have much experience in the heat of multiple deserts of the world. Shade, breeze, water, those are the issues of the desert heat. Texas
I agree
Agree. I dig the dome , style. Any recommendations for something that isn’t 1300 bucks but is a little more room for a family
You're actually wrong. I've seen plenty of people camp in these.
These ShiftPods are just an overpriced Ice Fishing Tent.. The company that makes these things are just hoping nobody has a friend from a cold climate who will point them toward much better options from Eskimo (among other brands) who offer the same tent design for a fraction of the cost..
I just found the shift pod a week ago because I was looking for the absolute BEST Four Season shelter because I want to combine it with my invention, a Rocket Stove
(in the-ground) Earthen Thermal Mass Heating System! It will heat a 100 +/- shelter easily, AND
It will help keep it cool in summer also because Earth temps are always lower than ambient temperature...
Tested in multiple locations king of hammers burning Man a lot of emergency situations they've improving intestine that's what I want to work with. They used YKK zippers and carbon graphite hubs and struts I was so impressed with her system just blown away like I had envisioned, EXACTLY what I envisioned An Ice Fishing Shelter Hub on steroids, that will be good for all ALL seasons Cold and hot weather both and high winds which I think we're going to be having to deal with more and more they're like a perfect emergency shelter and that's what I've been looking for for 20 years actually since I had a picture burned into my mind about 40 years ago of a bunch of tents across a pasture and I KNEW that they were refugees and if I didn't do something to help them they would die and then in the year 2000, 20 years later I had a powerful, -like real-time real-life Technicolor
-like-I-was-there, vision of an underground house and a homeless Family. That shook up my world,
charged me up and set me on a course that's included a website, a book, and a RUclips channel ALL with the same name; How To Get Out Of Babylon and ALL trying to figure out how to help homeless people in horrible and emergency situations.
I think this is what I've come to other than building houses underground we need to have some shelter that will absolutely stand up to high winds and snow and ice and extreme temperatures; we will see heat and cold and this is like the most PERFECT thing I've ever found;
"Space Age Tent for Space Age Conditions!!"
