urban camping
my forays into urban camping have been much lower profile than this. I usually go for rooftops and places i wont get noticed. this seemed a bit to ballsy for my taste, but cool anyway

OMG that car tent is AMAZING! If you can find a street with free over-night parking you are set!

Damn... sounds like I don't need to be paying rent after all.
Great find Court. I want to see someone camp out on the LV Strip.

The car tent looks like it's not very portable - the frame's been welded together, but I could see a "New Beetle" version coming out with fiberglass poles that would be super portable...

Ooh the car tent is kinda cool. Wouldn't work in DC though because there's NO PARKING! Even for real cars!

I think this car tent could go beyond camping... like saving a parking spot for a major event (concert or spritng event?) or something like that.
scadalous!!
