Fly fish enthusiast Ethan Smith has developed a method for ensuring that fellow fishing aficionados can spend as much time on the water as needed, with the 'Shoal Tent' -- a floating raft, that's equipped with a tent roof, that enables people to sleep on bodies of water.
This entirely inflatable tent doesn't require poles to be built, eliminating the confusion, and ensuring the abode can maintain its form against high winds. The comfortable six inch floor of this tent doubles as an air mattress, providing an effective place for a camper or adventurer to achieve a good night's rest. When not in use, this device can be rolled up, making for a simple carry between camping sites.
