Review of the Walkingpod

[mtwarden]

The guys at the Expo were approached by a gentleman with a pretty interesting piece of gear and while not marketed for hunters, with some tweaking, could work.

It's called the Walkingpod and while not clothing, not exactly a shelter either— something in between. I've got one to test out and will report back when finished testing.

Stay tuned.

Walking Pod Review - Rokslide

The fellows at Rokslide met the owner of this company at the recent Expo and arranged to have one sent to me for review. Ignore the neon green color; it comes in much more neutral colors. Because sales among hunters have been so high, this is the only color they had in stock at the […]

This is just after the cliff test it, but it ends up being like a box kite and I just floated down—that could come in handy in retrospect

This would have an excellent tool to avoid contracting covid when in close proximity to the ungulates!

Mike, even your dog is like WTH?

Seriously though, this is an interesting piece I think more for a parent out in the weather watching soccer or some outdoor sport, but it might have a niche for some hunters in certain areas. The weight factor might keep it away from most ounce watchers, but for those who really want some weather protection and will be stationary, it could have a place.

I laugh this was posted on april 1, and am still halfway waiting for the giveaway by you and the staff that this is in fact a joke, despite the assurances it isn't.

@mtwarden if I remember correctly the owner was looking for new applications for this and was very willing to make changes to better suit different niches. In the future you might have an option that’s a little lower cost for say working the drive through at chick fil an and something lighter/more breathable for the outdoors. Geologists & photographers were also showing interest so I wouldn’t expect camo but likely an earth tone option.

The guys at the Expo did say he was open to all kinds of potential users.

Dang yall did @huntnful wrong

 

[IDVortex]

Will it Come in a solid color non neon? If so, I'd be interested in a couple.

 

[mtwarden]

They have a grey that isn't too bad; that's what I was supposed to get.


Just thinking out loud, how about mowing your lawn when the bugs are out thick? Or over bear bait when the bugs are bad?
