    Post We are making WilderNest Campers!

    Hi all

    That's right, you didn't read wrong. We are making WilderNest Campers.

    We have looked at the WilderNest Campers, researched it, and loved it. We are familiar with the procedures that go into making the camper, and we are confident that we have the skills and resources that could bring it back to life. The new WilderNest Campers will of course be an improvement from what is already out in the market.

    You can help revive this wonderful product by filling out this short survey. It will take less than 2 minutes. Click here to take survey.

    If you are interested in the launch of the product, please provide your email address at the bottom of the survey (optional) and we'll make sure you are the firsts to know. Don't worry, it's not a scam. We're a real manufacturing company that has been around since 1987.

    We are excited.

    P.S: Please forward this survey link to anyone who would be interested in the WilderNest Campers: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/LGBDN3L

    Very cool to bring back a product that was/is loved...
    Did you buy the name also? Not sure how all that works on something that was around.

    If I could rewind the clock I would never have bought my FJ Cruiser and gotten a 4dr truck with some sort of folding/popup camper.

    One of the things I like about the Flippac & Wildernest is how someone can sleep while someone else moves around...
    what my wife likes is how she can stand & change clothes or get out of bed at night and pee without hassle.

    Sure we currently have a Sportsmobile which is an amazing rig...but before that I dumped a ton of money into an FJ Cruiser and sold it and I think none of that would have happened if I had known more about other options at the time.

    My concerns are:
    wind/dust when it is open
    rain/snow if it happens, yeah I am in Phx but I travel other places
    Hi Profile version that is easier to get in/out and allows standing under fold out as rain shelter
    low profile version for those wanting to max mpg
    long term life span of something that gets stress on the hinge area
    cigar smoking, wilderness first responding, ham talking night nurse who is overland certified and a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society.....
    now everyone say "so what where have you been lately?"

    I have owned and lived out of both a wildernest and a flip pac. really liked the tent fabric on the nest but broke the springs on it! the cables do wear on the fabric over time. I like the flip pac system way better but the tent and rain fly just don't cut it in wet climates. my summer in AK was WET. good luck with the revival!

    Cool! I always wanted one for my truck, but it was impossible to find. Now I'm just holding out for an Eagle or a Bobcat.

    Many of us who already own 'Nests will be happy to be getting replacement parts. I'd seriously consider replacing the canvas on mine!

    Post Thanks

    Thanks for the suggestions/comments! Wow I'm really surprised by the amount of support coming from everywhere regarding our effort to bring the WilderNest Campers back.

    The survey responses have been excellent and this is extremely encouraging. If you haven't filled out the survey, please help us out by clicking this link. We're collecting as many responses as we can by the end of this month.

    You have to make one for 5' bed trucks, a Jeep version would be sweet too.
