BCB Camp Bed

[@lydiawilson736]

great video! very helpful.

[@frazer1988]

Here’s a tip for you I used in Afghanistan for these style of beds. For the end that’s difficult to fit, stand the bed upright. Place your foot over the end bar and lift the entire bed with the end poll remaining under foot on the ground till you are able to locate the eyelet over the nipple. Hope that helps 👍 incase you don’t have anything to pry.

[@fiik451]

Hello, dont you know how to make the bed less noisy? Every time I move, the bed make terrible squeeky noise, it comes especially from the point where canvas meets the frame... Thnaks.

[@DaveNaylorUK]

This is the way.

[@traceywood9362]

I've just bought 2 ...thanks 👍🏼

[@MrBloobeetle]

I've had one of these for a long time now, it's a U.S Army cot bed. I've found the although the materiel does give a little it's still hard to leaver the last strut into place. I found that if you "roll" the last strut into place rather than putting one side in at a time it works better rather than carrying a small leaver around for it.

BCB CAMP BED....... SIR, I LIKED IMMENSELY THE IDEAL DESIGN AND PRODUCT. CONSTRUCTION. INDEED THE DESIGN IS PRAISE WORTHY AND A VERY USEFUL ONE. VERY WELL DONE. MAKE IT AVAILABLE IN INDIA AND I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE ONE. VATSA INDIA

[@jamowallace]

Loving the amount of vids you are uploading lately funky, keep up the good work! As my tag suggests a total rookie so this community i have just started watching is brilliant for people like me! Thanks for sharing, truly inspirational

[@truongthinhnguyen8589]

Good. I like it.

[@frikkiesmit2695]

They sleep very comfy. Just put a blanket down on it first

[@kambalapallyrajesh393]

excellent

[@rosspurfit9106]

Just bought one. Great piece of kit. You only use spacers when material stretches and they tighten it up. No need for levers and crowbars when new.

[@tubekerala851]

Super

[@ElPajaroMadrugador]

I had a problem ti close a bed like that and you save the day thank you

[@AM-pb1tq]

I got it for myself recently, mainly for camping. Used only couple of times, but what really annoys me is that its creaky as hell. Every time i move it creates loud creaky sounds. Its material rubbing against the aluminium frame. Am i missing something or it will go away overtime?

[@crankcuffin1948]

Bought this. Love it

[@kilburnicus]

How. Trying to keep off here. Be invisible. But. Tired,been out in the forest,last night,with my mate Gaz. In them,bleed'n winds. But. Who's doing the disliking ?. I've never disliked a vid ever. Even,if I have been offended. The height of bad manners. U've got a great channel. Get's my vote. Every time. Fantastic.

[@andronicusAde]

How and where can I buy this camp bed? Your feedback will be appreciated

[@BHeisler59]

A tip to installing the last end piece. Get one end started and stand the hammock up on its end. Place your boot on the unconnected end while you raise up the cot. It will go on. In case you don't have a pry tool.

[@taniachaplain220]

You didn't show us how to put the second end on :(

And you no I love it bud👍🏼🖤

Brilliant piece of kit, mate

[@budman200210]

Hi, I have two, for me and the Mrs. regarding getting the pole in the end, both mine have 3 adjustable straps underneath. just put bars in place then pull the 3 straps in. thought they were all like this?

[@DinglePrep]

My mum has 2 of these for when her and my Dad go away in the caravan or go and see family up north, they do get looser to put up but not so loose they are weakened. They have had theirs a while great bits of kit. Thanks Dan

[@simonhawker9277]

got an oversize version one meter wide by two meters and a bit long got matress size to match fab kit

[@SHawkeye007]

Looks a nice sturdy piece of kit, thanks for sharing Darren. ATB Shaun

[@ExploringAndMe]

Did it get better and more stretchy?

[@JannerManner]

Thank you so much for the tip 2:06. My new bed was KILLING me!

[@johnfitzgibbon6894]

They are really nice to sleep on, I used one for 6 weeks while in the USA. With our friend the US rangers.

[@SurviveSmart]

A good thing. I use a similar one within the Army since several years and it still works fine. Worth to buy it. atb, SNAKE

[@RDPproject]

I also went for the steel version. The aluminium versions that were on display next to mine were already starting to show wear on the end bars where they clip into the main frame....bugga that

[@bobbob-jw8uo]

any one knows how to make it my self .. I mean do any one have it's dimensions and the material used ? specially hinge ?

[@barrydunlop6405]

Mate where did u get the ground sheet from ? If you don’t mind

[@dog11222]

Nice vid, seems better than the oz tent version that I was thinking about....thx Funky!

[@Peacemaker29073]

I have had one of these for over 10 years, It sure beats sleeping on the ground and it makes putting on your shoes in the morning a lot easier.

[@RobertMcKenzie]

These beds are awesome. I used one back in the 90's for 2 months while on a military exercise. Not many nights in 2 months did I have a bad sleep. They are brilliant! But as you say, they are a lump .. not really backpack material lol

[@gazpal42]

They're a great piece of kit.

[@EmmanuelMachler]

Great bed funky, you seem to know where to get all the good gear. Great video mate!

[@shambhusinghbisht6849]

If I want to by it .how.

[@MrAC1978]

I used that same cot design last year during moose/deer season. It made for a good night sleep, but I recommend a foam pad with inflatable mat for winter conditions .

Looks like a nice comfy kip... and thumbs-up for the Numan :-)

[@jackmccormack6938]

These are the exact same models as the army issue ones that we use in cadets.. I've had to set up 100 to test if they're working! Heavy but you're right, excellent quality! Missing your overnighters funky, take care.. Cheers, Jack

[@Andersbork]

Great show and tell. I have used beds like that in the past and as you said it is important to get a good quality one. They are how ever a treat to sleep on. All the best, Rob

[@garyrgjoutdoors5325]

hi darren just thinking mate that when the frame goes or breaks dont throw it away you can pop the rivits scrap the ally and use the canvas for an a frame base just use the material as you would for an emergency stretcher you catch my drift atb mate

[@randywatson8347]

Seriously concidering to use this for extremely hot summer night's. Makes the back much cooler than sweating on the matras.

[@NovemberKilo113]

Excellent bitta kit for the Vehicle borne prepper, bit on the cumbersome side for us Boot only grunts though! Looks worth the money mate! Atb, K

Great vid funky. Looks good. ATB Ghost

[@Giveitagohero]

Funky I've spent the last month watching all your and Roaches vids, Its been an absolute treat. Great work buddy. FYI the canvas on these beds dont stretch infact they get tighter over time! What you need to do is wet the canvas with a good amont of water, it it will loosen up that the ends will go on and still be quite loose, but once it dried it tightens up perfect tight as a drum.

[@gunnadoitnow3492]

I've owned the Spinifex (Australian) version of this for a couple of years & use it regularly. They are great. It's identical to yours except for how the end bars attach.

[@outlanderbushcraft3100]

Hello funky ,these beds are great very comfortable , we,ve got a couple of them , one I got at a bootsale for a tenner , in perfect conditlon ,that was my bargain for the year lol .atb martin

[@Natschke_Family_Adventures]

We had a bunch of almost identical cots growing up only they were made of wood and quite heavy.

[@DougPalumbo]

Would love to get a heavy duty canvas (without frame) to bring into the woods and make a frame/base with branches and small logs. Could also make a hanging canvas 'hammock' with branches as head and foot rope spreaders.

[@dukespursuits1810]

hey Funky instead of using a bar to lever the last end just stand it up on its end, foot on the last bar to hold it down then fit into position. but yes will stretch abit in time

[@funkyprepper]

i tried that and nearly sliced my fingers off lol

[@buddylight2191]

Where did you find that bed at?

[@RDPproject]

That is almost identical to mine.

[@markkeating8806]

Personally I would rather have a bed chair not a great deal bigger but they are so comfy if ur talking long term, I use it alot when fishing best thing about them they have adjustable legs so can even it out when on uneven ground .that bed looks as comfy as sleeping on mdf! U will have to try 1 out and im sure u will rate them.atb essex

[@gorillaukbushcraft1306]

agree, ive a lower range trakker bed chair about £80 way more comfy than these, But to be honest I think this is more of an advertisement than a revue. Your not going to take either into the field if your a Bushcrafter, but if your away with the kids and your not moving far from the car I suppose they have there place. or your a carp angler on a budget and don't have back issues then it might be alright. Id die with this on a 24hr session. Cant help feeling this prepper malarkey is just glamping with all the gear, but everything is in olive drab lol

[@playa3232]

Excellent video, 13 dislikes? they must be anti-campers! I need a case like the one you go, mine is just as is with no case. Bollocks! (not sure what that means, but it's a term used in the UK quite a bit). I am going camping and fishing in Nevada for 6 nights, that cot is my bed for nearly a week! Lovely. Cheers mate!

[@LTDanno360mods]

i am 20.7 stone do you think it can hold me ?

[@lovefreebee]

oh no he did all wrong (the side bar small hole facing down just in case to use the mosquito net poles & the rubber ring is facing out not unless the canvas is stretchws/loose & using a crowbar to scratch the bed frame (standing the folding bed & use foot to yank it out the sidebar into the hole)...NYC!

[@adeylow]

From new you should use the other side of the end bar, the plastic rings are spacers to be used when the canvas stretches over time,

[@fakenews7266]

I was going to say the same thing , his is not a real USGI cot , the real ones have holes for putting in 4 support poles for the mosquito netting

Hi Darren, yeah them beds are comfy, i,m just back from a weekend up in Glencoe, among the mountains and snow, camping with the tipi, frontier stove and camp bed, It was like staying at the Hilton, a home from home, anyway i'm busy editing a video of the trip and should be up soon. Take it easy mate. Atb Stuart.

[@Shooter11B]

US Army issue cot copy. Funky, it's a knockoff! Damn, I should have held that back because now you have to give it away, lol. The best way to put them together is to stand them on their end, with one side of the cross bar in the hole, one side of the cross bar almost in the hole, then stand on the loose end of the bar and push the side of the cot with your body and lever the bar into the hole. Pretty quick and no tools required. Hope that helps.
