Now that we’re on our way out of the winter months, it’s time to start planning for summer excursions (pandemic permitting, of course!) and there’s no better way to get away from being stuck inside for the past year than hitting the trails in the great outdoors… and now you can set up camp Star Trek style!
Debuting this week from Ukonic — and we swear this isn’t an April Fool’s Day gag, as it’s been in development for some time now — the new two-person Star Trek: The Next Generation Shuttlecraft Justman pop-up camping tent will help you brave the elements on your nature-bound away mission.
Do you ever look up at the stars and wonder… where is the U.S.S. Enterprise? We sure have! Stargaze all night long with this pop-up camping tent inspired by Star Trek: The Next Generation. The authentic design resembles a small-scale Federation Type 6 shuttlecraft, as seen attached to the Enterprise-D.
Now you can boldly go where no one has gone before right here on Earth. The durable construction is made to withstand harsh weather and conditions, including a B3 mesh design to repel insects and mosquitoes. This camping tent is perfect for your away mission to a local campground or an evening of stargazing right in your own backyard. You could even use this spacious tent to transform a Twin XL bedroom into a fabulous shuttle bay.
Built to comfortably sleep 2-3 people, this tent is easy to set up for all of your outdoor adventures. The convenient pop-up design means no assembly is required, so Trekkies can enjoy a hassle-free experience. The camping tent features a portable design and comes complete with a carrying bag for storage. Easily pack it up for your intergalactic missions across the cosmos.
Note: Metaphasic shielding function not guaranteed.
The pop-up tent is named for classic Star Trek and first-season Star Trek: The Next Generation producer Bob Justman, who was nearly as influential as Gene Roddenberry himself in building the foundation of the Trek franchise, as part of Roddenberry’s team dating back to “The Cage” in 1964.
Based upon the Enterprise-D’s Type-6 shuttlecraft of the same name — Beverly Crusher’s metaphasic shield test shuttle seen in “Suspicions,” which returned in “Gambit, Part II” — the Justman tent is retailing at $139 and on sale now at the Toynk store.
