Re: cooling your tent or van

As long as we are all geeking out on swamp coolers, I thought I'd pass this along. I have absolutely no connection to this company and don't benefit from anything they sell. Just thought it was a cool video which includes what has to be a 4 foot x 4 foot evaporator surface. HUGE! Maybe good for som...
