Makes sense - RP1 is silly small
Still unlikely you'll be able to putt a butt ring behind your alarms - you can with a Fox Quattro however!

Bound to be a mk2 out this year which will be an XL version. I think they need to be a little wider as well as the length.
My situation is that I have a 3 rod stainless Defiant Trident
It's custom made with 16 inch cross at back 17 at front and shorter than usual sticks.
It makes for a very rock solid pod. I've tripped up and landed on it and cut my thigh open. It's didn't move.
However, I haven't fished more than 2 rods for 10 years. And rarely do more than 24 hours. After using a little KNX 2 rod pod
With my kids 9 foot dwarf rods It made the Defiant feel very heavy.
I'm not a serial upgrader but I will swap for.stuff that makes setup quicker so I was impressed with this pod.
Since then I've weighed my Defiant It's 2.72kg. The Jag is 1.4
So not the massive weight saving I first thought. And if its dinky then stability worries me. As that Nash one just about handles 9 foot dwarfs and will happily tip over.
Curious, I weighed.my very comfy but heavy old Nash indulgence wideboy that was 12.7kg
A standard wychwood Tactical is only 8kg . I dont need a wide.any more. So that's a much better weight saving.
Decisions....

So admit it you've lost shed loads of weight and all your kit is now to heavy for you to push

I have lost weight since then. But I'm also a lot older lol
The bedchair has been on my mind as it takes a lot of room in the Tempest 100t. It's way wider than I need. Especially as they don't have adjusting wheels anymore.
I find it heavy and cumbersome in and out if van, on and off barrow and in and out of the bivvy. Yet when I take my stealth bed it's a one hand job.
Plus,.again for speed of setup I want to fold my bag in it.

My old indulgence, can't remember model, very early one, weighed a ton, lost my rag with and threw it off an enbankment onto a concrete jetty twenty feet down.

I will be keeping mine though. As heavy and big as it is and huge overkill for 24 hour trips.
Its rock solid, doesnt even creak. Legs stay extended. My son has used it twice as an actual bed
For a few months when we first moved to this house. And again last year when he broke his leg.
So when I get to go on longer trips again it will still get used.
