Two+ Belugas can be zipped together into a weatherproof multi-shelter, quite similar in function to the RhinoWolf and other connectable modular tent systems. Plus, the Beluga has a bonus feature available to groups packing more than one. Qaou pushes the definition of 'distinct function' a little in rounding out its 6-in-1 claims by splitting the tent with awning and tent without into separate functions, but even if you combine them into one, 5-in-1 versatility is pretty impressive for a single 4.3-lb (1.9-kg) tent. Add in additional tent poles and pieces and they create a larger freestanding sunshade. The two panels can also team into a single hammock sheltered by a tarp or a simple A-frame-style tarp shelter on the ground. Each one can flip around and work as a single hammock, providing a daytime hang for each of the tent's two occupants. When not fighting wind and rain over top the tent, the two rain fly sheets detach to create alternative configurations. Qaou uses one rain fly panel to cover the tent itself and a second as an awning around the entry way. The key to its flexibility is the two-piece rain fly used in place of the typical single-piece fly. But it can fold, stretch, zip, string and stake into much more than just that. In basic tent mode, the Beluga looks like a cookie-cutter dome tent that you'd see anywhere from a discount sporting goods store to a high-end outdoor gear boutique. What really impresses about the Beluga, though, is Qaou's signature 6-in-1 versatility, first launched on an evolving tent line that got its start in 2017. Each tent repurposes 125 plastic bottles, which is certainly nice for those looking to go a little greener while overnighting in nature. Qaou launched a Kickstarter campaign this week to promote the eco-friendly design of its new two-person Beluga, which uses a waterproof fabric based on recycled plastic. Stay warm and cozy by sleeping on the elevated platform that keeps you off the cold hard ground. Everything you need for camping is included in this set with a zippered tent and an elevated sleeping cot.

The Beluga treats campers to everything from Saturday afternoon couples' hangs to full-on off-grid camper communes. Get a comfortable night’s sleep and wake up re-energized for adventure with this 2-in-1 camping tent and cot combo from Outsunny. Instead of stopping at two or three functions, this Swiss Army-like tent performs six, and that's not even counting its ability to connect with other Belugas and create multi-person super-tents. But we still weren't prepared for the pure multifunctional chaos presented in the Beluga from French company Qaou. We've seen ground tents that jump up and hang out in trees, inflatable tents that double as rafts, and hammock shelters that drape over your shoulders and work as rain gear.
