Okay, so I looked at the UFO and was like "woah, I could buy alot of gear for that price" and here comes Easton taking it to the next level...

So this one is $2k?

Why? What is so dramatically great that it warrants a $2000 price tag? Does it have a heater so I will be toasty when the temps drop into the "nether region?"

A built in wet bar?

Cmon, throw me a bone here...

$2000... This is just getting rediculous.

Maybe I will design a tent and drop a $6k price tag on it.

Hey, why stop at $2k? :p

@Rick,

Stick some reflective tape on it, say $20 and add a big fat ZERO to the price tag.  You will make millions.

God bless the cottage manufacturers that starting using Cuban a few years ago. You can get Cuban shelters that are a 70% less than these offerings and much lighter as well!

Drink the Kool Aid boys.

PS: I never thought a Hilleberg would look cheap to me....

$2000 is it going to space? did NASA design it? or is that GSA pricing?
