Finally, a product that makes camping...'bearable.'

Camping products are evolving and becoming more and more differentiated, but nothing is as unique as Japanese designer Eiko Ishizawa's newest creation, "The Great Sleeping Bear."

As for why he chose to create such a thing, Ishizawa explains, "by having the experience of transitional discoveries like finding a bear, realizing a little human face in his mouth, and recognizing details and shape of this commodity, I attempt to create this work as to be a medium for audiences to generate one's transitional perceptions and fantasies in reality."

Totally, bro. I definitely understand that...

In any case, the giant sleeping bag can zip all the way up to the mouth, making it look as though you literally got devoured by one. It also makes it insanely cozy.

But the practical purposes are surprisingly lacking. Sure, you might deceive a dumb bear into thinking you're one too, but what if he's on the prowl and he thinks you're a female? What then? You're screwed. Bear screwed. Or, what if an easily startled, trigger-happy hunter stumbles across you? Yeah...bad news bears.

Point is, use this bad boy at your own risk. Or, eliminate the risks entirely and just stick to sleepovers in the back yard. Totally your call.

But really, the big downside to the thing is its unbearable price (last bear pun, I promise). At $2,350, it's hard to imagine many people making an impulse buy.

But hey, if you've got the dough to blow and you wanna snuggle up in a bear-shaped cocoon of warmth, we're not here to stop you. But we may envy the hell out of you...

You can get the furry burrito here. But keep in mind, because they're handmade yours may be put on request until it's done being put together.

But even if - like most of us - you can't afford to drop over two grand on the thing, there's no denying its awesomeness.
