The Japanese come up with a lot of weird stuff. This isn't as weird as the girlfriend pillows or sit down showers, but it's up there.

Apparently one of the ideas behind this is for quick escapes in case a bear stumbles upon you while camping. Really?

I would want some arms to help me run, or get up when I inevitably fall on my face while running blindly through the dark Japanese forest.

But this thing might serve an unintended purpose. It may make you look so strange and un-tasty to a bear that he may simply leave you alone, opting for the picnic basket instead.
