Nice commercial as an avid fan of camping I've heard of R.E.I. Co-op and even considered buying their products from Ebay sellers but often bypassed the chance to purchase Coleman products instead based upon their statis as the kings of outdoor equipment. This commercial has changed my mind. Just too bad they never used it as such. I understand why looking at the commercial you see a boy who apparently is a troubled kid acting up in school. You get a glimpse of the boy viewing what looks to be family videos while the father is packing the car for a camping trip. On route to their destination there is no conversation between the two and the overall sadness expressed by both made it obvious to me that the boys mother/fathers wife has recently died. Probably the main reason why the commercial was never used or am I overreacting here. However, the interaction between father and awesomely cute son while camping really was touching to me emotionally. Thanks for posting this ![]() |
