Camel Eats a Camelback Backpack - Say That 3x Fast


"Camelback backpack? You think that's funny? I'll show you what's funny."

Most people choose to escape the Arizona summer heat by vacationing to a cooler climate but at Nexus 21, we do everything differently. Heather Sanders, Nexus 21’s Business Development Manager, spent her vacation traveling in a different desert -Israel. After 12 hours on a plane she arrived at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel-Aviv and told her travel mates, “I left the Sonoran only to end up in the Negev!”

We all know Nicole McClain has gained some notoriety from her Nexus 21 TV lift “rides.” Heather, hoping to gain her own Nexus 21 blog celebrity status, rode a camel while in Israel.

Jeff assured Nicole that her lift ride would be completely safe. Heather, on the other hand, did not receive the same reassurance. Seconds before climbing onto a camel with huge teeth, the camel owner told her, “Do not pet the camel. He is not your friend. He does not like you.” Heather rode the camel safely for an hour with only one mishap — the camel behind her was trying to eat her Camelback backpack (a form of retaliation on his part to defend the camel name and kingdom). In the end, Heather learned that camels, like the Nexus 21 TV Lift Systems, also have incredible lifting capacity and they too are safe. The moral of the story? Sometimes you have to travel to the Middle East to "out do" a co-worker’s infamous lift riding!
