Tentsile tree tent

[mountainm]

saw one not too recently in the UK at the Forestry show - was a very nice bit of kit - but i would very much doubt the ease of finding suitable trees on a family camp esque camping ...
but for a fixed base campsite -(backyard or your own woodlot) i would reckon that it would be awsome.

Yeah - a funky temporary treehouse - I don't think they're marketing themselves to backpackers so not sure why everyone seems to evaluate them through that lens.

i agree - i see them very much in the same vien as yurt camping

Don't you know? EVERYTHING is about weight...good grief keep up with the times! If it isn't made with Cuben, Amsteel or Titanium it isn't worthy!

Just kidding, kinda...

Fun trumps practical most days.

This is the two person model. And two will fit easily but you'll feel your tent mate toss in the night. Think triangular floor space trampoline

I'm wondering about the tension on the trees, seems like you really gotta wrench down on the ratchet strap to get it tight enough.(No, I'm not an environmentalist) Just don't want to tear 'em up.

I'd guess no more than two hundred pounds of inward pressure from the ratchets. I figure that if the tent floor can handle the pressure, so can the tree.

I've been wondering about that Tentsile tree tents. If it wasn't so expensive, I would consider buying one.
