    Hammock Castle



    Just set up an old tent we used to use when we Rendezvous (1780-1820 renactments). It's 12X14 with 5" side walls and 9' ridge. Not going to try to lay in the hammock, the 2x2 uprights don't look strong enough for me but do fine for the 25 lb grandson!

    You've taken the tarp tent to a whole new level.

    What's it weigh?

    An ultra light 80 lbs for the tent, but the floor comes in around 30 and the fly about 35. Just right for 2 day hike don't you think?

    Thanks headchange4u, what did I do wrong?

    That is stylish ...... now ... dig a moat and get a boat that will float and you will gloat as you eat and bloat on pit-cooked goat that you don't have to tote over the moat. Take note.
