    I am not a violent person,

    but should I come across one of these in the woods I would be so inclined to treat it as a pinata. (insert thwacking noises and Home Simpson-type screams here).

    $50K, you could plant a few forest for that amount of money!!!!!!!

    If anyone sees one of these when they stop their local Neiman Marcus please report back how comfortable it is and if there is any DIY potential........

    And let's talk about ease of use...these are awesome!

    You only have to find a trunk that's completely devoid of branches or rough spots that could tear the tent for about 20-30 feet up from the ground...then send the trained monkey that comes with your treetent (for $50k it BETTER come with a trained monkey!) up the tree to secure the top rope...nothing could be simpler!
