Awesome suspended camping tents : theCHIVE

: Tension force helps keep this tent suspended well above the floor, ensuring you stay away from all of the nuisances on the ground floor. The tent is simple to assemble and is constructed with fire retardant, UV and water resistant polyester fabric to help keep you safe from natural elements. Not bad, science. You win this time.

I worked for outward bound for several years in my twenties out in Montana, Texas, & Minnesota, this tent is a dumb idea. It looks cool, but it really isn’t.

A good idea? Nothing like being a human pinata for a pack of bears at junior bears bar mitzvah.

Now if only you could link them creating the ultimate suspended fort over a large area of forest…… ahhhh dreams.

On a windy night? And hopefully there are trees big enough and spaced right. I’d rather have my normal tent…

What are the trees for? Did you even look at the pictures whole lot of trees in the artic! It is self suspending using tensile strength and a single post contact point with the ground…

The only reason to use one of those is if you were in a marshy area, otherwise it seems like a pita. Suspended tents should be reserved for climbing big walls.
