Bender ish.

[crosslandkelly]

I've always wanted to try my hand at a bender, so the opportunity came weekend. I had trimmed back a willow in my garden last week and sorted out 15-16 nice straight rods about 7-8 feet long, so I brought them along with this project in mind. Wrapped in a DDxl, it looked a bit baggy but was surprisingly roomy and very stable. so I had two comfortable and dry nights.
Thanks for looking.

Kev for scale.

Very nice!
I have used a similar set up for a Sweat Lodge Sauna in the past
- but never slept in one...
Another thing to put on the "to do" list....
