This is a very cool thread. Thanks to the OP for starting it. Some great pictures. I really like the big nets/hammock combo, treehouse thingy. There is definately a security appeal to sleeping in a tree, notwithstanding the obvious dangers.

i was going to say they are quite good at dropping big branches at the wrong time... i can see the benefit of being in a tree when there are wolves and stuff around but i dont think a rabbit attack is a good enough excuse

You haven't seen one of these then

I saw this site a while ago, which although mostly urban is on a similar track:

Update: just seen someone has beaten me to it....

Sorry folks but I fail to see the point unless solely as a novelty!

The only explanation I can think of for anyone wanting to sleep up a tree is that they've never been cold, wet and miserable.

Because it might be fun?

Rig a tarp up and a decent sleeping bag in the hammock and I'll be just the same comfort wise, as on the ground.

You can still cook and warm yourself by the fire at the base of the tree.

even this idea has no "practical" purpose, it does look like a good laugh and something I know I'll regret not trying *grabs hammock and heads off up to the woods*

Don't forget the pictures.
