you weren't paying attention, were you?

 

[rik_uk3]

I'd love to see the underquilt for that lol.

It looks like fun, but where the hang do you store your kit ?
Y'cannae really brew up in it or take your wet boots inside to dry off.
Those stretched lines would garrotte someone at night too.

Sorry don't mean to rain on the parade.

Looks very cool.

 

[redandshane]

No intention of buying one but I would really like to try one out for real on a week long camp
Wonder if they want someone to field test it-Contact me here lol

Interesting. They look very comfy to sleep in and you could use wool blankets or sheepskin rugs under you. If pitched high enough you could also use the space underneath as a shelter to store kit and cook. Condensation would be the big thing though as moisture would run down the walls onto the floor and right under where you would be lying.

 

[Toddy]

..........and drip off onto kit stored below too I think.

Thon ratchet thingie ? how much effort do you think it'd need to howk out a tree ?

I agree they look fun, but I think they have issues and I don't think they're near £800 of fun, iimmc.

I think finding the right size trees the right distance apart will be hard, the need for that much tension means you need big trees. but yes they look fun

 

[Dave]

It needs a small awning, or as soon as you opened it in the rain, you'd be sitting in a puddle.

 

[ozzy1977]

You can also get access to it from the hole in the floor

 

[Macaroon]

Would that be the plughole, then? I can't see £800 worth of fun there either, and I'd be a bit concerned about damage to trees by people pitching it without a real understanding of it - there's some strong forces at work there............atb mac

 

[HHazeldean]

Thats a very cool idea, and in reality if you're in a woodland it wouldn't be hard to find 3 trees the right size and distance. However I do agree that it is not a feasible idea and in no way is worth the £800 for it!

 

[HillBill]

In what possible way can they justify an £800 price tag? It doesnt even come with pegs
