Does the idea of camping among the insects, snakes and other potential predators really put you off the great outdoors? If so, Tentsile has got you covered, literally.
The company specialises in suspended tents, no more sleeping on the hard, rocky ground with one of these. Tentsiles function by being ratchet-strapped to 3 robust trees; the tension lines are totally tree-friendly but they can also be tied to other large objects that will hold the weight if you’re short of 3 leafy supports.
These portable treehouses are the ultimate grounded-habitation substitute for anyone from casual campers to intrepid explorers. Easy to pitch and suitable for even the harshest conditions – you’re immune to the risk of flooding after all – there is currently both a two and three person model available to purchase from Tentsile.com.
The 3-person model, the Stingray, will hold a maximum weight of 400kg, more than enough for 3 people and their gear. There is also the option of purchasing separate hammocks, which can be attached to the D-rings to create a multi-story, off-the-ground temporary abode.
So next time you’re intending on getting closer to nature by taking an expedition, whatever the clime, we highly recommend you consider Tentsile for your accommodation solution. Imagine being suspended as part of the canopy or getting creative, as others have, to make your Tentsile a vista point from which to view your surroundings.
With a true commitment and love of nature, the company’s motto is “If we’re all hanging out in trees, they can’t cut them down.” Also Tentsile, in partnership with WeForest, will, in true triangular fashion, plant 3 trees for every tent purchased. Save the environment, and potentially yourself, next time you’re heading out into the wild by swapping your standard tent for a Tentsile.
