In fact, it sounded like it was copied one-to-one from some PR stuff.). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Setting up our Tentsile Tree Tent

A tree tent is a camping tent designed to be set above the ground, usually attached to or supported by the neighboring trees. Like a tent, it must be a complete enclosure that can house a camper and his or her gear while suspended off the ground. [1] Like tree houses, a tree tent may be accessed via a rope ladder[2] and provide a sheltered environment for recreation and various outdoor activities.[3] The portable nature of this type of shelter provides for more versatile location choice than a conventional tree house or a camping tent.[4]

Some tree tents have the capacity to house 6+ people. [5]
