That sounds like a hoot.

That looks like a sweet set up. Swamp camping?

Says the man with the timber wolf. Sure wish i had that toy ..erm...tool today. Likewise, I expect it will see some good use over the years.

Yep. Damn hard pill to swallow. Took me a few years to wash it down. Decided on the tree boat with mosquito netting.

Well I pulled the trigger. My hope is that one of my friends will get one or I will need another one. I don't think the wifey will be into it but the kids surely will. I have a large ponderosa picked out to set up first night.

I agree. The big platform seems to win the contest for coolest and most comfy. Although the portability looks a little awkward to set up by yourself.

Thanks for that post Sean. I think I am going to pass on the idea, though it sounds like a good one. I will sleep on terra firma for the time being.

That would add new meaning to sleeping on the job.

make it five feet then. If you go any lower you stand the chance of getting the bottom of the ledge eaten by a goat and falling onto a porcupine.

True. We are never very far down the trail with the little one being only 3 last summer. She can only go about a mile and a half so we pick and choose the places. I'm sure you are right and we will take the tent when we venture farther.

I have a nice 4 season's Marmot brand tent and plenty of sleeping pads to go around. We use it, but for the last two years have been doing a bit more short backpacking trips and taking the square rain fly and sleeping with it up and folded halfway out of the way to see the stars and breath...

Tell you the truth Burnham, I have never bad luck with the bugs. I think a few different reasons. Early and late season camping and camping in the highest mountains in Idaho. We are usually at a high mountain lake. It's damn cold at night as I'm sure you well know. There may be bugs in the...

I was thinking of getting one or maybe two for camping. Currently I use the minimalist approach to camping with just a square rain fly, sleeping on the ground. Kids and wife are into it. Just poking around the net to see the tree boats and porta ledges and they seem awfully expensive. Anyone...
