It can also be\u00a0set up on the ground like a standard tent.<\/p>\n<p>The beauty of this tent is that it doesn&#8217;t matter what the ground conditions are under the tent. \u00a0Given trees from which to hang it, the tent can go over rocks, a creek, a steep slope or just your equipment. \u00a0It is also possible to hang up to three hammocks under the tent. \u00a0With the rainfly in position, all three hammocks can be under cover.<\/p>\n<p>With the tent itself, heavy duty floor material, straps and ratchets, \u00a0this is clearly not a backpacking tent,\u00a0but it looks like a fun option for\u00a0car camping.<\/p>\n<p>Photo: Courtesy of Tentsile.<\/p>\n<h2>Please Share<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I came across the Tentsile Tree Tent\u00a0and thought\u00a0it\u00a0looked pretty interesting. \u00a0This two-person tent is essentially a suspended hammock with an integrated tent. \u00a0It&#8217;s not exactly a hammock because the floor of the tent is attached to three trees. \u00a0The straps that attach to the trees are tensioned with ratchets, just like a slackline. \u00a0This creates [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":512,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,2,19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-469","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-equipment","category-featured","category-products"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/explore.globalcreations.com\/theblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/469","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/explore.globalcreations.com\/theblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/explore.globalcreations.com\/theblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/explore.globalcreations.com\/theblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/explore.globalcreations.com\/theblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=469"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/explore.globalcreations.com\/theblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/469\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":475,"href":"https:\/\/explore.globalcreations.com\/theblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/469\/revisions\/475"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/explore.globalcreations.com\/theblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/512"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/explore.globalcreations.com\/theblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=469"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/explore.globalcreations.com\/theblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=469"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/explore.globalcreations.com\/theblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=469"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
