Tree tent

Back in April, we took a look at the French-designed Exod Home, an innovative inflatable hammock-tent for backcountry or frontcountry glamping. Exod is now chasing crowdfunding dollars in hopes of getting the Home, now called the Ark, to market.

Kammok thoroughly rethinks its Sunda tent/hammock into the new Sunda 2.0. The 2.0 brings a new integrated fly and external pole system that lets users scoop up the ground tent and strap it to a pair of trees in under a minute.

Continuously evolving its lineup of suspended tree tents, Tentsile adds a series of conversion kits for setting the tents up on the ground. Each model can now camp in the air or on the ground, better adjusting to the terrain and weather.

We've seen hammock stands before, but it's a different ballgame when the hammock is actually a large triangular tent for three people. Tentsile's new stand weighs nearly 100 lb and stretches out more than 15 feet to hold its tree tents above ground.

Inflation, tension and compression come together to create the new Exod Home, a tent unlike any other. The French-designed Home leaps up into the trees when you tire of the ground, adapting to the environment to shelter you in comfort.

The Kudhva retreat is located on 45 acres of a disused slate quarry on the north coast of Cornwall and is now home to several tiny cabins and tree tents, which overlook the natural British landscape of sea, slate, grasslands and forest.

Earlier this year, Tentsile introduced its smallest, lightest tree tent to date, the all-new UNA. We recently spent a night tree-camping in the UNA in the superlative California redwoods. We hung out and slept until the beating sun and rustling of neighboring campers woke us up – here's how it went.

​Suspended tents are one of the big trends to sweep through the camping scene lately. The Bivymok is a new two-part option for those fed up with ground-based sleeping, consisting of a single-pole tent and a tree-suspended hammock platform built to hold some seriously heavy loads.
