    Tree Tent, yes very cool….but not for $50,000. Camping should not cost more than some people make in a year

    O.K. Please allow me to re phrase my comment.The two tents I liked are not available.One is discontinued and the other is a bad link.Just my luck?Well, these are the two tents they have featured at the top of this page,So I should be forgiven for jumping to the assumption that this site is for curiosity only.
