::: Dino calculates how many tents she could make for $50,000 :::
All I can say is that a fool and their money are soon parted. :datz Besides, who needs a tent when there are perfectly good hammocks out there for use. :D Holy crap, who openend that can of worms? :eek:

I'd say it is a hammock, not a tent.

They don't say how much it weighs?

I guess if you can afford the $50,000 tent then you can afford the sherpa to haul it for you.
They don't say how much it weighs?People who can just go out and blow $50k on something they might use once either don't have enough sense to ask that question or have someone carry it and set it up for them, so they don't care. :D
Wait a minute, if there's a 9' dia. round object inside that contraption, how big is that freakin' tree???
OK. I checked out this designer/architect's website (http://www.drewapenaar.nl/). Check out the tent village. Hmmmm, perhaps we could have tent villages set up all along the AT to replace the current shelters. :-? :eek:

Thanks, Ewker, just trying to learn a little more for section hikes after the first of the year. Bottom line is that I'm trying not to go into next year's hiking "season" blind as I went last year. I'm learning a thing or two. :D

If someone can afford fifty grand for a tent maybe they would just pay us the money to hike the trail for 'em!

maybe we can hook up on some section hikes this yr. My 2 section hikes got cancelled due to surgery. I am so wanting to get out but it will be in Jan sometime...see you at SoRuck
BTW did you get with the NOC to see if any bunk spaces were left?

BTW did you get with the NOC to see if any bunk spaces were left?Cool, but fair warning, I make Slowhike look like a jackrabbit. We're looking at a couple sections this year to do, just trying to pick which ones. I haven't gotten hooked up with NOC yet, just waiting to find out for sure if DevilDoc (Doc) is going with me or not. I should know something in a couple days. I'm hoping they do have a couple bunks left, if not we'll just string up hammocks between bunks. :D
there was only one spot left a week ago..forget Doc...lol

I think for 50K that thing (looks like a cocoon) turns you into a giant beautiful butterfly, if you stay 2 weeks in it:-? :D
I'll bet that L. Ron Hubbard gives this thing is full endorsement.

I'll throw down the gauntlet once again: Show me a 'Mocker(hammocker)who spends the whole winter(in the appalachian mountains)in a hammock and I'll . . . I'll . . . send my Hilleberg back/:cool:
The whole winter. Every day.
And here my first thought was this new concept will at last silence the hammock crowd! WRONG! :D :pThe hammocking crowwd will never be silenced until all beings know the wonder of sleeping comfortably off the ground. We still have much work to do. :D All the Earth must have the glory of the hammock proclaimed to them. :banana

I'm just happy to see something that even hammockers can laugh at.
Hmmm :-? , I wonder if that tent attracts bees or wasps lookin' for their hive?

shimizu pyramid (http://www.whiteblaze.net/forum/shimizu pyramid) maybe this will work
I'd say it is a hammock, not a tent.
Well, yes. A hammock with a wooden floor
