It's an enclosed hammock he is selling for over 1K..yipes.
There would be no chance of finding anyplace to set that thing up in any of the woods around where I live.
It simply requires too much open space, which is typically not available in the woods.
I like the comments on YouTube. Impractical, heavy, unrealistic. Sounds like here.
nice comparsion Ken.
It fits more into a tiny house category, and is reasonably priced for that, although there are more practical options for not much more money.
Aside from the other issues, it's worth noting that this tent will also cause damage to the trees they hang them from unless they're putting a pad on the tree to protect its trunk from the grosgrain straps. Kind of like the issues that slacklining creates.
this is pretty funny to me.
I do like the concept, but like some have mentioned it's to heavy, exspensive and probably would cause damage to the tress with those big straps.
I just posted this to see what kind of a rise I could get out of people, you have to admit if this was scaled down for backpacking with lighter weights, less aggresive straps, and a decent price point, a lot of us would be all over this, cool concept though.
The first thing that came to mind for me was, someones going to hang themselves on those straps on a late night pee break. LOL

ha ha, I kinda like them. Would be fun to pitch one high up, and then climb up to enter it using a rope ladder. They are probably wildly impractical for most situations, but the video made me smile.
The only problem is, you could just do the same thing using using a cliff tent, but this would probably cause near to no damage to the trees if you pitched carefully from multiple trees. That makes me want to buy a cliff tent :D. Does anyone know the lightest one available?
