Go Camping, Ewok Style

For many kids, a treehouse is a time honored tradition of growing up. Making rules as to who is allowed up in the tree perch is just one part of the fantasy land where they get to live… a land like the cartoons or movies, full of magical imaginations running wild. Even as adults, the idea of a peaceful getaway in the canopy of a lush forest is an appealing departure from the concrete that surrounds life in towns and cities. This unusual tent-like treehouse, looking a lot like something friendly Ewoks would have relaxed in during Return of the Jedi, is the perfect example of one of these magical, childlike places.

Tentsile has engineered a treehouse for adults that can be strung up easily in the enchanted forest of your choosing. A combination of tent and giant hammock, the three-sided Tentsile could bring those childhood dreams right back into your adult world. Amongst a long list of other cool possibilities, the Tentsile website recommends use of the tent at festivals. As the music gently floated by your relaxed frame, it seems safe to guess that your portable treehouse would be the envy of other festival goers wandering below. Can someone please remind me why I shouldn’t get one of these and say goodbye to the boring walls of my office for the summer?
