Tree tent

A tree tent is a camping tent designed to be set above the ground, usually attached to or supported by the neighboring trees. Like a tent, it must be a complete enclosure that can house a camper and their gear while suspended off the ground. ^[1] Like tree houses, a tree tent may be accessed via a rope ladder^{[citation needed]} and provide a sheltered environment for recreation and various outdoor activities.^[2] The portable nature of this type of shelter provides for more versatile location choice than a conventional tree house or a camping tent.^[3]

First designed by Alex Shirley-Smith and Kirk Kirchev and introduced to the market in 2014 these tents have gained popularity in the following years, and have since evolved into various different configurations.^[5]
