    It's a hot tent for hammock camping, nothing exists like this until now to my knowledge. Hot tents are getting pretty popular, not for hiking as such...but definitely a place in the market for this if you hate tents.

    Note the cross-branch support for the “chimney-stove pipe”. A lot of parts to get it right.
    In order to see what few have seen, you must go where few have gone. And DO what few have done.

    As a car camper, I would have a hard time not opting for any number of cabin style tents where I could set up either an Tensa4 or a TATO stand inside and spend under $250. I am sure there are hot tent enthusiast who are weight conscious and this would appeal to them. I have no doubt about the quality, but it is not in my wheelhouse of usefulness.

    Best to you!

    Its expensive, but look at what a comparable canvas tent would cost. Other hot tents like Arctic Ovens or the Seek Outside tipi tents are over $1k as well. Winter camping can be expensive!

    It's true. Cooke Custom Sewing, Wintertrekker, etc. are expensive as well.

    Given that they have more square footage than some apartments in Manhattan, they're an absolute steal!

    I wondered whether someone might come along and invent something that could be usable for the tent cities that seem to be ubiquitous nowadays in the US.
