    Hang inside a tent?

    I vaguely remember this being talked about at some point, but not sure. My wife is on board with camping in hammocks. She isn't so excited about being in a bug tube. She wants room. We have a huge 20 foot 8-10 person tent for car camping. In theory, could I make two hole on each side in which to pass whoopies through?

    It seems to easy and I'm worried if I'm not over looking something. I would think I'd need to allow for some movement for when the hammock is loaded.

    What do you think?

    Thanks,
    Rick

    If it's big enough, why not make a Turtle Lady stand? Then you need no holes in the tent and no need to find trees spaced perfectly for both hammock + tent and the missus can sleep "indoor"

    Make a big teepee!
    You can hang 2 hammocks fairly easily inside. But it takes a really big teepee.

    Did it with a large tent with multiple entrances passed one side suspension through one entrance and zipped it up and another through the other entrance...worked very well!

    How about making(diy'ing) a tarp tent specifically for two hammock stands then? Using the stands as tent poles with the gigantic tarp over them.... Lots of privacy, clothing, cooking area etc.

    Stands inside a big tent is the only way to beat the bug net thing in the summer. I would try taking her in late fall/early spring when bugs aren't an issue.

    Although they are currently all sold out a Guide Gear 18'x18' TeePee would be an option.
