    Only time you can pitch that tent is if you've got wood.

    Nell: i've spent nearly hurricane force storms in a shelter not unlike that (though, securely anchored both at top and bottom). It's not as bad as you might think.

    btw: how did i manage to miss that this thread was 3 years old?

    Nothing compared to those big wall guys, though now that I think about it a redundantly bolted anchor into solid granite is probably a heck of a lot more secure than some truck rope around a tree branch. In one storm I seriously worried about the whole tree going down, given that it was the last old-growth holding up the hill it was growing from.

    It is just Justin "hangin' up" old threads.

    You know, rock climbers have a special tent they take to camp on the wall.

    What in the world!How do you even sleep in that thing?Curl up in a ball?
    I like escalators, because an escalator can never break; it can only become stairs. You would never see an "escalator temporarily out of order" sign, just "Escalator temporarily stairs... sorry for the convenience. We apologize for the fact that you can still get up there."

    It's probably a bit bigger than it looks. if it's anything like a portaledge, it's got a flat, rigid framed platform inside, and maybe room to hang gear beneath that.

    I think it would make a good inclement weather tree stand if it could be had in cammie. How many times have you been "up a tree" when it started to rain and the wind started to blow? I guess it's a Louisiana thing.

    Anyway, it reminds me of a giant fig.

    I think I'll just invest in ammo. Roasted zombies are mighty tasty you know.
