For rustic travelers who can't decide if they'd rather sleep in a tent, a hammock or a treehouse, Tentsile has a product for you. Their portable and floating "tentsile" relieves campers of problems like sleeping on pebbles and wet ground or waking up to creepy crawlers squirming in their stuff. According to the website, you'll also be able to safely avoid flooding, earthquakes and sandstorms. Best of all, you get the unique experience of hanging from a tree like a spider monkey. Can you get any closer to nature than that?

To set it up, the tentsile should be attached to three trees. I'm not quite sure how you get it up there, but hopefully you've been practicing those spider monkey skills. Once it is successfully constructed you can expect a restful sleep. Because the tentsile uses tension forces and not poles, "the most comfortable and flexible range of accommodation can be achieved." Additionally, eco-travelers will love that the product leaves a minimal carbon footprint.
