The ultimate tent?
http://www.neimanmarcus.com/store/sitelets/christmasbook/fantasy.jhtml?cid=OCBF8_NMO2792

"What exactly is going on in there? A totally new way to experience nature. A limited-edition dollop of sci-fi futurism. A 13-foot-tall cred-building choice that silences that, "We hate camping!" whining once and for all. Dutch sculptor and designer Dré Wapenaar has earned international fame for making the world's coolest architectural tents.

Nestled among the branches, up off the ground, there's a nine-foot-diameter hardwood floor and groovy round mattress inside. It sleeps two adults comfortably and also makes the world's coolest tree fort/spaceship (with adjustable planetary landing steps). Send the kids to granny's every once in a while and let the rising sun wake just the two of you.

We'll promise not to disturb you too early, if you promise to call 1.877.9NM.GIFT for more details.

Tough Decision

A nutsack tent OR a fully kitted out low mile "insert vehicle of choice" with a roof top tent.

Does it come with a ladder to attach in to a tree and a chainsaw to saw all the branches off one side?

Do people really buy things like that?

nutsack tent... that was funny.

Looks like a camper would be riding on a tether ball in high winds. Yeehaa!

You would have to be "nuts" to climb inside that thing. :shakin:

LOL, one of the funniest posts I've read....

honestly, if it was $49.99 at Target I'd buy it..........take it to work, hang it out the 22nd story of my office building, fill it with water and order a pizza....
when i saw guy walking up, I'd lead him 4 seconds and cut it loose...


then i'd wait for it it to dry, box it back up and take it back for a refund.

...and what leads these people to think someone will actually drop $50k on this?

I second that.....50 bucks at Target....maybe.

It doesn't make sense to me at any price, $50 or $50k
