Seen those too. Not sure I'd want to use one, assuming I could rock climb at all, given my age and size (Tickle me, the Pillsbury Doughboy!)

As an aside, read recently of a school in China where the primary school aged kids literally have to rock climb to/fro school EVERY DAY! And this ain't not small hill and has a shear face!!!! No steps or ladders. (Why not just board them at the school? Duh!)

And then there's a village further south, I believe, that uses the cliff side as a cemetery. They suspend the coffins or place them on ledges or outcrops of trees growing on the cliff side to fight off grave robbers.

Then there's the case of ..... 🤔

They have different models I think up to 3, legit humans, not sure, the brand is "tentsile" but I believe there are now others. I have been very curious about them, seems like a fun/terrifying way to tease a hungry bear

Google "tentsile stingray" it's a 3 person tent that hangs in 3 trees, not sure how practical it is, but I have always been curious

Well, I suppose if you're in the right area with 3 trees of appropriate strength standing the right distance apart from eachother..... I have enough trouble finding TWO at the right distance with little enough brush beneath for a regular hammock :p

That was my thought, which is why I was curious if any one had used one, they seem like a cool idea, not necessarily practical
