Mountain Hardware Stronghold Camping Tent
I recently endured about 48 hours in a rustic cabin in the mountain woods of central Idaho. I am not a big fan of camping and assumed a cabin would be more comfortable than a tent. That may be true for most tents, but this Mountain Hardware Stronghold Camping Tent isn't most tents. Besides looking really cool, this tent has plenty of ventilation for those muggy summer nights. With three zippered doors, a roof vent, and five perimeter vents, you are bound to get a nice cross-breeze going. If you are in to camping in the snow, this tent has you covered as well. A perimeter band around the floor of the tent allows you to create a water proof seating area on benches carved from the snow. It's doubled-walled and the dome shape minimizes wind load. At around $3,000, it is a bit pricier than my rustic cabin, but surely well worth it.

At $3K I think I'd be too afraid to stray far from camp. I'd be concerned that someone would take off with it while we're out hiking. :/

I can just see that over someones shoulder as they run through the woods.
They should make interconnecting "pods" via little tunnels for separate rooms. One for sleeping and one for relaxing after.... whatever you do when camping. But seriously, I really like this and I am most certainly NOT a camper. This MAY change my mind. I'll definitely think seriously about this one. Thanks Sandy. This sort of thing probably would never have been bought to my attention otherwise.

I've also encountered a couple "way too rustic" cabins. I used to tent quite a bit, then gave way to a pop-up, but that limits me on trail campering. This might just be the answer.
Many campers like to have a sign outside their site. I make hand-routed, hand painted cedar signs. To see a nice selection of my work, go to www.happybeaversigns.com
