Mountain Hardware Stronghold Camping Tent

Filed under: Gadgets

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.

The Piilo Indoor Tent

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

Created by Markus Michalsky "for the interior as a private secret retreat," having this futuristic Piilo tent in your home will surely get some conversations started. It's intended to create "feelings of belonging and sensuality," but I'm not sure I'm getting those vibes. It's beautiful to look at, but I think crawling inside would bring more feelings of when I was a kid in a tent made of sheets, immediately followed by boredom and thoughts like now what?

But whether you love it or hate it you can't get one just yet. Do you think there's a market? I'm not holding my breath.

A Tent with Power Outlets to Keep Your Gadgets Going

Filed under: Gadgets

Die-hard campers will think this gadget is for sissies, but I think it's outrageously handy for the majority of "casual" camping types. Whether there are some creature comforts you just can't live without or you simply need some light for a card game on a rainy day, the Eureka N!ergy tent will take care of it with three 12 volt power outlets handy for plugging in everything from a fan to a reading light, or even a laptop computer. However you will need the Eureka E Power Pak (which is sold separately) to make it all work.

The Eureka N!ergy tent comes in three different sizes, the middle size (8 person/3 season) sells for $199.90.

The new luxury tent lodges at the Monate Lodge in South Africa have been deemed good enough for royalty. His Royal Highness Prince Albert, ruler of Monaco, recently spent a week at the Monate staying in the five-star Rushton tented lodge. The Hampton and the Rushton are two five-star lodges that each have a lounge and dining room with open access to a private sun deck and plunge pool. The bathrooms have roll-top baths that extend to an outdoor shower overlooking a waterhole. The canvas walls open out onto the scenic African bush land offering sunset views and the chance to see wildlife up close. The five-star lodges cost around $200 per person per night and include meals, high tea and game drives.
