Deluxe model comes with three oak tree seeds you can plant at the right angle. Wait 20 years and go set up your tent.
Ha ha! Thanks Percy. That's very funny! Great sense of humour you have there.
You don’t want to plant oak. Maple is a much more solid tree.
Thats funny😂.
Dem, lol
😂😂😂😂
I'm waiting to see three people get in there.
I CANNOT wait to purchase one! Thank you for saving me from carrying another blow-up mattress into the wild! 😊😊
When u though 2 convenient trees for a hammock was hard to find.
-The Stingray: “hold my beer”
The next version, is the octopus.
Great demonstration.. Especially of the inside and how one lays and gets comfortable. Could have skipped the inside though, most people buy hammocks just to carry and set up in the woods.
Ha ha! We love sarcasm, great stuff. This video is called "Set up" so people can learn how to set up the Stingray. If you want to see people IN the Stingray, just watch one of the 9,261 videos that come up under the search "Tentsile Stingray." We will review the need to show in the inside and get back to you, Mr /Mrs Cattle. Thank you! :)
love to see people getting in and love to see the fold up back into the bags they came in.
Set up a campfire under the tent to keep warm
Very good.
lol lol lol..
Just buy the tentsile indoor propane tent heater.
😂😂
Yeah when someone stupid like doesnt think at ALL
Very good information love the entire process of THE STINGRAY
WOOOOW THIS IS THE FIRST TIME FOR ME TO SEE SUCH A GREAT TENT...UNTIL NOW I DID NOT SEE ANY ONE USING IT IN THE BUSH CRAFT.....
This has some nice features. One point sort of glossed over however is having a way to secure the fly down once you're inside.
I had to check twice that this was published in November and not the beginning of April.
Great idea! Kids would love it , not for everyone but if you were play camping out of a vehicle or not carrying it to far why not. Good luck
Thanks Dan :). Definitely! But we also have lighter models for the hiking, backpacking explorer type. The 2 person Flite and the 1 person UNA.
Good luck finding trees at just the right angle
It's honestly not too tricky and you don't have to be a whizz at angles to figure it out. Just 3 trees in a triangle. Loads of people use them every year and haven't had any trouble with them.
Trees must all be within 90 degrees of each other. Like a spiders web external frame ( within which they make the spiral).
not as much problem as you think unless in a desert, ha ha ha Matt K.
Wooooooooooow
In my area it’s easier to find 3 trees than level ground I’m sold haha
The scenery is beautiful. 👍👍❤️
Wow this is so cool, gotta have this for my next hiking video!
that is very cool!
Nice, the three point tentsile webbing reminds me a little bit on a kind of trampoline project I have seen in an old cooling tower.
Cool we'd like to see it 😊
Never shows him inside the tent, we don't even get a demonstration as to if it holds up.
It's a good point. We will try and jump inside the tent at the end of demo vids in future.

We need proof that u could reproduce the planet in this thing, put up a demonstration
Simon WoodburyForget you don’t need to make a knot. If you watch the video properly you can see you’re just going through the loop that’s already provided. The ratchet tightening does the rest.
@@TentsileLtd Ya... nice promo video. Who packed up those three trucker tie-downs up those mountains? Not those two young women, I can bet.
Very nice! I want it!
i love it!! wish to have one soon!!!!!
don't worry about it, just buy it.
got an original mk1 stingray still going strong & just the best times guaranteed 😎😎😎😎
Three giant trees spaced apart just right ?
It looks like a piñata for a big bear to play and eat the filling 😂
This is brilliant idea and excellent product design 👍
Very nice.
I’ll bet this sleeps sweet. I have enough trouble finding trees close enough for a hammock though.
Very nice idea!! Actually i was a long time looking for something like that, because to me safety always comes first, i don't feel safety sleeping on the ground, even into a tent... my idea is how much away from the ground how much i will b safe... Congratulations! Good job!
We recommend 1 - 1.2m
Bagaimana cara saya memesanya?
Nice video
How do you set it up if it's raining? It seems that the rain cover will always be the last thing to set up
Good luck with putting that up
I like the other models y'all sale . With a tent on top and the spaces to hang out below it but still protected from some elements
Thanks! We like to think there's a Tentsile for everyone.
Perfect
I can feel the excitement of buying it and using it already
incomplete..you should go inside that hammock tent to test it
We've got plenty of videos with people in our Tree Tents: th-cam.com/video/hLWwzwbuKno/w-d-xo.html but for the purpose of a quick set up guide we've tried to keep it to need to know :)
I have to work on challenges to support your suggestions
Rent out the ground beneath to unfortunates.
they make an underneath gear layer
The ground dwellers lol
GRAN PRODOTTO👍💪
It’s pretty cool
Thanks!
In the time it takes to set this up I've already opened my roof top tent and cracked a couple beers
Could always bring a friend along for set up and sit back with those beers and watch :).
On the other hand, it also takes a lot of time to find a suitably flat and level area for a ground-tent.
So when I gotta take a piss in the middle of the night do you took to the door and jump into shear darkness ,or do you buy the deck and stair pal , complete with porch flood lamp ?
Interesting concept/ finding 3 trees with open space between them would be difficult in a dense forest. Setup is fine if you are an engineer? Thanks for the video, would have enjoyed seeing people and sleep gear inside the tent.
thanks for the video....this is exactly what i dont need...
can i use the "tie knot" as u showed with the smaller tent.. with the big one as well? or do u recommend to use all three ratchets on the stingray??
You will be able to drop a ratchet as you get more adept at setting up.
You need 3 drunk people passing by for a good joke...(and someone sober enough for a proper countdown).
good luck with that setup ...... may only take 5 hours to get it level to than find out that one en still lowers more then the others as it stretches more due to a longer strap ... I am trying to get my brother in law to buy one as he believes the concept might work. I will bring him a lot of coffee the next morning as he´ll definitely need it after a horrible nights sleep. Hammocks are for one person. It´s not insulated against the cold air from under either.
We're sorry to hear you had a bit of trouble setting up. The straps are all adjustable so you'll be able to make them all the sam length. There is an underfloor strap so that the tent can be separate into different sleeping berth so it's comfy for more than one person. If you're camping in colder weather you can use a good down sleeping bag, or a SkyPad Camping Mat for extra insulation. It's also possible to put a Trillium hammock underneath the tent to create an extra layer of insulation at night and an extra hang out spot in the day :D.
in the same way you winter hammock, you would do here. It's not that difficult to setup or take down...
Mines kept touching the ground for some reason. I had my pack in the tent. I'm 5'10 380 lbs
Ratchet tighter
@@TentsileLtd lol...
The best tent iv'e ever seen
cool concept but for the extra weight to carry is it really worth it
와 너무갖고싶은 텐트다 ㅠㅠ
Good luck when you go to the campground and Take up six plots for the stingray,I could have built a log cabin quicker.
Yep and then in the middle of the night the chav family next door come and Nick your straps lol
Hope if I ever buy it, that it comes with a small map to show me the 3 landscapes in existence that have trees with that perfect angle
Oml, guess I'm not the only one that feels this way. Comment section is havin a great laugh aswell it seems
@@tokingwithspirits9215 Yes, I lot of very clever people.
Nice
There is no guide on how to get everything back into the bag
HELLO
Thank you! :)
Does it come with a step ladder for the elderly?
I have a question ...can you put the ladder on the first entry hole?
Yes, you can and in the middle. Lots of choices!
Arrive at morning and your tent ready at evening
20 mins, max
Can you mount it between trees that are not equally aligned?
We’re did you get that jacket?
Yes, you can. As long as the angle between trees is less than 90 degrees, the length of the strap can be adjusted so that the tent finds equilibrium between them ( like a Spider's web - always between three point, finds space to make a spiral)
Interesting. Is the floor insulated or I still need some insulation? (mattress or something like that)
I am a hammock user and I always need an underquilt.
Thanks
Of course, it depends how cold it is, but yes, an air mattress is a good idea. We have special ones that fix in, but all makes will work.
This looks sweet and I would sleep in it....except I have douche friends that I'm sure would wake me up be either kicking me from underneath, or undoing the ratchet straps.
How well do the ratchets hold up in rain? Any rusting?
Fine. Fully galvanised. Salt water will have an effect after many, many months. Rain water - years.
When you know the rain is coming nearly,and you have to fit that tent,you'll get a fever or fever will get you.
Is there a model without bright colored straps?
Considering the footprint an the carrying volume and weight, what is the benefit over a tent?
multi level camp, away from mud, better rain run off, no level ground needed, no bugs, softer beds, fewer poles and more fun. What have the romans ever done for us?
قسم بلله انه اجمل خيمه
Since the floor is not solid, 2 or 3 people will just roll towards each other when they're inside.....right? I think individual tents would be better.
won't water seep in back into the floor of the tent along the straps?
Smart cookie! Can happen after 2 days of non-stop rain... so we invented WaterGates...tentsile.co.uk/collections/stingray-accessories/products/watergates
Super super
the only concern I have is condensation with the rain fly on. I've used tents that I may as well left the rain fly off because we got almost as wet with condensation.
Hi Paul, It's possible to peg out the wings of the rain fly to the ground to avoid condensation and maximise water run off :).
Would love to sleep in this tent during a thunderstorm.
Yes! You're right. You never getting flooded, Tree Tents literally keep you high and dry.
What about lightning thunder storms?
I agree with you on that one, Lightning can be pretty severe.
This looks like you need 3 perfectly placed trees in order to set up. Doesn't seem very practical.
Hi Robert, Thanks for your comment. It's not actually as difficult as it sounds, as the trees don't have to be perfectly placed. As long as the three points are all less than 90° from each other, you will be able to find an equilibrium point with your tent. Check out this video for more info :) th-cam.com/video/riy_1015TOo/w-d-xo.html
I'm fabricating an attachment for the roof of my Highlander to mount this and my hammocks to, as I live in the desert and it would suck to use cacti...
Hi Paul, Yeah Cacti might be a bit difficult. Our tents can also be pitched on the ground if needs be but setting it up on your Highlander sounds cool let us know how you get on!
Paul Curtis yes, I’d like to see that too, as I’m thinking about doing something similar..
There are hundreds of trees in some woods. Idk how this would be hard
How did you shoot it? Using a potato?
I like the idea, but I don't understand how more than one people should sleep comfortably in there when the weight will be in the middle? Problem two it's the time to find 3 trees who are perfect in shape and distans for this and 4th the time to mount it.
Structurally designed with anti-roll mechanism, 3 tree angles do not have to be perfect and straps are 19' so can fly out as far as you need. 10 mins set up
I want one, what's the reasonable weight limit? All in my fam is about 300 kilo
Yes, up to 440kg, is ok! :)
Didn't show the trailer you need to carry it,my hammock goes in side pocket of bergan,but if staying for more than 1 day looks good.
How do you put these things up high above ground? The rattles does not have enough to go around a tree... So you always end op with the rattle at the tent side!?
Plz explain
There are the ratchets that are on small straps with loops that you put through all the D-rings at each corner of the tent. Then 3 tree straps that are 6m in length so can definitely fit around an average sized tree. Recommended set up height is 4ft off the ground so you can easily hop in and out. Hope this answers your questions!
Tentsile Ltd not really, how do you put that 20ft up in the air?
Set ups that higher than the recommended 4ft have been created by people with climbing experience and equipment. Not one to try at home unless you're an expert. Our Tree Tents are pretty amazing but they don't give you the ability to climb 20ft up a tree without previous experience and knowledge. ;)
What's the band and song used in the intro? Very nice.
Shouldn't it be higher from the ground level if you want to avoid being attacked by animals ?
Depends how big are the animals.
What is the difference between the model Stingray 3 person and the Safari 3 person?
UV protection, weight and durability. Safari is meant for longer set ups and rentals.
hammock
Edit:
Pretty cool tent
Anyone know the song
And under the big rainning ?
Very good performance!
What if somebody decides to cut your lines in the middle of the night?
This would be great in snake country👍🏻👍🏻
Probably freeze to death with all the cold air under your back, I've tried sleeping in a hammock and you need some insulation on the outside so you don't lose body heat.
Can be, in cold weather. That's why we can solution for this.
Looks cool but would one not b a BBQ for grizzlies. How about setting it way much higher than that height?
cimachhwas here at2016.12.01. in Garstedt.
And in winter?
Yes, and in Winter!
lot of work. I will stick with my two tree hammock....
You guys could probably print "tail" on the end so you know the sides immediately.
It does have the logo on the front - which is almost the same thing, but backwards...
@@TentsileLtd You would have to admit, extra help is nice
Always. In everything
just got mine.. i m really curious how it feels to sleep in there.. ;)
Enjoy!
so wheres the review?
Will he reply 10 months later?
I don't get it. I'd have my tent up before you even had the straps 'round the trees. Am I missing something? What's the point of this?
A nice little Lazer level would help you....
Or a smart phone which also has a built-in Level. iPhones have this, for example, next to compass.
It must be like sleeping on a trampoline while your two tent mates are bouncing around.
As long as it's tensioned properly that shouldn't be a problem. The length of straps and ratchets mean that it's very sturdy.
Raccoon bite you in the ass!
I want to make this one
That is absolutely awesome...... I can't wait to get me one of these so I can shit on all on my friends
How perfectly aligned do the trees need to be
You get about 7 degrees margin of tolerance, but the tree can be further away if the nearest tree doesn't have a good angle. Also, with spare ratchet, you can using this to make a floating anchor point and pull a strap into the correct angle by using a side tree. It is a nice and simple ( and fun ) solution!
you should make a cold temp solution with extensions on the outer "tent" so it makes a closed air pocket underneath when attached together. Or perhaps you already have a solution for that?... ofcourse the condensation had to come out somewhere... why not near the three anchor points..
is there a way i can get this tent a bit cheaper ? :D seems so nice
Nawas there’s one for 90 bucks
What if it falls
We recommend a height of set up. This is more to do with user error, as our tents do not break. Never have done. 55,000 sold to date.
