The Treepee: it's a den; it's a tent; it's a whole load of stuff

One does wonder what unbalanced mind created the Treepee. At the same time I must admit that it does look like a lot of fun.

Hard to say precisely what it is: tent, den, trampoline or swing - and the manufacturers are making no definite statements other than that it can be any or all of the above. First, you pitch your tent. Then, you hoist it over a tree so that it hovers a couple of feet from the floor. Then, the trampoline base comes into its own, and you can either choose to bounce, 'surf', or simply sit and swing.

I suspect the core demographic for this product - kids - will not be so concerned with precisely what it is, but, rather, will be racing to try it out. And when we adults see that, perhaps we'll stop worrying, too.
