While book shelves and cabinets are made of wood out in nature some people try to hang things off trees using nails, screws or hooks. This might not seem like a big deal but those can actually hurt or injure the tree.
The folks at Cinch to Hang have another idea for using the trees for some storage. This system wraps around any tree less than four feet in diameter and cinches down tight, while a plastic hook allows for hanging of backpacks, wet clothes or just about any other gear you want off the ground.

Camping is typically done in the woods (albeit many kids probably do “camp” in the backyard), but now a German adventure mountain is offering campers the chance to actually spend the night hanging off the tree tops! Waldseilgarten in Pfronten, Bavaria hosts adventure nights out during the summer months, where guests can sleep in a portaledge that hangs off a cliff or from a tree. The hanging tent system si the same that is used by rock climbers on multiple day climbs and features a fabric-covered platform supported by a metal frame and is suspended from a secured single point. Guests can only ascend or descend with rope assistance, so planning ahead for nature’s call should be considered.
