Base Camp


This tent was made by Red Sky Shelters in Barnardsville, NC. (http://redskyshelters.com/) It is supported in the middle by a 21 foot Tulip Poplar trunk. A good friend, Drew Hudson, came up in June to spend his vacation contributing to the project. His first task completed was debarking the poplar with an antique draw knife. The following day four friends helped in raising and staking out the tent. A few days later Drew and I built a small deck out of pallets and scrap plywood with a cinder block foundation; producing a level platform - you can set and orange down and it won't roll off!
