Any chance of getting the pics a bit bigger I can't really make it out, perhaps putting them in the gallery at www.bushcraftliving.com/gallery (http://www.bushcraftliving.com/gallery) Looks really clever from what I can see.

Hey that looks well cool. And was it stable? I always tend to make my bed on the ground and end up having to fight with the creepie crawlies in the night trying to invaid my space! How long did it take you to get it all set up?

I ran out of spars and didnt have one across the top as i should have done so to make it stable i sent a line from the top of eather side to the tree and i was suprised how stable it was.

It worked out well as the line also acted as storage space to hang stuff from,

It took about 45mins to put up
