How this innovative 3-in-1 tent system makes outdoor camping as comfy as being indoors

There has been a great deal of interest in enjoying the wide outdoors once again, especially now that some modern conveniences are already available. Solar-powered portable batteries and small appliances give access to gadgets, cold drinks, and even a hair dryer while off the grid. That said, you will still have to wrestle with the elements, which can be unpredictable, not to mention bugs and rocks that make sleeping under the stars feel less romantic than it sounds. Fortunately, you don’t have to sacrifice your comfort or your sanity to be able to proudly say you’ve experienced outdoor camping, especially with this 3-in-1 outdoor tent that makes you feel at home even if you’re far from home.

Truth be told, having access to electricity is secondary compared to having proper and comfortable shelter when camping outdoors. Common tents simply provide the basics of putting a flimsy roof over our heads, while campers are too much of an investment for just the occasional outdoor adventure. It almost seems as if having a comfortable indoor-like experience outdoors is just a dream, but that dream is finally coming true with the Space Acacia, a modern camping system that delivers a spacious weatherproof tent, a comfortable and durable air floor, and a temperature adjusting canopy to keep the rain and cold away, all in a single, portable package.

Expedition Grade Inflatable Air Floor – The heavy-duty 4-ply air floor is designed to handle the toughest conditions, including rocks and rugged terrains.

Maximum capacity of over 4000 lbs.

Built for the Wind – Level 8 wind resistance, PU2000 water protection and CPAI-84 compliant fire protection.

The Acacia tent is chock-full of innovative features, each one contributing to the comfort and safety of its occupants. The unconventional hexagonal shape not only provides more space but better stability as well, able to withstand level 8 winds, while its Oxford 300D material will keep you protected from downpours of up to 2,000mm. Best of all, setting up the tent only takes around 20 minutes thanks to an ingenious pop, push, and pull mechanism. And when the adventure is all done, the Space Acacia folds up and easily fits into pickups, SUVs, and even mid-sized vans.

The patented air ventilation structure enables speedy airflow so you can feel the summer breeze. The canopy helps maintain a 10℉ warmer temperature than the outside when in its close-on position.

The tent’s Air Floor is a true wonder, redefining comfort in outdoor camping. The carpeted and inflatable floor is made up of a heavy-duty 4-ply construction that’s similar to those used in expedition-grade inflatable kayaks. With PU2000 waterproof coating and a maximum capacity of 4,000lbs, the Air Floor not only stays clean and dry, it can even handle the kids who might have just had too much sugar before bedtime. As a bonus, the Air Floor also lets the Acacia float on water, making it perfect for fishing as well.

Beyond Land – With its inflatable air floor, the Space Acacia can effortlessly float on water.

Last but definitely not least, the Acacia’s large canopy protects you and your family or friends from even the harshest of unexpected weather changes. It provides SPF50+ protection when the sun is blazing but keeps the heat inside when it’s freezing outside. When draped and closed around the tent, it can keep the temperature inside 10℉ warmer than the outside, making the Space Acacia ideal for use no matter the season or time of year. With 12 fun color options to choose from and two size models that can accommodate as many as three or six persons, the Space Acacia revolutionizes the outdoor camping experience by providing not only convenience but also the same comfort and safety that you enjoy indoors.

This picturesque cantilevered lakefront home is inspired by the Minecraft game

Located just outside of Redmond, Washington with a view of the Ames Lake, is the Treehouse Camp Residence, a picturesque home nestled on a site that once held a Boy Scout Camp from the 1950s through the 1990s. The stunning residence is home to a family with two young children. It is tucked away within the forest but is yet pretty close to the water’s edge.

Designer: Stephenson Design Collective

The home occupies almost 3900 square meters and was designed by Stephenson Design Collective. The lakeside locale is considered a protected area, and hence the architect took special care to ensure that the home and its construction gently interacted with the natural surroundings, without immensely disturbing them or causing them any harm. The architect had to be extremely sensitive while designing and constructing the home, which they were successful at, resulting in the creation of a beautiful glass, concrete, and wood home that pays tribute to the surrounding Pacific Northwest forests, as well as the Danish heritage of the owner of the home.

The homeowner is the CCO of the video game Minecraft, and hence Stephenson Design Collective quite interestingly drew inspiration from the game’s usage of blocks while designing the home. The entire Treehouse Camp Residence is made up of stacked blocks. The ground floor features a board-formed concrete exterior that merges with the surrounding forest and includes public spaces such as the kitchen, office, and guest room. The upper floor has been beautifully clad in charred shou sugi ban siding. The upper story gracefully extends and cantilevers past the ground floor, to provide additional space to accommodate three bedrooms, a family room, and laundry which are connected via a suspended bridge. The home also houses a basement, with a glass-walled wine cellar, media room, and home gym.

On the ground floor, the open living room, kitchen, and dining room subtly open out to the outdoors, creating a serene indoor-outdoor connection, and functioning as an excellent space for entertaining or enjoying meals alfresco. This experience is made even more interesting, with the 16-foot cantilevered upper floor which provides protection. Massive sliding doors provide stunning and unobstructed views of the surrounding lake and trees, creating a picture-perfect backdrop!

Taking your Tesla camping? This outdoor tent was designed to integrate right into your EV’s boot

Meet Tentsla – it’s more than just a pun, it’s a tent that fits in your Tesla’s boot, and opens up into a full-fledged tent that can be used alongside the Tesla’s Camp Mode. Designed to turn your EV into the ultimate camping experience, the Tentsla comes with all the bells and whistles, including a multi-use weather-resistant canopy, mosquito netting, and a pump to help you set up your Tentsla in minutes. Once you’re ready to make your way home, the Tentsla folds right up into a bundle small enough to fit in your EV’s frunk or boot, keeping you ever-ready for any impromptu tailgating session!

The Tentsla comes with a design that’s tailor-made to fit right around the Model Y’s rear (although the Tentsla team is expanding the design to fit other popular vehicles too). Pop open the rear hood and the Tentsla assembles around it, integrating the car’s interiors with the tent to create a spacious environment that benefits wonderfully from the Model Y’s Camp Mode. Setting up the Tentsla is a pretty easy ordeal, given that it comes with a pump that helps you inflate the tent’s structure in mere minutes. Once inflated, it velcro-straps to the lining of your car’s rear, creating a perfect air-tight seal that prevents rain from getting in, and cool air within the tent from leaking out.

Easy Installation – Quick and easy 5-minute setup with their pump.

Tesla Compatibility – Expertly designed and tested, their tent is molded to the newly released ‘CAMP MODE’ in a Tesla. A Triple layered trunk connection helps maintain circulation, retaining air flow and temperature.

The Tentsla benefits directly from the Model Y’s newly unveiled Camp Mode. Designed so you could effectively camp in your car, the Camp Mode keeps air circulating so that the interiors don’t get stuffy, while also letting you access the infotainment system and the USB ports for charging your gadgets. Introduce the Tentsla to the mix and you’ve now got yourself a spacious tent big enough for 4 people to comfortably live in, while the Camp Mode keeps the insides of the tent cool and breezy.

Once set up, the Tentsla boasts of a multi-canopy design that lets you block out the sun from pretty much any angle to keep your tent cool during the day. The canopies also let you mount soft solar panels on them to charge a power station, while the front and side walls of the tent come with mosquito linings that keep the critters out. The tent’s body comes made from 210D Oxford, a lightweight, flexible, yet strong nylon fabric, with an inner silver coating that helps retain heat in the cooler months. The floor, on the other hand, uses 410D anti-slip fabric, and the entire Tentsla is designed to withstand up to 6000mm of water pressure, keeping the tent’s interiors waterproof even in inclement weather.

The Tentsla was founded by a team of four EV nerds, Environmentalists, and Enthusiastic Outdoor Campers. When Tesla announced the Camp Mode for the Model Y, it seemed only natural to build an outdoor tent that utilized this feature, giving you the best of both worlds. Although designed for the Model Y, the Tentsla team is expanding their connector designs to work with the Model X and other SUVs as well as smaller cars like the Honda Civic Hatchback. The Tentsla comes as a $599 kit which also includes a manual pump, two Tentsla tees, a pair of Tentsla work gloves, and a keychain for super early bird backers.

Amazing Inflatable Tents!

Campers know that to find the right tent it’s gotta be sturdy, reliable, lightweight, highly durable, thoughtfully shaped for strength and should feel just right. Well, look no further because here are not 1… not 2… but 3! They’re based on a specific molecular structure called “diamond grid’ made of air beams built with a resistant double-layer construction and extra airtight thermoplastic urethane bladder that keeps air inside for a long time. Introducing, The Cave, The Wedge and Mavericks. My fave: the Cave! Check em’ out!

The latest design, Mavericks, is designed for extreme conditions and expeditions. The special geodesic structure has been developed to withstand high wind speeds up to 180 km/h, and is pre-assembled so it can easily be set up by an individual.

All tents come with a multi-chamber safety system that enables users to inflate the entire air frame in just one single step. Once blown up, the air frame can be divided into separate sections to ensure stability in the event that a part becomes damaged.
