Can I use my hiking poles to set up my Treeboat and Tent above the tree line?
The Treeboat requires two to four very strong anchor points that have a minimum of 3 feet clearance below. Nature provides these in abundance in trees, and sometimes in rock. If you are camping above the tree line, such anchor points will be scarce. The pull force on Treeboat’s lines can quickly climb to 1000 lbs, so your hiking poles will fail. Our Rainfly and Tent are designed to mount on the Treeboat after it is set up above the ground. The Tent cannot stand alone on the ground; the Rainfly might work alone with your hiking poles, but it would be awkward to set up and it has no floor.
