It's one of my favorite gifts to give friends and family members who aren't preppers.

Oh the horror!

Spent 3 weeks, not simultaneously, in our wall tent elk hunting. Tents are pretty handy to have.

In the South West US I know of people who have set up tents indoors to avoid being bitten by cone nosed beetles, also known as Mexican Kissing Bugs or Assasin Bugs. They are a vector for Chagas Disease. The dang things only come out at night when their victim is sleeping, stealthily inserting their long blood sucking proboscis in the facial region of humans. Try as one may, finding where the dang things are hiding is almost next to impossible, thus the need for an indoor bug proof tent, until WMD’s can be used to eliminate the little $hits.

Are your kids looking for an adventure? Let them “camp” in the house. An indoor tent with a mattress pad (or sofa cushions) and sleeping bags can be a source of tremendous joy for kids.Are your kids looking for an adventure? Let them “camp” in the house.

my sons did this many times when they were younger... typically on Friday nights...

Indoor tent. Good idea.

Wish I’d thought of that back when I was a kid. From about ages 12-16 my room was so infested with earwigs that I couldn’t sleep there. Even now I sleep better in a hammock than on a mattress, partly because of medical issues but partly because bugs can’t hide in it.

(And if they try, I can chuck the whole thing in the washing machine!)
