Tentsile Universe
An amphibious tent that can also be suspended from trees, Tentsile’s Universe isn’t an April Fool’s joke, it’s an actual floating tent. Assembled, it holds up to five people with plenty of sleeping space, storage areas, and the ability to modify ventilation. You can remove the roof for unobstructed views overhead. With over five feet of headspace and three porch areas, this roomy model is a perfect base camp, and it can be modified for on-water use by rolling back the vestibule doors and securing the rain fly to the poles in each corner. Then, it’s a stable SUP-style raft for on-water chilling. One other important thing to note: It’s a festival tent, not a backpacking tent—it weighs 100 lbs. [$1,999; tentsile.com]
