Tentsile took the world by storm when it unleashed it’s first suspended tent a few years ago, and now, after laying low for a bit, it’s back with a new model: the Tentsile Connect.

Functionally, Connect exactly the same as the original Stingray tent. It’s designed to be affixed to a set of sturdy trees and hang in midair, suspended above the forest floor and all the snakes, spiders, barracudas, and all the other nightmarish creatures your imagination can conjure. The only difference is that this tent can only accomodate two people.

But it’s also got a nifty trick that the original can’t do — Connect can link up to other Connect tents by way of a clever strap assembly, meaning that if you and your friends all have one, you can easily create crazy, suspended super camps of three (or more) tents.

It packs down to a 20 by 8 by 8-inch sack, which is small enough to toss in a backpack, but with all the straps and carabiners and everything else, each tent weighs about 15 pounds. That’s definitely a bit heavy for a long-haul backpacking trip, but the way we see it, hauling some extra weight is a small price to pay for the peace of mind that comes with knowing you’re sleeping well above bear-height!

The 11 best Clint Eastwood movies (acted in and directed), ranked

Here's a good place to start if you want see Eastwood's best of the best

Clint Eastwood in Heartbreak Ridge

If one were to mention the greats from classic Hollywood cinema (especially Western movies), Clint Eastwood’s name would be one of the first to come up. A highly successful actor, producer, and director, Eastwood has developed his own unique style of film that follows a narrative format with a monumental ending every time.
Before his illustrious cinema career, Eastwood worked as a lumberjack, a firefighter, a swimming instructor, and a bouncer to get by. Kicking off his film career in 1955 as a few unnamed extras, Clint has since spent the following over 65 years committing his life to the practice of film and acting. As a director, and unlike David Fincher and his meticulous directing, Eastwood has been known to get what he wants in one take without storyboarding, rehearsing, or changing the script at all. Considering some of the great directorial works he has produced, this is impressive beyond belief but not exactly unexpected from a character like Clint.
Since there are so many Eastwood features to pick from (72 acting credits on IMDB), this list is about the films he has directed and acted in. This means that we will, unfortunately, have to omit some of his greatest performances to date (Dirty Harry, A Fistful of Dollars, The Good, The Bad and the Ugly, Escape from Alcatraz, Hang ‘Em High, etc.), despite them being as great as they are.
