I just received my 2nd Tree Tent, a Safari Connect, and I love it even more than the Stingray I've had for several years now! I sleep outside any night I can, and the Stingray has been my main 'bed' for the past several winters in Austin, TX, where fortunately the overnight temps stay warm enough to enjoy sleeping under the stars. Because of this, I often leave my 'Nest' setup for months at a time, much to the delight of my friends, neighbors and strangers who are always asking about the Spaceship in our front yard =D Unfortunately a few weeks ago it actually snowed in Austin while I was out of town, and the extra weight on the rainfly caused one of the straps holding the tent stakes to rip. I contacted Tentsile, who not only offered me the option to obtain repairs thru them directly and provided a list of repair shops capable of fixing the straps, they also offered me a discount on a new tent. Communication was timely and friendly, and even offered some tips for my new Connect. Shipping was SUPER fast as they have a distribution side in Texas, so I received my tent the next day after ordering!! I had been eyeing their newer Safari line specifically designed to handle semi-permanent hangs like I have been using my Stingray, so I used the opportunity to 'upgrade' to the Safari Connect! And WOW I didn't even know what I was missing going from the Gen2 to the Gen3 models, specifically all the additional pockets/storage! The Connect is also more functional for sleeping 1 or 2, as the side by side design allows you to cozy up better than the triangle layout of the Stingray, plus the 4 zip open panels allow for greater accessibility as well as an un-obstructed overhead view while laying down and staring up at the sky. If you're using it solo you can loosen the center strap to give yourself the whole tent as a hammock, or you can tighten it when sleeping 2 to create separate sleeping bays so you don't both end up smooshed in the middle. I really love all the additional pockets inside the tent, and the tower of pockets in the middle near the head of the hammock is secured in place by very strong velcro, but that makes it easily (re)movable if it's in the way when sharing the tent. The cargo net storage underneath the tent also creates a perfect spot for bags/gear that is still accessible while in the tent, but doesn't take up sleeping space and also makes it easer to grab things when you're not in the tent. The materials and construction of the Safari models have also been enhanced to put up with being exposed to sun, rain, and daily usage, so I'm pleased with my decision to upgrade. The mesh tent top even seems both more durable AND higher visibility, almost like you're looking thru glass when it's in place. It also seems to have smaller holes to keep even smaller pests out, altho all Tentsile tree tents are rated to 'sand flies' AKA no see ums, so you're well protected either way. And finally the rain tarp is heavy duty enough to put up with the infrequent but severe downpours we get in central Texas. After I get my Safari repaired upon my return to the West Coast this summer, I will have the option to create a stack when car camping with friends and/or at festivals/fairs, and the Connect's ability to connect to other Connects means I just need to convince a couple friends to pick one up, and together we can create the Trilogy super tent!!
