Looks like a lot of work to set all that up, I simply don't understand the benefit of extra work/design/expense to get a tent up off the ground.
Move to Oregon and camp anytime other than July and August and you will totally understand.

Here's my "jeep" trailer, a 1946 Bantam T3-C with custom "chuck wagon" style top, cook box, 12v ARB fridge, propane, 15 gal. water tank, etc.

Some of us Oregonians go tent camping year round
Me too, but it sucks to wake up to a wet tent floor.
When I get home from this trip offshore, I plan on adding linear actuators, so I can lower the COG on my trailer during travel and then raise it to annex height for when I find a spot.
Just to make it more complicated, because it can't be any worse than the freaking table on the right in the pic to set up.

Hey buddy, yeah, that’s what I said, “don’t understand.” I didn’t say you said anything was “wrong with it.” Check post #65, which has not been edited. My post was in good fun. Sorry if there was some misunderstanding.I never said there was anything wrong with it, I simply said that I don't understand it.
In no way am I trying to be negative. Like I said, I think it looks cool!
I wish I could sleep in a hammock. I find them too constricting. Same with sleeping bags.

For winter camping w/o heat a very good mummy bag and insulation below you is a must, sounds like you wouldn't be caught in a sub zero degree bag with the hood closed and only your mouth exposed haha:

Both inside your mummy bag, right?This is why out in the woods I sleep with a .45 ACP and a shotgun, problem solved.

Who remembers the sleeping bag scene from Friday the 13th? That's another reason I prefer blankets!

I built a sleeping platform by constructing a plywood box below for tote storage, then 3 boards front to back. I’m 5-11, and fit fine with my 6yr old son. We’ve had a blast this summer.
