The Haven Tent: My Game-Changer for Heavenly Sleep in the Wilderness (Review and Detailed Practical Test).
Learn how the Haven Tent revolutionized my outdoor sleeping experience. It's a special-designed hammock in which you lie flat and can even sleep on your side.
From Martin Gebhardt. Check out my “About me” page.
👉 The key facts from this guide
- The Haven Tent is a kind of hammock that allows for flat lying thanks to its patented design with specially shaped spreader bars and a fitted sleeping mat.
- Complete package with tarp and integrated insect net for maximum protection with minimal effort.
- The hanging tent promises a high level of sleeping comfort comparable to a bed at home, suitable for back, side, and stomach sleepers.
- Robustness and quality due to high-quality materials such as 20D Ripstop Nylon and 210T Polyester as well as excellent workmanship and accessories.
- Easy and quick setup in 5 minutes, compact and moderate weight, ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, Bushcrafters, and frequent campers.
- A Haven Tent Set starts at $313.00, but the price is justified by its durability and the comfort it provides, especially suitable for regular outdoor adventures for those who want to sleep straight and elevated.
I have always found hammocks great - I float weightlessly between the trees and am removed from the hard, insect-rich forest floor.
Meditative, almost poetic! But spending an entire night in it is not my thing. My back bent like a banana, a slipping sleeping pad… Sleep is out of the question.
Then I came across the Haven Tent and was immediately excited: A hammock in which you can LIE FLAT, with weather protection and insect netting - exactly what I need!
Well, and today I want to tell you about the Haven Tent.
This is how you will quickly find out if this hammock tent is also something for you.
My wife just rolled her eyes when I moved to the garden for a test sleep
"Another outdoor gadget…" said my wife.
But I tell you: This thing is amazing! No comparison to a regular hammock. On the first night, I lay in it like on my mattress at home and could turn and twist as I wanted. Heavenly!
Since then, the Haven Tent has been my faithful companion on wilderness tours and has kept me dry through many a storm.
Sure, the price is steep. But every time it saves me from a restless night on hard ground, I'm glad about the investment. As a passionate outdoor sleeper, this system is worth every cent.
Whoever sleeps restfully is energized and motivated for the day. That is incredibly important to me!
My conclusion in advance:
Anyone who often spends the night in nature and has the necessary budget cannot overlook the Haven Tent.
Try it out and you'll probably never want anything else again! But beware: it's addictive - since I've had it, I find myself drawn to the forest even more often.
Let's now go into detail together about what makes the Haven Tent so special.
The Concept: What makes the Haven Tent special?
But what exactly makes the Haven Tent so special? Why was I able to sleep so heavenly in it compared to a regular hammock?
The secret lies in the well-thought-out concept.
Patented design for flat lying
The Haven Tent is not just a hammock with a cover. No, the developers have put in significant effort and created a patented design that provides you with a completely flat lying surface.
Are you wondering how that's supposed to work in a hammock?
Quite simple:
Through the clever construction with specially shaped spreader bars, tensioning, and the fitted sleeping pad, a flat, stable surface is created that optimally distributes your weight.
Result: You are lying down and relaxed as if in your bed at home - without that hollow back feeling or bent legs.
On your back, on your side, on your stomach - take your pick! I was amazed at what a difference it makes.
"With the Haven Tent, you say goodbye to crooked nights. Finally enjoy relaxed sleep in the hammock!"
Attention: I strongly recommend ordering a Haven Tent Set. Simply placing another sleeping pad inside will not work!
👉 A well-inflated sleeping pad in the Haven Tent is essential for you to lie flat!
Complete set with weather protection and insect net
Speaking of throws: The Haven Tent is available as a true all-inclusive package. Unlike a regular hammock, here you get everything you need to camp weatherproof and insect-proof:
- Robust outer tent with 4000 mm water column (absolutely storm and rainproof)
- Integrated fine-mesh mosquito net (guaranteed to keep out any mosquitoes)
- Guy lines, pegs & Co. for a rock-solid stand
All these components are perfectly matched and ready for use in no time.
No more hassle with endless ropes and tarps. No more stress from annoying insect bites. Instead, maximum protection with minimal effort. That's how outdoor sleeping is fun!
Advantages over regular hammocks
So let's summarize once again the advantages of the Haven Tent compared to a classic hammock:
- Flat, ergonomic lying thanks to patented design
- Protection from rain, wind, and insects thanks to cleverly designed complete equipment
- Quick, intuitive setup thanks to perfectly matched components
- Ample storage space thanks to numerous integrated pockets and hanging options
- Thoughtful details like eyelets, toggles, etc.
My opinion:
"With the Haven Tent, you get the best of both worlds: the floating sleep fun of a hammock and the 'lying flat' of a tent. For me, the perfect symbiosis."
If you ask me: Just for the brilliant concept, the creators of Haven - especially Derek Tillotson - deserve giant praise.
They have elegantly solved the most annoying problems of regular hammocks and turned them into a top-class outdoor shelter.
The Haven Tent is available in Normal, XL, and Safari
The Haven Tent is available in three versions. Here is the size chart of the different Haven Tent models:
| Model | Sleeping Pad Dimensions | Pack Size Set with Sleeping Pad | Set Weight | Max. Load | Tarp |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Haven Tent | 198 x 60 cm | 35 x 20 x 15 cm | 3 kg | 129 kg | 320 g 185 x 261 cm |
| Haven XL | 203 x 76 cm | 40 x 20 x 20 cm | 3.47 kg | 129 kg | 380 g 200 x 284 cm |
| Haven Safari | 203 x 76 cm | 50 x 25 x 20 cm | 5.61 kg | 158 kg | 945 g 200 x 284 cm |
Equipment and Workmanship of the Haven Tent
A great concept is, of course, useless if the workmanship is sloppy or the materials are cheap.
And my impression: In terms of quality and cleverness, the Haven Tent is also at the top.
Material and Durability
Let's start with the exterior. The Haven Tent (I have the XL version) gives me an overall impression of being stable and durable. No wonder, given the choice of materials:
- Tarp made of durable 20D ripstop nylon
- Tent floor and hammock made of tear-resistant 210T polyester
- Guy lines made of high-quality, UV-resistant polyester
- Tarp fabric for extra durability and protection
"Nothing was spared here. Top materials, excellently crafted - you can feel and see that at first glance."
All seams are neatly sewn, the zippers run smoothly, and the components are excellently matched. The Haven Tent looks like it is made from one piece - no cheap Chinese botch job.
Water Resistance and Storm Safety
Speaking of PU coating: That's the secret ingredient for absolute waterproofness. 4000 mm water column for the tarp and the hammock - every downpour just rolls off.
I had already used the Haven Tent in pouring heavy rain and stayed snugly dry. It was a dream in it.
Even stormy gusts do not easily unsettle it. Thanks to the stable construction and the many guying points, it withstands wind.
However: In hurricane-like conditions, I would prefer to seek shelter in a cabin. Safety first.
Ventilation and Climate Comfort
A common problem with tightly sealed tents is moisture and foggy walls.
With the Haven Tent, I haven't observed that yet. Since you only have a mosquito net at the top of the hammock, it doesn't get very damp here.
If you place the tarp too close to the hammock, it could get damp. So, leave a distance between the tarp and the hammock of 20 to 30 cm on each side.
"In the Haven Tent, you wake up refreshed and without a clammy feeling. Thanks to top ventilation!"
And another climate comfort bonus: The integrated 9 cm high sleeping pad effectively shields against cooling ground cold and keeps you snug and warm. With an R-value of 3, the Haven Tent is even suitable for year-round camping down to –5 °C.
Mosquito net and insect protection
Mosquitoes, flies, gnats - for many, the purest sleep hell in nature. In the Haven Tent, you simply leave the buzzing folks outside.
The fine-mesh mosquito net closes tightly all around and even has a practical two-way zipper. (And dear ones, the zipper works like butter, really perfect!)
Means: You can conveniently open the net for entry and exit and then reliably close it (from inside and outside). Without an annoying loophole for uninvited guests.
Wonderful to be able to hit the hay without buzzing and crawling!
Storage space and clever extras
Another advantage of the Haven Tent is the many well-thought-out storage and stowage options.
In the spacious interior, you will find practical mesh pockets, storage compartments, and hangers everywhere.
Yes, you can even take your entire backpack into the inner tent!
Everything has its fixed, easily accessible place. No more cumbersome rummaging in the dark!
"Every part, every extra, every detail of the Haven Tent seems meticulously thought out. Professionals were at work here who know what matters when it comes to outdoor sleeping."
The zippers are also robust and easy to operate even with cold fingers. All components exposed to heat, moisture, or UV have been additionally reinforced - for example, with plastic coatings or welds.
In short: The Haven Tent is designed for durability, even under harsh conditions.
Practical Test: My Experiences with the Haven Tent
Enough of the gray theory - how does the Haven Tent perform in real outdoor life?
I have tested it thoroughly for you, from the home garden to wild Bushcrafting. Here is my honest experience report:
Construction and Handling
The setup is now super easy and quick for me. Initially, I needed a bit of fiddling to see how everything fit together.
But by the second time, I had it figured out. Without a sleeping pad, I set up the Haven Tent XL in under 5 minutes.
This is how I proceed:
- Unpack everything
- Stretch Haven Tent between two trees
- Secure tarp
- Done
Typically, you need most of the time to inflate the sleeping pad. That already takes a few minutes. But with the pump sack - which is also the bag for the sleeping pad - it is extremely easy.
The fact is: You NEVER have to blow here again. The pump sack becomes your lung.
This is outstanding!
Since then, my "hanging house" has been up in 5 minutes.
The guy lines of the tarp can be easily tensioned. The line guidance is sensibly arranged, nothing gets tangled.
Especially pleasant: The XL variant offers me plenty of space. This allows even me, as a sturdy guy, to lie in it comfortably and spread out.
And that with a pack size (for the XL version) of only 40x20x15 cm - Amazing how compactly this space miracle can be stowed away.
Lying Comfort and Sleep Quality
Let's get to the most important part - lying and sleeping in the Haven Tent. And what can I say? This makes me rave about it.
With the flat, wide lying surface (over 203 cm in length and almost 76 cm in width), you have as much space as in your bed.
Here is the comparison: Normal mattresses in our beds are 200 cm long and 80–90 cm wide.
No more bent arms or legs, no uncomfortable hollow back, no crooked hanging angles. Instead, you lie ergonomically and can turn and twist freely.
"Beauty sleep is finally possible for side sleepers like me in the Haven Tent. What a relief!"
Exactly! You can comfortably sleep on your side here or even on your stomach. And since I am a side sleeper, this is the strongest argument for me to get the Haven Tent.
But not only the surface itself is top-notch. The lying comfort with the sleeping pad made of 40D ripstop nylon (R-value: 3, down to –5 °C, for year-round camping) is also unparalleled.
Softly padded yet supportive - a clever compromise between comfort and back-friendliness. Even my occasionally troublesome lumbar spine no longer acts up.
Combined with the cozy warmth, the steady rocking, and the spacious inner tent, this leads to a sleeping experience like in a five-star hotel.
Even die-hard tent skeptics are guaranteed to get a good night's sleep here. Snooze like heaven!

Use in various weather conditions
Sun, rain, storm - the Haven Tent had to endure all weather conditions in my practical test. And I have to say: It held up bravely.
In dry and hot conditions, the open mosquito net ensures a pleasantly airy climate. Although the cover heats a bit in direct sunlight, it's no comparison to a tent!
"The tarp is not an empty advertising phrase - in the Haven Tent, you stay cozy and dry in rain and wind."
Things got serious on a hiking tour in the pouring rain. Thanks to the 4000 mm water column, the drops from above simply beaded off the outer tent. Even strong gusts of wind were handled confidently by the Haven Tent thanks to its stable construction.
Only when it snows and the temperatures are bitterly cold does the fun eventually stop - but that's the case with any tent. Then only heavy expedition equipment will help.
All in all, I would rate the Haven Tent as wonderfully weather-flexible. Whether in the humid summer or dreary autumn: You stay reliably dry and wake up fully refreshed.
Packing size and weight during transport
Space miracle or not: When hiking and trekking, you still have to get your tent from A to B somehow. All the more pleasing that the Haven Tent XL is easy to transport.
With a compact pack size of 40x20x20 cm (in the XL version, the normal version is 35x20x15 cm), it fits even in smaller backpacks or can be conveniently strapped on the side or bottom. The packing bags are stable and well-sealable.
"The Haven Tent hits the sweet spot for me: compact and light enough for hikes, yet as comfortable as a real tent."
👉 The total weight including insulation mat and tarp is around 3472 g in the XL version - the normal version weighs 2883 g.
Admittedly: For an ultralight minimal gear, this is too much. But for the comfort offered, I find it completely acceptable. I've carried significantly heavier ground tents before.
Cleaning and Care
After one tour is before the next tour - and that means cleaning and maintaining the tent for the next use. Here too, the Haven Tent scores with simplicity and ease of care.
Coarse dirt and leaves can be easily shaken out and brushed off. For heavier soiling, simply wipe everything down with a damp cloth and mild soapy water. Then let it dry well - done!
The materials are resistant and do not require much embellishment. So far, I have not noticed any stains or signs of wear, even though the tent has had to endure quite a bit.
Only the sleeping pad should not be treated too roughly. Sure, it can also forgive the occasional rough outdoor use. But a sleeping pad does not belong on the forest floor.
"As with any tent: Handle with care, dry after use, and pack it clean. Then you will enjoy your Haven Tent forever!"
I usually roll up the individual parts loosely, secure them with the integrated straps, and then casually store everything in the packing bag. Elaborate origami folding is not necessary - it fits in effortlessly as it is.
Areas of Application: Who is the Haven Tent Suitable For?
But who is the Haven Tent really the right choice for?
Here is a brief overview of where and for whom it is best suited in my opinion:
Occasional Campers vs. Outdoor Enthusiasts
-
For occasional campers who go camping 1–2 times a year, the Haven Tent is probably oversized and too expensive. A cheaper hammock or a simple ground tent will suffice here.
-
Outdoor enthusiasts, such as campers who sleep outside regularly and in any weather, will love and appreciate the advantages of the Haven Tent. Especially the mix of sleeping comfort and weather protection is worth its weight in gold here.
Various Outdoor Activities
-
For hiking and trekking over several days, the Haven Tent is excellent. Thanks to its compact pack size and moderate weight, it's easy to take along, and thanks to its simple handling, it can be set up quickly in the evening.
-
Also for Bushcrafters and survival fans who value a robust, reliable outdoor accommodation, the Haven Tent is a good choice. Sure, the purist-spartan branch or leaf shelter has its charm and somehow belongs to the survival lifestyle. But let's be honest: After a long day full of challenges in the wilderness, even a hardy Bushcrafter appreciates a comfortable, dry sleeping place. And that's exactly what the Haven Tent offers - without having to compromise on robustness and off-road capability.
"The Haven Tent is perfect for those who often sleep outdoors and don't want to compromise on sleep comfort - whether hiking, canoeing, or backpacking!"
Advantages and Disadvantages for Different User Groups
-
Families with small children will appreciate the simplicity of the Haven Tents. However, it could quickly become cramped for more than two people - in this case, a larger group tent would be a better choice. Note: Do not overload, the normal and XL versions can carry a maximum of 129 kg.
-
Ultra-minimalists, speed hikers, and lightweight enthusiasts will likely opt for even more compact, spartan hammocks and tarps. Because despite its smart design, the Haven Tent is not an "ultra-lightweight".
The Haven Tent in Comparison
Now you have already heard a lot about the advantages of the Haven Tent. But how does it compare directly with other outdoor accommodations?
Here's a brief overview with a wink:
Advantages over…
-
Bivouacs: In the Haven Tent, you sleep like a king, while in a bivouac, you lie more like a buried clam in the sand. Rain and insect protection included!
-
Ground Tents: Never sleep on crooked roots or slippery muck again - in the Haven Tent, you float effortlessly above it all. It's practically the penthouse bungalow of tents.
-
Hammocks: Deep sleep instead of the banana effect, plus a complete protection package against wind and weather. How much is the fish? 🐟
Disadvantages compared to ultralight hammocks
Well, it's like in real life: There's always something. Compared to ultra-spartan hammocks, the Haven Tent doesn't make a blockbuster figure in terms of weight and pack size.
But hey, at least you're lying in Abraham's bosom and not like a piece of Prussian sausage.
"The Haven Tent is like a Swiss Army knife: It can do many things very well, but not everything perfectly. However, it is a reliable all-rounder for almost any outdoor situation!"
Here are my comparisons with my other systems.
Weight: Hammock Tarp System vs. Tarp System vs. Haven Tent
- Haven Tent (hanging tent, four-season sleeping pad + tarp)
- with three-season sleeping bag (1800 g): 5190 grams
- with summer sleeping bag (990 g): 4380 grams
- Hammock Tarp System
- with three-season sleeping bag (1800 g) + sleeping pad: 4500 grams
- with summer sleeping bag (990 g) + sleeping pad: 3690 grams
- Tarp System (without hammock), not pictured
- with three-season sleeping bag (1800 g) + sleeping pad: 3520 grams
- with summer sleeping bag (990 g) + sleeping pad: 2710 grams
Weight: Tent System vs. Haven Tent
- Tent System
- with three-season sleeping bag (1800 g) + sleeping pad: 3800 grams
- with summer sleeping bag (990 g) + sleeping pad: 2990 grams
- Haven Tent (hanging tent, four-season sleeping pad + tarp)
- with three-season sleeping bag (1800 g): 5190 grams
- with summer sleeping bag (990 g): 4380 grams
- Please note that you will probably still need a groundsheet for both the tarp and the tent system. I always put a groundsheet under my tent to protect it.
- I have depicted the thicker three-season sleeping bag in the pictures here, which weighs 1800 grams. In the summer, I take the lightweight sleeping bag, which weighs only 990 grams. This reduces the total weight by another 810 grams.
Alternatives and Competing Products
Of course, there are other hammock tents and tarp systems on the market. However, many are either much more simply equipped or cost a fortune.
The Haven Tent is certainly not a bargain in terms of price, but in return, you get a well-thought-out, high-quality complete system. The overall package of function, comfort, and workmanship is simply right.
Some noteworthy alternatives would be, for example:
- The Lawson Blue Ridge Camping Hammock (stable hybrid design of hammock and tent)
- The Tentsile UNA 1-Person Tree Tent (cool design, but less weather-resistant)
- The Hennessy Hammock Explorer Ultralite (more minimalist, but also more spartan)
One thing is clear: At last, you have to decide for yourself which priorities you set for your outdoor accommodation.
For my part, I have found my perfect balance between comfort and functionality with the Haven Tent.
And if I have to lug a few more grams around for that - who cares? For that, I sleep like a king. 😉
Price-Performance Ratio
Let's get to the exciting part: the dear money. Because clearly, the Haven Tent is not a bargain bin.
But is it worth its proud price? Here's a brief look at the price-performance ratio:
Acquisition Costs and Durability
At around $335, the Haven Tent XL as a complete set is certainly not an impulse purchase for in-between. However, you get a top-processed complete system with high durability.
"The Haven Tent is an investment in years of outdoor fun. For me, every dollar was worth it."
The robust materials and thoughtful construction are designed for frequent, multi-year use. You won't find scratches, small cracks, or worn spots anytime soon - no matter how often you drag your Haven Tent through the wilderness.
Comparison to cheaper and more expensive outdoor accommodations
Sure, a simple hammock, like the NATUREFUN Hammock with Mosquito Net or a bivy sack are much cheaper to get than the Haven Tent. But they do not offer nearly as much comfort and protection.
On the other hand, there are ultralight tents and tarp systems that are even pricier than the Haven Tent - without necessarily offering more.
"Quality has its price - but with the Haven Tent, you really get something for your money. Comparable luxury solutions often cost significantly more."
Compared to other high-quality outdoor accommodations like the Tentsile UNA or the Clark NX-270, the Haven Tent doesn't fare so badly in terms of price. It delivers a balanced overall package at a fair rate.
Is the investment worth it?
Whether the purchase is worth it for you personally depends, of course, on your preferences and your budget.
But as a rule of thumb, I would say:
- If you frequently sleep outdoors (let's say more than 10 times a year)…
- …and value sleep comfort and weather resistance…
- …and are willing to spend a bit more for a durable, well-designed outdoor shelter…
…then the Haven Tent is surely a good deal for you.
"For me personally, the Haven Tent paid off after just the third night outside. Finally being off the ground, sleeping deeply relaxed, and waking up refreshed in the morning - priceless."
Because please note: The quality of your equipment depends on how much it helps you when you want to sleep. If you sleep restfully at night, that is a huge advantage.
Look at what the well-known Bushcrafter Mors Kochanski says:
The quality of a survival kit depends on how much it can help you when you want to sleep. If you can sleep well at night, you've made it. - Mors Kochanski
Do you also know that feeling when you're out with others and sleeping in the wilderness? There is always THAT one question:
"And, how did you sleep?"
I'll be honest: My first night was usually as bad as the kebab around the corner. And mostly because everything in my hammock shifted or I lay crooked like a banana.
This no longer happens to me with the Haven Tent.
A former infantry soldier on YouTube sums it up quite well:
"Sleep is the most important thing for me on the trail, and I gladly carry the weight of a system that provides both protection and comfort. I sleep better in my Haven than in my bed."
Bargain hunters and ultralight enthusiasts might find the price a bit steep.
But those who have the financial means and a sense for outdoor quality will get a formidable "all-inclusive package" with the Haven Tent, which quickly pays for itself.
So: Count less bills, watch more stars! 🌟
My tips for you to sleep especially restfully in the Haven Tent
So that you can sleep really restfully in the Haven Tent and get the most out of it, here are a few tips from me:
- Most importantly, make sure the ridgeline (the main line) is nice and tight. Only then will the sleeping pad lie completely flat. Always pitch the tent as high as possible without stressing the trees too much.
- Make sure your hips are exactly in the middle of the curve. This way, your weight is optimally distributed and nothing sags.
- If you want more fresh air, simply roll up the sides of the tarp and secure them with the Velcro fasteners. Even from the inside - how practical is that? In case of rain or wind, it's better to keep it nice and tight.
- Too humid in the tent? Then tighten the guy lines of the tarp nice and taut outward, with at least 20 cm of space to the hammock. This way, condensation water will dissipate better, and your cocoon will stay dry!
- Always inflate the pad fully - especially in cold weather. Because if the trapped air contracts when it cools down, it will otherwise become too soft overnight.
- If you want to pack the sleeping pad again, simply open the valve, roll out all the air, and fold the pad in half.
- Make sure the tarp is properly tensioned - especially in wind and weather! Also use the side attachment loops for this.
Here's another clever hack: Simply hang your backpack with mini carabiners on the ridgeline in the foot area. This way, you have everything within reach, it doesn't get in the way, and it stays guaranteed dry.
And if others are envious of your "canopy bed," just tell them where they can get a 10% discount (psst, it's all the way at the bottom 👇).

Who is the Haven Tent recommended for?
The Haven Tent is made for…
- …Outdoor enthusiasts who do not want to compromise on sleeping comfort even in the wilderness.
- …Frequent campers who are looking for a durable, reliable outdoor accommodation for any weather.
- …Nature lovers who prefer to sleep elevated.
- …Bushcrafters and survivalists who value a robust, off-road shelter solution.
Rather not suitable for…
- …ultralight lovers and weight enthusiasts (unless comfort is more important than every gram).
- …fair-weather campers and occasional holidaymakers (a cheaper hammock will do here as well).
- …groups and families with more than two people (unless everyone is swinging in their Haven Tent)
Personal Summary and Recommendation
Sure, cheap is different. But the investment is worth it if you use the Haven Tent often and intensively. It is a top-quality, clever, and extremely versatile piece of equipment that has already given me many restful nights in the forest and at seminars.
"For me as a frequent camper and outdoor enthusiast, the Haven Tent is a level-up among hammocks. I just like how it combines comfort, weather protection, and closeness to nature!"
My honest recommendation:
If you have the necessary budget and a love for sleeping outdoors, you will love the Haven Tent! Just order, hang it up, snuggle in, and never venture into nature without it again. But be careful: it's addictive! 😉
From me, the Haven Tent gets a clear purchase recommendation with 4.8 out of 5 stars. Points are deducted only for the proud price and the not quite ultralight weight - but that's all the criticism there is.
My conclusion coincides with the feedback from the community: Most users confirm the excellent sleeping comfort and the clever complete equipment of the Haven Tents. Many consider the investment justified given the quality offered.
There are, however, also critical voices: above all, the hefty weight and the too-short attachment straps were repeatedly criticized. And of course, the proud price is polarizing - for ultra-light purists, the Haven Tent is clearly 'too much'.
Bottom line: The Haven Tent is a top choice for anyone who doesn't want to compromise on outdoor comfort and is willing to accept a few extra grams for it.
Those who are looking for a maximally lightweight and simple set-up are better off with classic hammocks or tarps (here is my best list).
So, and now off into the wilderness with you! Whether with Haven Tent or without - the main thing is to get out and enjoy nature.
With my discount code "SURVIVALKOMPASS" you get a 10% discount on haventents.com.
Also check out the "Creator Cashback Program". There you can get up to 100% of the purchase price refunded!
Disclosure: I received the Haven Tent free of charge to test. The fact is: I do not accept anything in return for a positive review and always give a fair, balanced opinion. If I don't like something, I say so. Even though I received the tent for free, an honest review is important to me, which no manufacturer can influence.
And now I wish you unforgettable, starry nights and crisp, fresh mornings out there.
Thank you for reading, you are brilliant if you made it this far. 🙏
