Just a word of thanks. You have inspired my 12 year old son to learn knots and set up shelters during this quarantine. He's out in the field testing his newfound knowledge in the natural acreage around our property. As a result I've spent a few nights camping with him in his shelters in eyesight of the house. He cant wait to go on some real camping trips once the lockdown is lifted.

I was fortunate as a young kid and had one of the coolest trees in a forest that border my property. The tree was very old and about 8 ft dia about 2 ft up from base. But it was hollow inside up to about 10 ft up. It was big enough inside it for 4 kids to sit inside. Or 2 for camping in it. For about 3 years we had the best childhood a kid could have.

If you live in the south, particularly, I'm sure you're already familiar. However, I think it bears repeating that if you're cleaning dead leaves and debris out of an old hollowed out tree or anywhere else, you'll want to use a stick or something to move that stuff out. Dangerous, bitey things like to live in those places, too. You get tagged on the finger/hand/chest/arm/face by a rattler or a moccasin hiding in there, rain and sleep will be the least of your worries way out in the woods. Be smart, stay safe.
