Extreme Campsite Dangles From Tree, Cliff
        Can you imagine camping out in a tent 6,562 feet off the ground? Can you believe that some people actually enjoy doing this? Of course if you were not afraid of heights than it may be ok. But overnight that would be scary. For years this has been a way to put up your tent. The tent hangs from treetops imagine what would happen if the tree broke. You may be wondering how you get in the tent first you have to have a harness so that you can climb your way over. Some experts give you a class about how to do this. When you rent these kinds of tents (these tents are not cheap a night on the cliffs edge costs 1,199$ If you want a tent that is on the ground while you are sleeping it is a lot cheaper. If you ever camp over a cliff, GOOD LUCK.

         This is related to science because of how did someone make up this crazy idea to sleep over the edge of a cliff? Also how did they first do it? I wonder if they had any testers? This is also related to science because how would you know exactly where to hang your tent for example what if the tree wasn’t strong enough? Would the tree brake and then would you fall down? Also because of the gravity the gravity pulls the tent down so that it makes a perfect triangle but if it was in space for example it wouldn’t be able to do that. In conclusion I think you can see why this topic is related to science.
