That's camping with all the shitty parts and a really nice cot.

Wind, rain, dust, falling shit, bugs, animals, etc. You can get a similar atmosphere by having a tent and opening the vent flaps. Or like, sleeping under a tarp to mitigate rain if you really want that outdoorsy feel. I knew a guy who slept in a hammock on nice nights but I fear the skeeters.

That is indeed the joke.

There are nice bug nets made specifically to fit around hammocks. You see the sky and not be eaten alive.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Some hammocks even have the bug net built in creating a nice bugfree cocoon.

Did you know that the weather in the mountains can change rapidly and without warnings?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 months ago

Sorry, tarps and scaffolding is extra.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That was a joke Art installation AFAIK a decade back.

Swiss here, no it isn't. Here's a (german) overview of a few "openair hotels": https://www.stilpalast.ch/travel/specials/schlafen-unter-freiem-himmel-7144

This would only be cool if you're somehow guaranteed zero people/predators or cameras in a large enough radius that you won't ever be seen or attacked by an animal. Fucking under the stars on a real bed sounds pretty cool. But there is a building in the background. I would be too paranoid that someone is watching with a telescope

[–] [email protected] 21 points 6 months ago

Forget zero people/predators, I need a guarantee for zero mosquitoes and flies

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

I'd just start beating off while staring straight at it with an expressionless face.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You could have walls but no roof

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago (1 children)

To make it even crazier, you could have a roof that is transparent and you could open. Tada you get as much outdoor as you want, without being soaked wet by the thunderstorm.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

A greenhouse? Sounds fun in summer.

Hope the weather forecasts around there are very accurate.

Wild animals: It's free ~~real estate~~ dinner.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 6 months ago

There's a solid foundation for this idea but I still don't see it putting a roof over my head to be honest.

Advanced level “don’t dead, open inside”

[–] [email protected] 21 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Too many wind-blowable things in that "room".

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Exactly. This would only work in a dry summer.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 6 months ago

Sleeping outdoor without shelter > camping > glamping > glamping outdoor without shelter

Whew, we've come quite far.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 months ago (4 children)

Am I the only one that would actually really enjoy this?

Being outside in the mountains with fresh cool air, but you actually have a proper, comfy warm bed to enjoy as well?

Sign me the fuck up.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Until it rains... or storms... or there is thunder or snails or dogs barking or whatever. Hell no "-"

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago

Or something poops on your face.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I would have to imagine they have something in place for when it rains, thunder (without rain) would be awesome, you're in the mountains with few neighbours so wouldn't worry about dogs barking, and if you're worried about snails you could put some salt down I guess.

You know, there's this thing called "camping", you should really look into it.

Sure let me just bring my whole-ass double bed and mattress with me when I go camping 🤡

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

shit I have a pair of inflatable twin mattresses that can be joined together. open up my sleeping bag, put it down as base warmth, with a pillow and another cozy blanket... That pretty much meets the definition

If you ever slept outside, you know how good it can be. Fresh air, cold winds. Only and only if nothing goes wrong.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

Fresh air, cold winds, and hypothermia.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

There was this bamboo treehouse that my wife and I slept in on a vacation. It was really nice and relaxing. We plan to go back soon.

Someone has a fundamental misunderstanding about what a room is...

I thought it was the onion, but I searched and found it... $340 a night.

Had to double check the date to make sure I wasn't in a 2 month long coma and that it wasn't April fools.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

Anything "glamping" or related is full of unhinged rates for stuff. Don't ask me why.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago

That doesn't seem unworkable. Just add a few walls and a roof and it would be a nice place to stay.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Done that for free

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Wild predators are one thing but what about bats with rabies? You wouldn't even know you got bit until it's too late.

[–] Honytawk 6 points 6 months ago

I'd be more worried about the weather.
