Tent Living

Tent Living is a chronicle of one man’s life in a 12' x 14' canvas wall tent. For three years, David Shilling lived in a tent in the woods of rural Virginia. This blog chronicles his entire three-year experience. You’ll find practical tips on all aspects of long-term tent living, and read about the author’s spiritual journey as he discovers the true meaning of simple living.
