Elevating the concept of a country weekend to a whole new level, The Treehotel provides an achingly cool modern alternative for some quality green time. Located in the midst of the Boreal forest in Sweden, this awe-inspiring concept hotel will blow your mind. Fusing boyhood nostalgia with cutting-edge architecture, each treeroom was born out of a totally unique design dreamt up by some of Sweden’s leading architects; think tree houses for style savvy grown-ups.

Nestled high amongst the century-old pine trees, currently guests can select from five existing rooms, though plans for an additional 19 are already underway. The Cabin room boasts a traditional log cabin structure with grandiose windows for panorama addicts, while The Blue Cone has a den-like feel and its own footbridge. Kids/trekky fans will love the UFO. Space age and set over two floors, this ultra-concept space will surely unlock a sense of adventure that you haven’t felt in years. For architecture junkies, it has to be The Mirrorcube or The Bird’s Nest. Both structures are completely camouflaged by the lush green surroundings, which will impart a sense of hippy-like unity between the guest and the great outdoors.

If hiking for two days solid feels a little intense, The Manual recommends kayaking along the Lule River or booking an action-packed dog sled ride in pursuit of the breathtaking Northern Lights. If you’re in need of a little R&R, kick back in the Tree Sauna and take a dip in the hot tub; there’s no better way to end the day.

3 duct tape camping hacks: Why it should always be in your hiking or camping kit
Stick to duct tape while camping — here's how
Closeup of two friends setting up a tent in the woods.

One of the most useful scenarios for duct tape is out in the wilderness, but it can be tricky to figure out how to store it. One of my go-to ways is to simply wrap several feet of duct tape around an old credit card or a sturdy piece of cardboard. I've also seen people wrap duct tape around their water bottles, but that's never appealed to me since it can be a bit of a mess to clean. Regardless of how you do it, taking some duct tape with you might just make or break your next camping or hiking trip. Here's how.
3 uses for duct tape while out in the wilderness

Patch repairs with duct tape
Sleeping pads pop and nylon tears. We've all been there, and duct tape can save the day! It's great to have duct tape on hand to patch a hole or close a gap in my tent. If you happen to accidentally tear your sleeping bag, a patch of duct tape will get you through it. Reinforce broken straps, seams, zippers, or even sole separation in your shoes and you'll make it home all right.
Duct tape in first aid
When thinking about duct tape, first aid might not always come to mind. However, duct tape is great in a jiffy for splint support if you or someone in your party ends up breaking or spraining something. With a piece of clean cloth or gauze, you can create a makeshift bandage in an emergency. You can also use a small square as blister protection if your shoes start rubbing your feet raw.
Using duct tape as an organization tool
While masking tape might work a bit better in this case, duct tape can still be used to label and tag gear or mark items. That said, nothing is better than duct tape if you want to seal an open liquid container. Duct tape can also be used to keep loose cords, tent poles, or stakes bundled together in a pinch.
