Had to do a double take after noticing the people… those tents are huuuge o_o
I did a double take after reading this comment. Then an ultra rare triple take.
Her buns are the best!
Holy heck! Suddenly Solstheim and half of Morrowind have become clear to me. This has to be the inspiration for a population in an area full of dust storms.
Dune also took inspiration from the Bedouin people for the Fremen
That’s also what I was thinking!
Whenever I see an image like this, I think of Saharan rock band Tinariwen, who live part of the year nomadically out in the desert, part of their Tuareg and family’s tradition since times lost to memory, even though they do have permanent addresses in… I think it’s Algeria.
Picture being out in the deep desert of Algeria, Mali, Tunisia, and/or Morocco. Your spacious and cozy family tents are pitched, you might stay at that spot for days, weeks, or maybe even months, far away from civilization, far away from even the nearest village, let alone city. No artificial light anywhere on the horizon.
You walk outside at night, to the sound of a gentle breeze blowing across the desert. The sky is exploding with thousands of stars in the crisp, dry desert air.
Carrying your guitar and maybe a portable, battery-operated amp, you find your spot a bit away from camp, and in magnificent solitude you strum, experiment with chords, come up with new music. Night after night after night.I love Tinariwen. Amazing band.
I used to think these look really cozy inside but then I heard about the spiders. So many spiders.
Slept a few nights in them and didn’t see an inordinate amount of spiders
But the beds are just wooden boards with carpet on them, and the carpet has never been cleaned
Take vodka
Define inordinate amount?
Also does their religion allow vodka?
I saw a few but it’s a desert. Not even spiders want to live there.
It’s quite difficult to find any alcohol but all the locals know which shops have it
I find myself morbidly curious about how you learned this
Random comment on the internet so it must be true
the fremin
cool tent, pun intended
i have a similar shaped tent and fail to keep it cool when it’s hot
Maybe you need it to be ten times bigger like the OP’s picture
Now that’s what I call a G.P. Extra Medium.
Geez that looks cozy!
