The patrimony of four symbolic cities of western civilization—Jerusalem, Athens, Rome, and London—culminated in a fifth iconographic city, Philadelphia in 1776 and 1787. — Russell Kirk, as alluded to in an interview about American Cicero: The Life of Charles Carroll

The Kammok Glider is the first ever consumer camping shelter to include built-in rain retention technology. An adjustable suspension allows for natural rain gutters; water is channeled along the tent’s curves to the four feet of the canopy. Flexible water bottles at the base of the feet collect the rainwater for immediate drinking or storage.
“And I saw the river over which every soul must pass to reach the kingdom of Heaven. And the name of that river was suffering. And I saw the boat which carries souls across the river. And the name of that boat was Love.” St. John of the Cross
