Bring your own gear, or ask us if we can borrow you some. We recommend a camping mattress, a sleeping bag and a pillow. If it is winter, make sure your gear is warm and waterproof.

Carrots provide you with a seamless way to make your booking without the need for traditional currency - with Carrots you can cover any Accommodation Fee at TDF. It mimics our $TDF system, except that it does not contain governance influence.

Carrots can be harvested monthly with a pioneer subscription or earned by completing 👾 quests (coming soon).

Get cosy in a glamping tent for you, and two or three more folks. It's spacious and comfortable, don't worry - they are 5m in diameter. There's a lamp to give you light, and a plug for your electronics. Usually the tent will be inside our warehouse.

Get cosy in a glamping tent for you, yourself and you again. They are 5m in diameter! If you're sharing it with your partner, you'll get a double mattress with warm blankets and fluffy pillows. In case you want two singles, please let us know.

There's a lamp to give you light, and a plug for your electronics. Usually the tent will be inside our warehouse, or maybe there'll be availability in the land.

 $TDF is a utility token backed with real-life value - it gives you access to yearly accommodation at TDF, TDF DAO governance, and really good friends.  

 By purchasing $TDF you are supporting the purchasing and reforestation of the TDF land and the renovation of the facilities, whilst making it your home for the now and the future. 

Bring your auto-home to TDF. We have spaces in the land that are flat, with shade and with electricity. Perfect for your home on the road.

Fox was invited to participate in $TDF's private sale. She can get her $TDF at lower prices, as the token price increases for every token sold and she's in first hundred purchasers.  She's not sure of how her life is going to roll in the next few years, but she decides to buy 30 $TDF - she can support the project construction for now, and if later she decides not to spend time there, she can sell her tokens after the go-live event.
