DIY Tent… using Chip Bags ⛺️ #plasticwaste

Last month we wanted to take on a new recycling challenge - building a fully functioning tent out of crisp packets. After our success making a bivvy bag from crisp packets earlier in the year inspired by the wonderful folk from the Crisp Packet Project - we decided to step it up a notch and see what could really be made using a bunch of used crisp packets and an iron. ⛺

And there's no point in just making a tent without testing it properly, so we took our crispy creation out to Dartmoor for some wild camping, with one of us sleeping in a standard tent and the other in our DIY version. There's a full video over on our channel if you want to see how it all went, but spoiler alert - it was rocky, windy and rainy. ⛰️🌧️

If you want to try out some DIY crisp packet projects yourself, check out the Crisp Packet Project - they have a bunch of plans over on their website, and even ways to get involved with helping them turn plastic waste into items that can really help those in need.
