Supporting our sponsors helps keep us in the workshop and saving more plastic from becoming pollution 🤙🏽 A huge thanks to GudYu for sponsoring this adventure with their plastic-free toothpaste tablets! 🌱 https://gudyu.co.uk/

In this video, we take on possibly our most ridiculous project yet.. building a fully functioning tent out of crisp packets. After our success making a bivvy bag from crisp packets a few months ago, we decided to step it up a notch and see what can really be made using a bunch of used chip bags 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. Spoiler alert - it was windy, rainy and rocky.

This was also our first video with our new camera - if you noticed a difference in quality or style then we'd love to hear your thoughts!

And here's our video where we tested our recycling toothpaste tubes 🦷
