Tentsile Journal

Introducing the Tentsile Universe, the world’s first 3 element tent! It can be set up on the ground, suspended in the trees or on the water.  This groundbreaking model will revolutionise your camping holidays, but don’t just take our word for it. Check out the awards it’s won and what industry experts have to say about our latest addition to the Tentsile range…

Thomas Fuller once said: "He that plant trees loves someone over than himself." We fervently believe this. In fact, it underlies everything we do. We've grown from a treehouse architect's seed of an idea and passion for trees into a flourishing global team that strives for social change to protect the world's forests.

Happy New Year Tentsile Tribe! It’s that time again when we’re all looking forward to the adventures ahead. During this time, researchers say about 60% of us make New Year's resolutions but only about 8% are successful in achieving them. If you’re feeling a bit flat after all the festive fun and are looking for resolutions that you will actually stick to in the coming year, then you’ve come to the right place!

Whether you’re picking presents for rad dads, adventure- mad mums, camping-crazy kids, an outdoorsy other half or a solo explorer- it’s never to be easier to get your gift giving all wrapped up in time for Christmas!

 

Earlier this year, the Big Canopy Campout saw hundreds of people and organisations take to the trees this September, sleeping out in forests around the globe to raise funds for vital conservation work. One such group is the Bob Brown Foundation, who got in touch with Tentsile to ask for some Tree Tents to help fight deforestation on the front line. Of course, we were more than happy to join their plight – saving trees is what we do best. Hear from Erik Hayward - CEO of the Bob Brown Foundation - as he explains what’s happening in the Tarkine Forests of Tasmania.

This year we’re going greener than ever before. Join us and become part of a movement to help reverse deforestation!

But how, you ask? In this week’s blog we’re looking at how, with your help and the hard of work conservationists, together, we can all make this world a little greener.

We made the #TentsileAdventure series to share all of the amazing adventures and outings the Tentsile Tribe are taking part in, and when we say adventure – we mean it!

 This week, we spoke to a young English couple, as they brave an incredible year-long journey cycling around the world! You won’t believe some of these stories, so read on to get inspired for your own #TentsileAdventure…

We’ve set ourselves the challenge of planting ONE MILLION TREES worldwide in five years!

We’re almost at the end of the second year of this exciting challenge and thanks to your support and the incredibly hard work of our tree planting partners- an amazing 393,755 trees have been planted! One tree can absorb as much as 48 pounds of carbon dioxide per year. That means the trees you helped plant could absorb over 18 million pounds of CO2.

As the summer winds down and our thoughts turn towards autumnal adventures ahead, we’re looking back on a truly awesome season of Tentsile’s Camp Outs!

Last year’s inaugural Tree Tent events were record-breaking, but our camp outs in Germany and California this summer reached even greater heights. We saw more people hanging out in trees than ever before! Altogether over 350 people came to elevate their adventure - making these the largest tree camps in the world, (that we know of)!

Our friends at The Big Canopy Camp Out are busy gearing up for the tree top event of the year. 

Join us-, as we catch up with them before they set off, once again, to far-flung corners of the world to camp out in the canopy…

Pets are a big part of the family. That’s why when you go camping it’s hard to leave your furry friends at home. Taking a pet on any outing will have challenges, but if you prepare, prepare, and prepare some more, it will be the adventure of a lifetime!

We’ve put together some helpful tips to make sure you can enjoy the great outdoors with your loyal companion…
