Inside the OutDoor Show 2016
Trade shows can be hard. There is no escaping that fact. Everyone knows it - the effort and time they take to plan, the building of the stand, the early starts and late finishes, the sore throat from hours of talking. But they are also fun. There is no escaping that fact either. And everyone knows that too – the meeting new people, the making of deals, the working together, the well-earned beer at the end of the day. A conflict of exhaustion and exhilaration. And that is exactly what the OutDoor show was for Tentsile. All of it in one. Four seasons in one day.
Hot Stuff
Firstly off, we would like to thank you all for believing in Tentsile. Your enthusiasm, praise and support has been overwhelming these past few months. June 2016 broke all kinds of records and took us all by surprise! We went viral with over 150m views of various edits of the film we made of YOUR content, we have had an upsurge in sales so large that we are currently battling a 800 tent back log ( thank you for your patience ), and we have seen retailers coming back for more stock again and again and again....
Tentsile goes back to nature with NuAdventure
As a start-up company, a range of adventure sports are used to entice small groups across part of the island. The pinnacle of this pilot week was perhaps the night spent stargazing to the sound of crashing waves – together with the feathered inhabitants of the cave. A real natural treat.
Follow The Tentsile Road
But it is not just Europe that feels like a playground in the sun. The Tentsile community is growing across the world, from Australia to Argentina, from Cambodia to Canada, from the largest countries to the smallest villages; our Tentsile community is growing, bringing all of our experiences together.
Euphoria Festival Fun!
Although I had a 1400 mile trip in front of me, I couldn’t help a smile of satisfaction creep over my face as I realised the season of summer festival fun was about to begin – and people will be pitching their Tentsiles everywhere the world over.
I Love My Job
A jolly fella named Syd was trying to find a place to live in Ogden; so I offered up my help. Naturally, I asked if they were hiring and sent over my CV right away. The whole Tentsile team was heading to Utah from London for the Outdoor Retailer show. I was heading to the show anyway, so I made some time and we arranged to meet up. Just after a few minutes of chatting with Alex… a job offer! Before signing on, I had the pleasure of working side by side with both Kirk and Alex modifying a prototype. That pretty much sealed the deal for me. These guys are passionate and treated me as though I was already part of the team/family. So I accepted the job.
Exposing Europe’s Biggest Hole.
Rise Up are are group of activists on a mission to share a dirty secret and expose Europe’s biggest man-made hole in an attempt to save one of Europe’s ancient forests.
#gettingoutagain!
Here at Tentsile, we want to get in on some of the outside action too. And that is why, when I had the opportunity to go up and out to the Peak District in northern England, I jumped at the chance at helping the oldest camping magazine in the world! So I made the four hour trip from London with excitement and anticipation. And when I got there I was not disappointed.
Tentsile Experience Eco-Camping Finland
New Tentsile Experience Eco-Camp had a first public press event at Nature Centre Haltia on Wednesday 6th of April with all supporting co-operators and organisations involved in this amazing Nature Reserve of Finland.
Finland Stop over
After 20 years of state funded research, it is now well documented that forests are good for us, relieving stress, lowering blood pressure and clearing the mind. Finland has started making moves towards a new 21st century model of tourism with wilderness and nature at it's heart, and this event was the culmination of phase one of the action plan. They call it, Finland - Stop Over!
Tentsile's 3rd Birthday
Can you believe it? A once wistful dream of designing and making portable tree houses is now earning us a living! First of all, thank you. Without your desire to make your own way into the trees, we would never have kept going this long.
Honesty is the Best Policy
Seems like you guys like honesty. Doesn't usually go hand in hand with corporate strategy these days though, does it? Well, we aren't corporate; we are a tiny start up with a passion for trees and a simple idea.
