How Our Clothing is Made – 100% Sustainable

How Our Clothing is Made – 100% Sustainable

Did you know that 60% of clothes are made from or with plastic and that a dump truck of textiles waste goes to landfill or incineration every second? When it comes to plastic waste, we are the problem and we need to be become part of the solution.

We work with Teemill as our clothing supplier and we chose them because they are a sustainable, print-on-demand organisation who built the first circular economy for fashion.

Car Camping with Tentsile

Car Camping with Tentsile

The great thing about camping with a Tentsile Tree Tent or camping hammock is the versatility it holds. This also applies to general styles of camping, with campgrounds and campsites giving the option to drive your car into site and drive your car to your pitching area, setting your tent up right next to the car.
