Tentsile Blog

Through the NEW #TentsileActivate campaign, we aim to inspire, educate,  and most importantly, activate. If you’re ready to get your hands dirty, watch this space. Prepare to see the Tentsile Tribe involved in more ways than ever before…

We are absolutely thrilled to share the incredible news that Tentsile have now reached our target of planting 1 Million trees in 10 years, with our tree planting partners! Protecting and preserving the World’s forests has always been at the very heart of everything we do here at Tentsile. We don’t plant trees so that we can sell more Gear – in fact it’s the exact opposite – we sell tents so that we can plant as many trees as possible. Simple.  

Back in April 2023, we began working with veritree so that we could better verify, monitor and protect the trees we have planted in partnership with them. So, when veritree invited us to become a founding member of their newly launched Restorative Coalition, we couldn’t wait to get started!

The Restorative Coalition is community of businesses committed to integrating nature restoration into their operations. Through this collaboration, we aim to use collective knowledge, resources, and expertise to drive positive change and contribute to a more sustainable future.

So well designed are our products in fact, that they have received critical acclaim from some of the most reputable reviewers in the world – with gear editors, testers and reviewers from the likes of Outside Magazine, Backpacker, Men’s Journal, Gear Junkie and countless others putting our Tree Tents through their paces. Each time we’ve had stellar reviews, and thousands more from our customers to back them up – testifying to the incredible build quality, durability, and strength of our range. Our success however, has drawn attention of the sharks out there who have started to flood the market with a kaleidoscope of copy-cat and counterfeit products....

Becoming less dependent on plastic is definitely a journey we’re all on, especially here at Tentsile too. And we’re certainly not there yet, there’s still so much more to do. Last year we stopped using any single-use plastic in our factory and instructed all our suppliers not to use plastic packaging in the transportation of our materials. Find out more about the steps we've taken, and why we are so committed to eradicating single use plastics once and for all. 

Kids can find the joy in everything - especially if there’s a Tree Tent involved. Having a portable treehouse in a bag is a fantastic way to make camping adventures even more fun, and coax those little ones away from the screens and back into the Great Outdoors!
