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! 🌱 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 as always, a huge thank you goes out to The Brotherhood: / brothersmake

Brothers! I'm proud to be the 515th viewer. I just realized that if you extended your rules to allow for rice bags for the floor of the tent, then you would have a much more durable product. I can't wait to try this. This video was very wholesome.

Hi Guys That is an amazing project! I love it! I wish I could find the video I had from years ago, that was from India. This lady had people gathering all kinds of wrappers and trash. She had people cleaning and sorting the trash and she built houses from the trash! This wonderful lady even built furniture with the trash! It was so cool! The lady used big blocks made out of trash for the walls. It was awesome! I love your tent ideas! I love doing DIY things. I have even thought of putting plastic bags together in layers and making giant sheets, to put up a water vapor barrier for a storage shed. And build the shed out of wooden pallets. I haven't done it yet because of space in my mobile home lot. But I will as soon as I get a house of my own.😁 Great job guys. This would also be a nice mat for going to the park or beach. I would use it to put a blanket or comfy mat on top of it. 🙂 Also I've subscribed to your channel. And I will keep watching to see what else you guys get into! Have a wonderful day! Cheryl 🙂

Cheryl, I love your enthusiasm. Don't forget that durable bags for holding large amounts of food, like rice, are good for things like tent floors.

Vents near the top with an additional weather cover would help with the humidity problems. Maybe use mesh vegetable bags over the openings to provide some structural integrity, though if you can scrounge some window screens, they may be better material. Cool project!

Side / ridge vent pockets needed to clear out internally produced moisture from your breathing and body heat 🤣

Came here to say this. They didn’t realize how wet your own breath can make the inside of an unbreathable container.

I got one for you guys. Make a camper that you pull with a bicycle. Preferably one that folds out so as not to be so unwieldy while riding. Many do with corrugated plastic but it seems to me it would be more sturdy made with bottle cap plastic.

Literally, eating crisps while watching this. I think my crisps packet is getting nervous🤣 Great work, guys. And that location; amazing!. Reminds me of Weathertop.

@whitecanegamer Час назад

Same - mine are pringles though. Won't make much of a tent. Low effort pencil case maybe?

Epic film. Cool project. Thanks for saving the world.

I’m impressed. Breathability is the biggest problem I can see.

Now you need backpacks made from chip bags!

Great project! Definitely Jonny's turn next! Now you need to build a canoe with crisp packets to take with you!

Another source of plastic sheet would be with your local painters. They use large thin sheets to cover floors/walls. A lot of the time they are one use and then disposed of.

That is a god build. It'd be interesting to see how you improve and build on it.

Went searching for ways to tackle microplastics and stumbled on you guys! Nice video btw, still on my way to see how to tackle microplastics. Heard there's a bug that eats plastic... caterpillar of greater wax moth.

@jakobozias7613 5 часов назад

I'm really curious if anyone has any information on how these might be used in a hot climate, like Texas. If you reverse it, would it be cooler on the inside? Heat is the most dangerous thing we experience here, and there is a large unhoused population. We've also got a litter/recycling problem around our city and beach. I wonder if it would be possible to partner some of the environmental groups with the homelessness groups in a mutually beneficial way.

@lesallison9047 11 минут назад

Yes, the sheets will reflect the heat. It will work best with the silver side pointing towards the sun. I have seen these bags turn into sleeping bag, bags, keeping sleeping bags dry from rain, and reflecting the heat back into the sleeping bag. They were being used in the winter in Northern England. Not sure about the economic aspect to it, as obviously a lot of heat is used in making them and you can buy silver polythene on a roll. Best of look anyway on what sounds like worthy plan of action. ✌️💚🙏 🇬🇧

I can practically hear our grocery overlords scrambling to raise chip prices now to price gouge the poor gen Zers and millennials who can't even afford rent, let alone a house.
