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!

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.
Share the tent and make recycled earplugs for the snoring.
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!
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.
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.
Same - mine are pringles though. Won't make much of a tent. Low effort pencil case maybe?
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.
The pocket was a good collector for moisture. Perhaps overlapping flaps like roof tiles and fish scales would help moisture to drop out.
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.
@allgood5140 and kayak
Great project! Definitely Jonny's turn next! Now you need to build a canoe with crisp packets to take with you!
Very cool idea, and for a 48hr by the seat of your pants build, this managed to do quite well.
I imagine that this sort of structure would be best suited for milder climates, but also that this sort of material could be utilized in multiple, non-camping applications such as vapor barriers. It may require multiple layers and overlaps, though, and i fear the level of prep needed to use this material would be a huge barrier to large scale implementation.
It would be interesting to see if somehow this material could be combined with other recyclable material(s) to be used as a base product to be used to make other things.
I wish i knew more about polymer sciences to be able to suggest some theoretical ideas. As it is, i am just astounded that this build worked as well as it did.
My hope is that an elementary school somewhere has a science teacher that subscribes to your channel and inspires their students to pursue what may be possible in the world of recycling materials.
Thank you for a fun, entertaining, and inspirational channel.
Epic film. Cool project. Thanks for saving the world.
Now you need backpacks made from chip bags!
Trial and error. Best way to learn. 😁
Commendation from me to you,I really appreciate your efforts towards the planet
Great love from an ecoinnovator in Nigeria
You lads rock! Always coming up with awesome content and creations. Truly appreciate you guys
I’m impressed.
Breathability is the biggest problem I can see.
You guys should definitely get a table top press for riveting, very simple and worth it, I work in a canvas shop and use it all the time, that being said you guys should test this material out as a replacement for boat canvas 👀
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.
It turned out amazing!
gotta put in vents, I don't think it would be too difficult to add on though. I saw people mentioning mesh produce bags, that could definitely work. Especially at the triangle of the back near the top, and you could add an overhanf "roof" to keep weather out simply.
That was great fun to watch.
You brothers are awesome and I hope you inspire lots of people to get creative with what ever is around them. Thank you for showing us. ❤
I'm working on making one from grocery sacks. I don't know about y'all but here in the states we make our grocery bags from hdpe! Stoked to see y'all's ideas!
That is a god build. It'd be interesting to see how you improve and build on it.
Thank you ❤
Those guys are so nice.
Dartmoor looks great.
A man with an iron! All right!!
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.
You could use those as reflecting sun on the windshield of car
Some dog biscuit bags seem to be similar to crisp bags but thicker and larger. Have you looked at them?
brilliant
I made a blanket for a homeless man from crisp packets, and sheep’s wool…he 😍
Saludos des Ecuador, 🇪🇨 también hacemos contenido de reciclaje ♻️
Thanks I will check out your channels sometime ✌️
what an intents adventure
Chip bags?
You mean Crisp bags!
Crisp packets even.
@@quiggles They have been watching too much American you tube 👍
What a great project idea for students doing DoFE, thanks for sharing and making this great video. You are awesome 🤜♻️🤛😍
Can you add a link to the toothpaste tube recycling video? I was unable to find it
WOW 260 Likes in 3 hours. Nice.
What about doing the improvements (vents, sewn in groundsheet etc.) then seeing if @WildBeare will take it for a proper test? :)
Hope you stayed crispy in there lol.
LOL. Lord of the RANGZ...n shieettt.
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.
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.

You was alway's going to be up against it simply because of what the crisp packets are made of🧐. The problem you have and that you are going to struggle with is the moisture/condensation, as you already know because of the outside temperature being different to the temperature produced by your bodyheat etc the tent will always have condensation sitting upon the inner wall's. It's going to be a challenge for you to make the inside dry, even if you are able to somehow install a dry liner to help stop the condensation from basically getting you wet the issue is that condensation will develope between the two walls of your tent, the inner wall of the crispy tent and the dry liner itself. I hope you decide to take the opportunity to put together another video of you doing your best to fix the moisture problem and stay overnight in the open countryside again. Basically, recreating this video once more 🤔.
That said Goodluck to the pair of you 🫡🤪
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.
You guys are British….why the hell are you calling them “chip bags” 😂
Did you hired Hannah so she would spend 2 days reading WD40 etiquette? It's kind of cruel...
I felt this wonderful feeling in my mind, body and soul when she said I prefer luxrul
