Most people in Norway have a summer house, called a hytte. We do not have, nor want a hytte. We have a Tentsile which we hang up in our garden during summer months. It gets lots of use and we did not regret buying it as one of the very first. We look forwards to many more years of joy hanging out in our summerhouse.

Tent vs Hammock for Backpacking
Really, you want something that fits in between a tent and a hammock. Something that does both. A tent that feels like a tent, but is off the ground. Hard not to say it, but that is exactly what a Tentsile is.
Fun Family Backyard Camping Activities
Sometimes, after a hard week’s work, it’s just a little too much to find the mojo for digging out the rucksacks from under the bed, packing the car, and heading out on the open road to pitch up just before the sun goes down. Sometimes it’s easier to just stay at home.

Treehouses vs Tree Tents
We’ve all daydreamed about building the perfect Treehouse in our backyard – whether it’s for the little ones to play in all year round, or for us adults to escape for a cup of tea and some peace and quiet! As kids, we could imagine nothing better than spending hours in our very own secret backyard treehouse, with only our imaginations and creativity (and a few birds) for company. Getting our parents to build one was a different matter altogether…
Prepare For Adventure
With Summer camping season upon us, now is a great time to test run your gear and take any necessary steps to refresh and renew your tent before it sees action...
Design and Craftmanship
The idea comes first, then you hone that until you get all the wrinkles out. It is only after that, you can start perfecting the craftsmanship. A tweak here and a tightening of the details there. It takes a while just like learning how to paint. You can’t hope to get a masterpiece out on your first try. With products, you need to send it out into the world, listen to the feedback, refine it and go again, until everyone’s experience of it is the same. So that’s what we did! We took on our customers’ feedback – good and bad - and used it to develop the range by adding new features.
