New Electric Forest Camping Experience: Literally Just A Cardboard Box for $200

Electric Forest takes pleasure in going inexperienced and protecting the grounds clear. The organizers, in addition to the attendees (for essentially the most half), do a superb job this 12 months after 12 months. So, once we noticed the “GA Eco-Tent Add-On” function being launched in 2019, it undoubtedly caught our consideration.


So, what's it? Well, we’ll allow them to clarify: In partnership with Electricology, presenting the GA Eco-Tent, Electric Forest’s most sustainable tenting possibility. Unlike an everyday tent the Eco-Tent is made out prime quality wooden fiber cardboard, and is totally recyclable after use! The Eco-Tent neighborhood might be adjoining to tent solely tenting, near each Main Street and the venue entrance.

In different phrases, for $200 attendees can camp in a glorified cardboard field. Um, what?

This possibility is perhaps handy for out--towners flying in or somebody who straight up hitchhiked all the way in which to Forest (hey, I’m certain it has occurred greater than as soon as). But, $200??? Who has this sort disposable revenue to spend on a disposable — sorry, recyclable — shelter? Not to say: what good will or not it's if it rains? What variety insulation does it present to maintain you heat?

Writes Designboom, “The kartent is made completely out un-coated and thick cardboard offering a structural energy not present in an ordinary tent. every tent is designed to host two folks with room for storage and has a Three.Three-square-meter ground plan with a small again window to maintain it recent. in accordance with their web site a kartent ‘will keep dry with some showers for certain’ and ‘will carry out related below heavy situations as an everyday tent would’ for a number of days.”

Keep in thoughts this worth doesn't embrace the worth a GA admission, which begins at $324.75.

Hey, a minimum of now we have choices. See all of the wristband and lodging packages .

Oh, and when you don’t need to spend $200 on a cardboard field, you may get an precise tent from Dick’s Sporting Goods for $30 .
