WHO WANTS TO CAMP IN A CARDBOARD BOX?

We have all had some rough nights in campsites at festivals If it is not the noise it's the weather. However, you know what would be worse?


Doing it all in a cardboard box!!


That's just what Electric Forest want you to do. How much do you think this experience would cost you? $50 - $100? Think again, they are selling the boxes for $200 and that does not include your festival entrance. That will run you around $324 which brings your total to $524 to live in a box for a few days.


Designboom writes, “The kartent is made entirely out of un-coated and thick cardboard providing a structural strength not found in a standard tent. each tent is designed to host two people with room for storage and has a 3.3-square-meter floor plan with a small back window to keep it fresh. according to their website a kartent ‘will stay dry with some showers for sure’ and ‘will perform similarly under heavy conditions as a regular tent would’ for several days.”


Oh, and if you don’t want to spend $200 on a cardboard box, you can get an actual tent from Dick’s Sporting Goods for $30.
