It’s time to take your annual family camping trip to the next level.   This Eureka Intent Tent comes with a solar LED panel that, when charged for 8 hours, will light up your tent for 8 hours, (on high). This easily assembled, 2-pole square dome tent sleeps 6 and has plenty of space with its 121 sq. ft. interior and 6′ 6″ ceiling height.  The solar LED panel, which weighs 3.4 oz, utilizes the same durable, lightweight, and flexible solar panels used on Eureka’s military tents; it’s splash-proof and has adjustable brightness settings. The solar panel can also function as AA battery charger.

eco-friendly Snake Island Furniture


snakeisland1.jpg

Toronto based Snake Island Furniture makes unique, sustainable furniture from salvaged wood and reclaimed timber that would otherwise be wasted.  Much of the company’s wood is harvested locally by their arborist who carefully claims pieces of trees that are about to be taken down, or have been damaged by wind or time.  They also mill and dry the reclaimed timber locally to reduce transport.  Their modern furniture embodies old world craftsmanship as well as the natural character and imperfections of the original tree.

For every piece of furniture sold, a tree is planted.
