Viral Video: Woman Makes A Camping Tent Out Of Plastic Wrap

The whole point of outdoor activities like camping, hiking and trekking is to be at one with nature and take in the moment if you are so inclined. But imagine bringing something that's totally toxic to trees and animals into a forest and trying to pass it off as jugaad. We suggest you see the video and decide for yourself exactly how inappropriate something like this is.

The video opens with a shot of a woman holding a plastic wrap in her hand. She then proceeds to wrap sheet upon sheet of plastic wrap around four trees. By the end of the clip, there's a lower plastic sheet birth and a roof to match. She doesn't stop there. She then continues to make walls out of the plastic wrap sheets before finally creating a snug enclosure for her stay in while camping in a forest.

The clip was shared by 'howeverythingworks' on Instagram on May 8. The caption read: 'Making a camping Tent out of a plastic Wrap!!! Credit: OS Bushcraft and Survival.'  

The video raked in 2.7 million videos, 66K likes and comments to match. The irony here is bringing massive amounts of plastic to the last place it should be, in nature. The internet, caustic as ever, didn't hold back. "Why would anyone be in the woods with no tent or sleeping bag, but rolls of plastic wrap?" asked one user. "The irony of using single use plastic in nature," mentioned another. "You were clearly more motivated to see if you could and didn’t stop to think if you should. What a waste of plastic, a simple, reusable tent would have sufficed," reasoned a third.
