The Tenativ Tents Are Assembled By Blind Workers

The Tenativ is a one-person 'tent in a bag' solution offered by Houston, Texas-based outdoor gear maker Tenativ. This tent can easily be assembled in less than a minute, which will make it appeal to casual tent users such as occasional campers and festival-goers.
You might ask yourself what's stopping you from simply buying a small tent and a large bag. Well the advantage with the Tenativ is that your bag remains attached to your tent at all times. Thoughtfully enough, the bag is accessible via a small door once the tent is pitched, which allows you to access the gear you need whilst still keeping the interior of your tent tidy and neat.
But what's most heartwarming about the Tenativ project is the fact that the tents will be sewn and assembled by a workforce of blind workers, and a chunk of profits will be donated towards a teenage homelessness organization.
