It's not exactly Man vs. Wild. UK communications company Orange has partnered with US design consultancy Kaleidoscope on the Glastonbury Solar Concept Tent, which uses photovoltaic fabric to capture the sun's energy. The tent then turns that juice into heating for the tent-floor, as well as powering cell phone chargers, an LCD control panel and, um, wireless internet.
Furthermore, if you're having problems finding your tent--not out in the wild, but in a crowded festival setting, like Glastonbury--punching a code into your cell phone will make your tent glow in a particular color.
Egads. What would Bear Grylls say?
