Top 5 Camping Backpacking Innovations

2016-04-13
that's when I was hiking in Peru the porters how they packed up all of their gear in the morning is basically they just laid out a blanket put their gear and a nice neat pile wrap too tight a few ropes and straps around it that became their shoulder straps and off they went and I just was amazed that these are these people that do this every day just with a very simple straightforward backpack my name is John Davison and I am a designer and have always bought gear and made it better I'm Kevin Stirling I'm co-founder of bush larks I am a lifelong camper on the Eagle Scout and I sort of grew up camping and teaching people how to camp one of the things that we really wanted to do is make camping and going into it simple it's so confusing to know if you should get an ultralight pack or a pack of breeze or a pack that can carry a thousand pounds four thousand miles when the average person is really just looking for a simple answer that is still elegant and effective that was really what we want to do accomplished I'm so we designed the pack that was first of all waterproof second of all lightweight third of all just the right size for a two or three-day trip I think we're the only outdoor company who is entire product line is meant to fit into this sort of culminating piece my favorite part of the pack is the roll bottom just because I have for a decade used a pack that you just get into from the top and I'm really looking forward to that ability to like well I might rain but I probably won't so I'm gonna put my food on the top but in case it does rain I'll put my rain gear and tarp on the bottom of the pack a lot of other company backpacks are all made in the same factory overseas and we didn't really agree with we wanted people to really stand behind the construction of a backpack we know the people at our Factory in Buffalo New York extremely well it's very close to where John is from and so he goes there and talks directly to the people who are making the bags and there's really no other company that I know of that that's doing that to agree that you don't take that doors very seriously and you want here that you really know the story behind then our backpack is a great option for you being outdoors is a big deal for me it doesn't matter if I'm in the park next door on the boat trip with my friends or at the peak of the mountain on the other side of the world in the end I think it's all about chasing these rare moments when you're totally at ease with yourself I find these moments in nature and quite frequently it might be loved hammock honestly is there a way not to be laid-back while floating between two palm trees as a matter of fact there is mosquitos for example experts in woodford even worse falling coconuts and of course rain the ark enemy of hammock lovers around it look sad but true chemical ava's sometimes do live an uncomfortable and dangerous life in order to change that we have created the flying tent it's a complete redesign of what a hammock can be you can use it with the mosquito net if it starts raining sip up the rain cover and you will find yourself relaxing in a waterproof floating tent you can also set it up on the ground as a BB tent or in case you really decide to walk on in the rain you can easily convert the hammock into a fancy rain poncho with this key on your backpack there are simply no more excuses for not enjoying the outdoors the flight and fits into this tiny little bag and only weighs about one kilogram this makes it one of the smartest and lightest outdoor gears that you can possibly get it consists of high-quality waterproof materials and it comes with all kinds of useful features that make your outdoor adventures even more enjoyable hi I'm Joe with GrubHub we manufacture the GrubHub camp kitchen you can see behind me here and our newest product is called the circ and it's a backpack kitchen it provides a complete surround for your stove it makes the stove more efficient by keeping the wind off of it and also helps make sure that you or your pets don't knock your stove over so you've got dinner at the end of a long day of backpacking the circ has a removable compartment at the top that stores all of your backpack necessities like your lighter matches condiments etc and is completely removable and quickly removable so that you could store it in your bear box at the end of the day and just leave the circuit in place so this also has a zippered compartment at the back that stores your spoon your sport etc items for your backpack kit and it's anchored here with the rock we've left the loops long enough so that you could either use the stakes that we include or a rock to anchor it in place and here's a 360 view you can see how it's shaped like a tent so that it keeps the wind off of your stove and this back pocket provides a place that stores the shot corded carbon rods that give it its shape and these stakes it sets up in about a minute and collapses to store all of your backpack kitchen kit so it stores and organizes your backpack kitchen kit and then provides a shelter to make this stove much more efficient and keep you from knocking it over so that is the new GrubHub I'm Jason and I'd like to introduce the NGO Emmett this tiny stuff sack contains an oversized 11 foot long hammock designed to be the most comfortable one you've ever tried I call it the go hammock because it's designed to go anywhere with you and it can be set up in a snap the level of comfort it provides makes it perfect for sleeping napping or relaxing it's lightweight and portable and is great for camping hiking picnics or just lounging in the backyard the go hammock eliminates uncomfortable pressure points by distributing the users body weight more evenly than traditional hammocks its generous size allows freedom to move around and makes it easy to find lots of comfortable positions even for side sleepers to reduce the curved body position that's associated with hammocks experts recommend lying at a diagonal angle to enable the user to lie even flatter we made the go hammock extra long and wide at 11 feet it's much longer than most hammocks this extra length helps flatten out the body position dramatically at 70 inches wide one can lie at an even greater angle flattening the body position even more large hammocks can sometimes have annoying loose fabric on the sides to eliminate this problem I designed removable fabric tensioners that pull the loose fabric out of the way the tensioners make folds in the fabric giving the hammock its unique shape every go hammock ships with a carabiner and a rope loop to use with a suspension system of your choice our optional tree straps with cinch buckles make setup a breeze and they're easy to adjust simply tilt the buckle pull the strap and you're good to go these heavy-duty polyester straps won't stretch like nylon straps that are commonly used with hammocks to take the guesswork out of setting up your hammock I recommend using our optional Ridgeline you see in order for a hammock to be as comfortable as possible it must be set up with a certain amount of sag our ridgeline sets the sag for maximum comfort every time it also makes a great place to hang items while enjoying your hammock the apex is a versatile high-quality weather shelter that will protect you and your here from rain wind Sun and even snow I designed this tarp especially for the go hammock but it can be used with virtually any camping hammock on the market it also makes a great all-purpose camping tarp or shade canopy even when you're not using a hammock set up is simple with the included guy ropes and stakes the apex can be pitched in countless configurations to adjust to changing weather conditions here are just a few of the many setup modes that can be used with the apex camping shelter with 20 tile oops the only limitation of configurations is your imagination the apex is made from high-strength 70d polyester fabric with a durable polyurethane coating
