Creative camping tools and designs for the modern nomad
Implications - Today's campers have so much more than simple tents and matches. For the modern nomad, there is a plethora of camping tools, devices and designs that make sleeping in the great outdoors a new and exciting experience. Instead of filling the void of technology and social connections, however, these camping innovations -- which range from eco-friendly lighting to hybrid tents -- simply augment the camping experience, making it easier rather than turning it into something it's not.
Trend Themes
1. Camptech - The trend towards new tools, devices, and designs that make sleeping in the great outdoors a new and exciting experience without compromising basic camping safety and survival rules.
2. DIY Camping - The trend of creating new pieces of camping gear using natural fibers, wood, paper, copper tubing, and other materials, which enhances the camping experience.
3. Camping Convenience - The trend of bringing camping gear to a new level of convenience that makes camping bearable for those not keen on the outdoor lifestyle.
Industry Implications
1. Outdoor Living - New tools that augment camping can easily be merged with outdoor living trends, particularly in urban green spaces or in outdoor living spaces.
2. Recreational Vehicles (RV) - The trend of making camping easy and convenient through car-home hybrids can disrupt the RV industry by catering to younger generations into outdoor living and exploring roads less traveled.
3. Home Decor - Tents are no longer just outdoor gear; they are now luxurious, stylish, and colorful options that can decorate backyards or replace traditional guest houses, providing business opportunities for boutique home-y suppliers.
