Convenience of using a spring-laden, retracting knife and scissor-tong comb is camping essentials for all

Posted on by

Camping tools have gone through a serious transformation over the years. So much so that today you can cut down on how much you want to pack and still have all the essentials you will need at the camp. Case in point, the Camfy that is bringing an innovation to the camping knives, scissors, tongs, and a skewer holder to make this trend stronger.

Given what may, knives and scissors are considered two of the most essential tools you must have when you’re on an adventure or a trip to a campsite. Preparing a gourmet meal or sitting by the barbeque at the beach are part of every outdoorsy must but if you are not carrying the right gear, you are left wondering when the moment of truth arrives.

Designer: Subin Kim

That said, it’s not the selection of the right tools, in fact, the correct tools you are carrying should be safe and useful. If the knife for instance is not securely kept in the sheath it can cause serious injury when pulling out of the camping kit. Camfy has pulled out a unique knife from its repertoire to give campers a meaningful tool.

The camping knife is designed to retract back into its sheath immediately after use. A combination of a small knife and saw, this cleverly thought knife is created to prevent accidental incidents that can happen when the knife is not kept in the sheath after its use. It has an interesting spring mechanism triggered by a button. On the press of a button, the knife would spring back into the handle, which is also a sheath.

The compact and useful tool next in the Camfy design league is the scissor and tong unification. The wonderful idea marries the scissor with the tong at the end of the blade that can grip food, so it can be used in unison for cutting and grilling meat and other food.

The most enticing here on the list of tools is the skewer holder to facilitate grilling. Designed after the clothes pin, this brushed metal item has little holes in the top to hold the skewers over the fire to grill. Camfy has almost all the things you need on hand to create gourmet outdoor meals, but if there is anything else, we are sure the designer can rethink convenience and safety for the same.

This Japanese flat-pack fire pit sets up effortlessly and uses a dual combustion system to amplify heat

Posted on by

When I say campfire, it would evoke a different emotion in each one of us. Time for self, chat with friends, searing meat for dinner; everything besides an ignited fire pit. One thing that remains constant though is the usual fuss of igniting the fire, tending to it, and ensuring it burns with less smoke and more heat. Finally, there may be a flat-packed fire pit that wants to ensure setting up fire is a breeze and you can control intensity and ambiance, thanks to its customizable metal plank design.

The user-friendly UM Fire Pit is a product of Japanese craftsmanship and immaculate metalwork. The design is pretty straightforward: you have a round base, that collects ash and has air vents to help in combustion as wood burns in the pit. The pit comprises eight similar-sized laser-cut and bent sheets of metal, which vertically fasten into the dedicated grooves in the base. You can choose to use a few or all of the planks, depending on whether you want to watch the fire burn when you’re sitting alone outside your tent, or want to barbecue steak for family dinner at the park next to your RV.

Given its design, the UM Fire Pit disassembles and can fit – along with its grill grate – into the carrying bag the size of a laptop case. When you’re at the campsite, you can assemble the fire pit back up in under a minute and build an effective campfire with minimal hassle. Interestingly, the fire pit packed up for transportation weighs 13 lbs, so if you’re a backpacker, this may not be the best bet. But if you’re driving or riding into the wilderness, there cannot be a more utility fire pit companion for you.

Airflow

I say this not because the UM Fire Pit has a fancy design and appears trendy and everything. In fact, I base my argument on its dual combustion design. The air vents in the base generate airflow into the pit helping boost air circulation, which permits the wood to burn more efficiently with less smoke. The eight panels making an enclosed heat chamber create secondary combustion which allows the wood to burn well. A grill plate can be added to the top (covers half portion) of the vertically aligned planks to prepare a good, smoked meal made possible by the pit’s adjustable combustion system and optimized airflow.

And when you want more visibility of the fire and don’t want to use the grilling option, you can remove a few panels and create the balance of warmth and visibility you want. The ash collected in the base of the UM Fire Pit is easy clean up, while the corrosion-resistant stainless interior of the base and the metal planks assure durability and years of usage. The exterior black color of these panels exudes a rustic charm made possible with mill scale coating instead of paint. The fire pit is currently being crowdfunded, it has already reached the funding goal and should be in line with its estimated shipping time of January 2024. The UM Fire Pit will retail for $299 but is for now available at a discount of $225. The product is made and will be shipped from Japan, so overseas customers will have to bear shipping and customs fees.

Shelter is one of the most basic human necessities, and nowhere is this more evident than when under the mercy of the elements in the great outdoors.

Isuzu D-Max is finally the pick-up camper of our dreams with rooftop tent and pull-out kitchen

Posted on by

Since the first rendition of the Isuzu D-Max, I have always thought it is a game-changing pick-up that has the potential of making a capable camper for dreamy adventurers. We got a fair idea of the capabilities with the sight of the AT35 Basecamp show truck earlier last year, and ever since, I for one had my eyes pinned on what’s on the road for the good old workhorse in the camping department.

A little over a year later, Isuzu UK introduces us to another purpose-built show vehicle, which is based on the Isuzu D-Max V-Cross model and is called the Expedition Edition. Designed as a camper, this model is delivered with a hardshell roof tent, a pull-out functional kitchen, and an awning for additional usable space outside.

Designer: Isuzu

With a little iota of doubt, the Isuzu camper has a spirit drenched in the idea of camping in unexplored terrains. For this, the modular pick-up camper is decorated with ARB camping accessories that turn the ordinary truck bed into a special Expedition Edition camper. And when you are done exploring the outdoors, it’s time to pack the gear and strip the truck blank for daily city routine.

With all the ARB accessories, the Valencia Orange D-Max V-Cross Expedition Edition looks a little exaggerated and outlandish. It is a simple, purposeful idea of an everyday pick-up camper you can take for a weekend trip or a longish stay in a remote location, provided you can fend for the power and water needs.

For comfort and functional usage on the go, the Expedition Edition comes mounted with a fold-out hardshell rooftop tent attached to an extending awning. The tent makes enough room for three persons and comes with a stargazing moonroof. For a little deck up, the rooftop tent has LED light strips on the inside and outside, and also features a storage section within.

Taking care of the culinary needs on the Isuzu camper is the installed slide-out kitchen complete with a prep area, three-burner gas stove, sink, fridge and a water canister. With the given features, Isuzu means business this time. Even though the camper is going to make presence on different RV/camper shows throughout the country in the coming months, the drivable Isuzu D-Max Expedition Edition will be available in the UK with ARB accessories.

This human-sized, can of beans shaped camper gives you a unique camping experience in national parks

Posted on by

When you think of camping, probably one of the staple foods that you can bring along with you and eat in front of the fire are beans. But when thinking about tents and camps, beans or cans of beans aren’t the first things you think of or maybe you don’t think of them at all. But a famous beans brand wants you to actually want to stay in a giant bean with wheels when camping in national parks. And of course, eat their beans.

Designer: Bush’s Beans

Bush’s Canper is a promotional idea for the family-owned bean company and they’re offering some lucky campers a chance to stay in the “fully stocked giant bean can on wheels” and stay in one of their three parks partners: Big Bend National Park in Texas, Grand Teton National park in Wyoming, or Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina and Tennessee. Aside from looking like a giant can outside, the entire camper, errr can-per, has all kinds of bean-themed design touches including beddings, posters, furniture, and of course, food.

The camper also has water and power already, in case you don’t want to really rough it out when camping. It also comes with food, drinks, camping (canping) gear, and other things you will need when camping. And you also get a private chef to prepare all your breakfasts and dinners plus packed lunches for when you go explore the park. But of course, expect that most of your meals are bean heavy or at least bean-centric since they’re the sponsor after all.

When you win the raffle, you and a companion get an all-expenses paid trip to the national park of their choice and a stay inside the Canper as well as all the things mentioned above. I don’t know if the bean camper is the actual incentive for people to join but hey, at least you get to say that you stayed inside a bean plus had the chance to explore the national park for free. Oh and you get to eat lots of beans too.

This portable electric pot was designed to cook soup while camping!

Posted on by

This portable electric pot is conceptualized for cooking soups and stews while camping.

You don’t normally think ‘soup’ when it comes to camping food, but it sure sounds like the move. Cozying up in front of the fire pit with a hot bowl of chicken noodle soup on a cold, windy evening sounds a lot more satisfying than being next to the fire on the same night with a hot dog in hand.

Designer: Yunsoo Choi

Since camping restricts many of the different modes of cooking typically available to us, the menu is usually pretty limited too. Hoping to expand the culinary experience of camping, industrial designer Yunsoo Choi conceptualized an electric pot for camping that can even be used to make soup.

Characterized by its triangular shape, Choi’s electric pot takes on the same form as tripods and table lamps that have similar silhouettes. While its shape is familiar, its operation slightly differs to be suitable for cooking stews and soups. Camping accessories and cookware keep a compact build to assume ultimate portability and Choi’s electric pot is no different. Through a telescopic layering system, the different modules of Choi’s electric pot can fit into one another and be carried by a raised, removable handlebar.

When cooking soup, campers can use the appliance’s main basin to combine all of their ingredients. Just around the basin’s front panel, a timer and temperature control interface allows users to adjust the cooking conditions of each stew and soup according to its recipe. An additional light attachment is also integrated into the build of Choi’s electric pot, allowing for late-night cooking to soothe those munchies.

A stove-friendly oven that lets you bake at home and outdoors easily with its portable design

Posted on by

Who said bakers had to stay aloof of their skill while camping? This portable oven capable of letting you bake over a stove flame is that ultimate accessory you were waiting to pack in the boot of your car when heading out to the wilderness.

Called the Ember, this conceptual portable oven features a monolithic design and has a sleek and clever build to ensure it can be used on a stove’s flame – without electricity – to create that ideal condition for baking. You can use this space-saving oven on the kitchen counter, or as I said, pack it along on your way out for camping. But as the designer puts it, the oven is more specifically a solution designed to facilitate baking in small kitchens.

Designer: Adrian Perez

Given its process of baking, Ember is able to bake healthier food in small domestic spaces faster as compared to conventional ways. The unit is more convenient to use as well – simply place it on the stove flame, fill Ember with its container for baking cupcakes, and close the glass lid. The heat channels through the corners up to the top of the oven from where it then bounces back from the lid to bake the cupcakes nicely from the top. Meanwhile, the heat is also allowed to enter the Ember from the center, which bakes the cakes evenly from the bottom.

In order to expand the possibilities, Ember comes with multiple accessories for different types of preparation. Along with the cupcakes tray, you get a multi-purpose tray, a refractory container, and a shelf. With handles on the side to move the unit on and off the flame, Ember has a thermometer display on one side, which is linked to a dedicated mobile app. The app allows you to keep tabs on your preparation and also scroll through a range of recipes you can prepare in the portable oven. For more stylish homes, Ember can be available in cherry tomato, strawberry quartz, and Salmon colors as well.

Instant Cooking Pot with Lantern

Camping trips can be pretty tough and having the right kind of gear and cooking accessories is vital. The WAMP instant cooking pot is one such essential accessory that makes use of the heat generated by the lantern to cook food in the wilderness.

For outdoorsy people, their adventure gear is the most valuable asset enroute to treks, hikes, or expeditions that span anywhere between a couple of days to a month. The good old reliable lantern being one of them. Keeping food warm or cooking whatever comes one’s way is the way to go on such arduous journeys, and the less there is to carry, the better it is. Of course without compromising on the essential items that are a must-have for core survival.

Instant Cooking Pot with Lantern

Meet WAMP, a camping cooking pot made from ultra-durable duralumin material, ideal for campers who value multiple uses of things they stuff in the backpack. Although a pretty basic utensil, this solves a very useful purpose. You can put it on top of any oil lantern to employ the heat dissipated to good use. Case-in-point, heating or keeping the food warm without expending any extra energy. Be it cooking piping hot canned food or preparing energy-boosting tea on a long trip to the mountains.

Instant Cooking Pot with Lantern

This camping instant pot makes complete sense as it employs the lantern heat in the range of 200 – 300 degrees Celsius to judicious use. After all, out in the wild everything is at a premium – energy reserve in particular. Keeping in mind easy carrying aesthetics, WAMP cooking pot can be attached to the backpack with a carbineer. The accessory is going to be available in six peppy color options including cool blue, green, yellow, red and silver.
