Lighter backpack equipment: Email:
j.p.trotter@uwic.ac.uk
Hello my name is John Trotter. I am a design student at
www.uwic.ac.uk/sped Wales UK. I am investigating the possibility of combing backpacking equipment to improve the weight and size.
The items that I have listed below have come up most frequently in all Backpacking/camping lists that I have looked into.
I want to combine 2 or 3 of the items, into one easy to carry pack.
An example of what I want to achieve: Have the light and stove charge of the one type of fuel. The light and stove would fit together in a tube which would protect them. The tube would also serve as a water filter when the light and stove are removed.
1. Which of this equipment is most important to you when backpacking?
1. Camping Lights.
2. Cooking stoves.
3. Water filters.
4. Pots & frying pans.
5. Should there be something else on this list?
The project is at a very early stage and I am looking for an insight and ideas into what backpackers need. Every person it will have a different view. Every comment and suggestion will be of great value to my project.
